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.
-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... Wind info:

- Tell People. As I said earlier, EVERYONE,
and I mean EVERYONE,
has to pitch in. 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.
