10 things to do to save the planet
Some ideas to do to stop global warming

 

Want to do something to help stop global warming? Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you'll save doing them.

 





 

1. Change a light

Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

 

2. Drive less

Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You'll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don't drive!

 

3. Recycle more

You can save 2.400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.

Take Action!

 

Our world is sometimes referred to as the global village and this implies we are global citizens. However, we in the rich world are fortunate enough to have choice while many people in poorer countries often have none. Your lifestyle and actions matter. Each of us needs to be open to learn about what is meant by poverty, injustice, globalization and development. We need to be committed and willing to act upon our understanding. Understanding without action is empty. Joining with others who share your concern will give you a chance to learn, talk, take action.
