These days, Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
By using the energy wisely, you can save the world and reduce the global warming rate. Here are tips on how you can help reducing global warming rate:
1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle : You can reduce your waste by using the reusable stuffs. Try to recycle papers, plastic, newspaper, glass, aluminum cans. Not only doing this can save your money and your house space, but it can also save the whole planet.
Tips: Recycle your plastic bag at the store. You can carry your plastic bag to the store and use it again. Also, if it is possible, you can carry things home with the basket or paper bag, so that you don't need to use the plastic bag.
2. Use Less Air-Conditioner : You can turn off the air-conditioner when the room is not occupied. The best deal is to keep the window and door closed. By then, the temperature in the room will remain stable for a period of time. Also, at night, when you sleep, you can use the sleep-timer function.
You can also open the windows during your day time. Not only can you get the light in the room, you can also get more fresh air.
3. Change the Light Bulbs : Whenever you can, try to replace your light bulbs with the compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Using this kind of bulb, you can save more energy, and money. It consumes less energy than the regular bulb. Moreover, it has longer life-time than the regular bulb. It also give off less heat than the regular bulb.
In my places (bedroom, desk...), I use this kind of bulb. With my experience, I think it is a very good way to use this bulb. It is convenient, cheap, and bright.
4. Drive Less and Smart : Try to reduce your driving on motor bike and car. You can walk or ride bike instead. Reduce car using can reduce the CO2 emission and your expense. Also, walking and bicycling are very good forms of exercise.
When you drive, you should drive smart. As an example, you can ensure that you tire is properly inflated. Doing so can reduce the gasoline consumption by more than 3 percent. Also, check to ensure that your engine is working well. Change the engine oil when it is very old.
5. Buy Energy-Efficient Products : When it is time to buy new vehicle, check out the one with the good gas mileage (gasoline consumption per distance). I also recommend you to buy the electrical appliances that came with the energy-saving option. Like your Laptop, Computer, Air-Conditioner..,you can switch to the energy-saving mode when you don't need it in the first priority.
Tip : If you can, buy the hybrid vehicles. This type of vehicle consumes little gasoline. Some of this type use some other alternative energy source like : solar power, battery-based...
6. Use the "Switch-Off" Mode : When you leave your room, you can turn off you light. Turn off the television, radio, computer, game console when you don't use them. DON'T PUT IT IN STAND BY MODE, BUT TURN IT OFF.
In my house, there is a television remote controller which its power button is broken down. It is good then because people can't put the television into the stand by, they have to get up and turn it completely off.
7. Plant Trees, Love the Green : Plant more tree in your community. Grow and protect them. You should have known that the green leaves do absorb the CO2 and give back the Oxygen. So Why don't you love the tree? It can also give the shade from the sunlight. In my opinion, I don't really support using the wood furniture. It is waste of trees, not important, expensive. You know, a tree can approximately absorb one ton of CO2 during its life time.
8. Tell the Others : Why not? It is our planet. You can tell your friends, your family, and people in your community. What to tell? You can tell them that they should use energy wisely, and save energy. Tell them how they can do save this planet by just doing the "3-re" (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle). Recommend them to changer their light bulb...Lots more.
After you have read this, I hope you can, at least, understand about what we should try to do. Also, I wanna see our next generations can exist longer.
Thanks
