What can you do?

Many people think that they can't do anything about global warming, but there are many things you can do in your daily life to help out the Earth!
Here are just a few:

1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. By purchasing products that are reusable, you can help reduce waste. Another way to reduce our waste is to recycle. By recycling plastics, paper, and other scraps, you can reduce our carbon dioxide emissions.
2. If you use heating and air conditioning in your house, you can use it less. You can do so by either leaving it off more often or by lowering the heat in your house a few degrees or by increasing the temperature of your air conditioning a few degrees. Also, you can turn it off when you're not home. This will help with those bills as well!
3. Use more CFL lightbulbs!
4. Drive less and carpool more
5. Choose to purchase energy efficient products, such as a car with good gas mileage.
6. Use less hot water
7. Turn off your lights when you're not in the room or you're not using them
8. PLANT A TREE!
9. Get a report card from your utility company. This will help you be aware of just how much energy you are consuming.
10. After you have done all this (or at least tried a little bit) encourage others! The more people who are doing some or all of this, the more we, as a planet, are helping.

Basically, we humans need to conserve more energy. If the incentive of helping out our planet is not good enough for you, think about your bills! Conserving energy will also decrease how much you are paying for bills. Most of these are simple daily tasks that won't be too hard to do. Please take some initiative and prevent some disastrous events.
