What is being done???
You really hear a lot about how people try and say that Global Warming is a minor issue, but the facts seem to prevail. When everyone looks at global warming as a whole, they will start to figure out that if everyone does at least one thing to help contain the growing problem, we can make a huge imapct on the environment! Many things that you and I could do to help out the environment is:
There are a lot of opportunities to recycle. Why don't we? There are a lot of problems with garbage "overload" and there are many ways that the trash could have been disposed of properly.
Carbon Dioxide is emmited into the atmosphere each time an AC or heater is being used. Setting your thermostat just 2 degrees lower in winter and higher in summer could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.
With the use of electronics and everything that needs to be plugged in, there is a lot of energy getting used up. If you take the time to turn appliances and electronics off after use, it will definitely benefit the environment.
With the increase in the population, more and more people will need to depend on motor vehicle to get them from point A to point B. There will also be a bigger demand for oil and everything else that people need to make the car run efficiently. There are newer, cleaner vehicles getting made to help with the problem of more emissions.
If more people decided to make the choice of encouraging other people to conserve and use less, there will be less stuff getting wasted.

Many things that you and I could do to help out the environment is:
1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
There are a lot of opportunities to recycle. Why don't we? There are a lot of problems with garbage "overload" and there are many ways that the trash could have been disposed of properly.
2. Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning
Carbon Dioxide is emmited into the atmosphere each time an AC or heater is being used. Setting your thermostat just 2 degrees lower in winter and higher in summer could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide each year.
3. Use the "Off" Switch
With the use of electronics and everything that needs to be plugged in, there is a lot of energy getting used up. If you take the time to turn appliances and electronics off after use, it will definitely benefit the environment.
4. Drive Smart and Drive Less
With the increase in the population, more and more people will need to depend on motor vehicle to get them from point A to point B. There will also be a bigger demand for oil and everything else that people need to make the car run efficiently.

5. Encourage Others to Conserve
If more people decided to make the choice of encouraging other people to conserve and use less, there will be less stuff getting wasted.
