Petrone, Maurizio. (2009, February 5). Top 50 Things to do to Stop Global Warming. Retrieved on April 8 from: http://globalwarming-facts.info/50-tips.html.
Many of us see commercials about going green or hear about going green and how important it is. Most of these ideas do not require a lot of money, in fact, they help you save money. All it takes is for you to put some effort into it; IT IS WORTH IT. This person had a good point when he said, "We don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things." Here are just a few things from his list, that to me seem like the easiest:
1) Of course, my favorite, Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl).
--GO SWIRLY
2)Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer. (How easy is that?!)
--Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling.
You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple
adjustment.
3)Take showers instead of baths.
--Most people do take showers way more than baths but just for those of you who do
take baths more often, think about how much energy you are wasting.
4)Buy fresh food instead of frozen
--Frozen food takes 10 times more energy than fresh.
Like I said in my previous blogs, there is always a substitute and it is usually
better for you!!!
