How to stop Global Warming ?

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING:

There are several things which you can do directly after reading . However, some of the actions which we all have to take will slightly decrease your present standards of living.

First, since the largest portion of electricity is produced by burning coal, we should try to cut-down on our demand for electricity. Coal combustion creates the largest amount of CO2 per energy unit of any fossil fuel. Coal and oil together represent 80% of the fuel supply used to generate electricity. Here are few things you can do ...

• Decrease the use of electricity,every kilowatt-hour of electricity saved keeps 1.5 to 2 pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere.Turn off electronic devices when you are not using them.
• Install an energy efficient thermostat, with a day and night timer
• Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer.Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of CO2 a year with this simple adjustment.
• Plant trees,a single tree can absorb 1 ton of CO2 over its life time.
• Switch to Renewable Energy,such as Solar,Wind and Biomass.
• Use less hot water (showers & washing), instead use solar water heaters.
• Switch to fuel efficient cars,if possible Green Technology ( Hybrid & Hydrogen Cars ).Keeping your tyres(tires) inflated properly can improve the fuel efficiency by more than 3%.
• Use public transport system (mass transit) or share a ride with your colleagues (coworkers) or classmates.
• Reduce waste,recycle more,you can save 2,400 pounds of CO2 per year by recycling just half of your household waste.

Spread the word,encourage your friends to follow the above mentioned things and make this planet a better place to live in.
