So,
now that you are convinced
that Global Warming exists, and we have to do something about it, you
wonder
what you can do. Fact is, everything. Everything
that lowers carbon emissions.
And everyone has to do it. It will have sacrifices,
but they will pay off. -Get smaller cars. Smaller cars have smaller emissions. Besides, they're cheaper. -Make your house more efficient. What the heck, why stop there!!! Make EVERYTHING more efficient! Most likely, your electricity comes from coal, and that is a MAJOR Pollutant. 1) Geothermal heat pump. Your air conditioner is an electricity hog. This isn't. 2) Insulation. If you have an older house, there probably isn't any. 3) High efficiency windows. 4) CFL's (Compact Florescent Lightbulbs). These suckers may be expensive, but they use half the energy of a standard bulb for the same brightness. They also live a lot longer. 5) Solar panels, wind turbines...

Spread the word!!! - Fly less, drive less, train less... Transportation is a biggie for emissions. The less, the better. - Push legislation on carbon tax, cap and trade, etc. A good way to make things happen is to pass laws. - Use your creativity!! Think of more!
