Reduce Global Warming, Live Green!

Reducing the Global Warming: Go Green!

Global Warming can’t be completely solved, but we can reduce it. There are many things that are available for us to do in order to reduce the Global Warming and its effects.

One of the actions that currently became very popular and turned into people’s lifestyle is living green. In general, living green means living in ways that are friendly and save to the environment and to the Earth and it usually do with our everyday activities such as reducing the amount of water used in our house whenever we take a shower, wash dishes, wash clothes, wash the car, and water the plants in the garden. We can do it by using a shower instead of a bath tub when we shower, it’s better if we install an energy efficient showerhead to save even more energy, use the dishes washer instead of wash it manually, use washing machines that save more water, wash the car at the car wash instead of washing it by yourself because the car wash saves water, and try to not only use the water we already use for indoor needs to water the plants but we can use the water from the rain to water them.

There’s also many other ways that we can do to live green and here’s the examples:

1.     Switch all the light bulbs inside your house into a compact fluorescent or bulbs that uses less energy. These bulbs are often called LED (Low- Energy Light bulb).

2.     Lower the temperature of your water heater.

3.     Replace old/ used home appliances into the energy- efficient models.

4.     Have more glasses and ventilation in your home so that there will be more light enters your home and that you don’t need to turn the lights on during the day.

5.    Turn all of your electronic devices (television, radio, phones) and unplug the cables before you’re leaving your home or when you’re about to go to bed.

6.     During winter, instead of turning the heater on to keep you warm and comfortable, try put on extra clothing and a heavy blanket.

7.     Dry your clothes in the sun than dry it on the dryer machine.

8.     Use solar panels that can be placed on the roof of your house to replace some amount of electricity that you usually use for the electricity needs in you house such as for the water heater.

9.     The last thing that you can do is for you to become a vegetarian. By doing this you will not only contribute to save the environment by reducing the amount of gas emissions but you can also gain many health benefits.

Living green does can also be done at your house only, but it can also be done outside from it. Here are some examples of things you can do to keep living green outside your house:

1.     Buy products that its packaging are made of 100% recycled papers or buy products that its packaging’s paper can be recycled.

2.     Change the air filters of your car every moth to reduce your car’s carbon emissions.

3.     Buy organic foods (vegetables) instead of those who use chemicals to grow. Even though the condition of the foods aren’t as good as the chemical ones, the organic ones are sure more healthy for you and for the earth as it doesn’t use any chemicals that are harmful for the earth to grow.

4.     Buy local products to re-stock our daily needs such as vegetables, fish, fruits, and wheat at the local markets. By this, we can help the local farmers and indirectly help to reduce fuel consumption to transfer the products to the bigger markets.

5.     Don’t forget to bring your own shopping bag while you’re shopping instead of the plastic given by the markets.

6.     Choose and buy products that use less material for the packaging.

7.     Make your garden greener by planting more trees in your garden to produce more oxygen.
