Few tips to Prevent Global Warming

As the world around you reels under climatic pressure this is how you can do your bit to help Mother Nature. Here are seven; simple, everyday things each of us can do to help stop Global Warming. Pick one, some, or all. Every little effort helps and adds up to a whole lot of good.
1) Change a light - Replacing a regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent one saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

2) Drive less- Walk, bike, carpool, take mass transit, and/or trip chain. All of these things can help reduce gas consumption and one pound of carbon dioxide for each mile you do not drive.

3) Recycle more and buy recycled- Save up to 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide each year just by recycling half of your household waste. By recycling and buying products with recycled content you also save energy, resources and landfill space!

4) Check your tires- Properly inflated tires mean good gas mileage. For each gallon of gas saved, 20 pounds of carbon dioxide are also never produced.

5) Avoid products with a lot of packaging- Preventing waste from being created in the first place means that there is less energy wasted and fewer resources consumed. When you purchase products with the least amount of packaging, not only do you save money, but you also help the environment! Reducing your garbage by 10% reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 1,200 pounds.

6) Plant a tree- A single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. So what are you waiting for? Plant a tree today and don’t forget to take care of it.

7) Turn off electronic devices when not in use- Simply turning off your TV, VCR, computer and other electronic devices can save each household thousand of pounds of carbon dioxide each year
