Our Mather Nature is crying......We have to do something....

Did you start yet?......To slow down the "Global Warming"

 

        Global Warming and Climate Change is the biggest environmental threat caused by an overabundance of the heat-trapping gas, carbon dioxide, in the earth's atmosphere.

         Global warming has caused changes in climate worldwide as well as disruptions and dislocations in habitats and wildlife.

 

 we need to take responsibility for the everyday actions that contribute to the problem. 3 things that we all can help slow down global warming and save our planet.

 

1.       Drive an energy-efficient car.  Hybrids, cars that run on both gasoline and electricity. Three hybrid cars: the Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid, and Toyota Prius.

                 It's estimated that Americans use more than 380 million gallons of gas every                 day. According to experts, if everybody bought the most fuel-efficient car                             available, the United States would save approximately 1.47 billion gallons of                     gasoline each year!

 

2.       Buy energy-efficient appliances. Look for the blue Energy Star label or visit www.energystar.gov.

3.    Use energy-saving light bulbs

                 According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), if every American                      household replaced 5 of their current light bulbs with 5 compact fluorescent                      light bulbs, it would save as much energy as if we took 8 million cars of the                      roads.

 

The most important of all is sending a message to Congress and our political leaders that the environment is a topic you care about, and you want to make the transition to the future.

"Global warming doesn't have to get out of control."

Great blog!!!!

And we can help by unplugging the small appliances when we are not using them: microwave, toaster, coffee maker, fans, even the PC, etc.
