HELP ME HELP YOU

The greatest thing about helping me out is that you will also reap the rewards. The most obvious being that I will be around for your children and your children's children but also that you will have extra cash in your pocket, and maybe be a little healthier too!

***TRY USING alternative modes of transportation such as public transportation, carpooling, biking or walk if it's within reasonable distance.

***BUY COMPACT FLORESCENT BULBS. Simply changing 1 or 2 (or all if you really want to be my friend) frequently used bulbs will not only save money on your electric bill but would drastically reduce the amount of pollution put out from power plants.

***RECYCLE – Reducing the amount of waste you produce is a huge step in helping out. Most everything is recyclable, visit www.local.com to find a recycling center near you.

***REALLY THINK before you buy your next car. This is a larger step but an important one. Many car companies are making it easier to buy more fuel efficient, hybrid or electric cars, but still there are many who haven’t jumped on board yet. Be a responsible consumer. Buying a more fuel efficient vehicle means money in your pocket and less CO2 output for me!

***ADJUST THERMOSTATS. Turn your heat down 2 degrees in the winter and up 2 degrees in the summer. How much will 2 degrees really affect you? Again - money in your pocket and less CO2 for me.

***PLANT A TREE. Trees absorb CO2. What the heck plant a whole bunch of them!

***BUY POWER STRIPS to plug in items you don’t need while you’re out (chargers, TV’s, lamps, etc.) Even though they may not be “ON” they are still using up electricity. Simply flip the switch off when you leave. AND turn off lights when you leave a room.

***BE AWARE. Global Warming is not up for debate – it is fact! It does not matter who you are or where you live, how much money you have or the color of your skin. This is not about politics or war, love or hate. You cannot escape this crisis, and you should not sit back and watch. ACT NOW, the smallest changes make the biggest differences. Don’t be silent, share the knowledge with your friends and family. There isn’t a soul on earth that will not be affected by this, don’t leave this problem for you children, IT WILL BE TOO LATE!

What is Global Warming

The atmosphere is made up of gasses that trap heat from the sun making life on me possible.  I absorb some solar radiation while some is reflected back into space.  The problem is that ...
