With the facts of global warming all over the news, it would be hard to say that you have not heard about it. But as most people understand what global warming is, many do not know what to do about it.
You can do many things to help the environment in your own home. The lighting you use in your home can play a big part in how you contribute. If you simply change all of your lighting to fluorescent lighting you can help make a difference.
You should also unplug your appliances when they are not in use. This may seem silly to most, but all appliances emit carbon when they are plugged in. Unplugging appliances is also a great way to save electricity.
There has never been an easier time to recycle. Many cities offer curbside recycling programs and you simply put your materials in a bin by the curb and a service will come and pick up your recycling for you. If the particular city you live in does not offer this service there are many schools and churches that have bins outdoors to place your materials.
If you are ready to purchase a new car, you might consider an electric or hybrid as your next model. These types of cars are becoming more affordable every day.
Global warming is here to stay and there are many things we can do as consumers to help and slow the process. We owe this to our future generations to provide them a stable place to live.
