HOW TO HELP
~Prevent Global Warming~
1. VOICE YOUR CONCERNS
Speak up. Keeping your concerns about global warming and the safety of polar bears to yourself is useless! Spread the awareness on polar bears and global warming. By speaking up -via social media- shows that you care about the environment.
2. POWER YOUR HOME WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY
Help to conserve energy by choosing a utility company that generates at least half its power from wind or solar and has been certified by Green-e energy. Also, take a look at your electric bill as many utilities now list other ways to support renewable sources on their monthly statements and websites.
3. GET ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES
5. KEEP YOUR TIRES INFLATED
4. REDUCE THE USE OF WATER
Replacing your normal electrical appliances with these energy efficient ones would cut your use of energy by a huge extent. Energy efficiency is the lowest cost way to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide into the air. So, when you are shopping for electrical appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, etc. do buy energy efficient ones.
Why do we need to reduce our water usage you ask? Well, a lot of energy is required to heat, pump and treat the water you use. This causes carbon pollution.Therefore, take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing your teeth and use Water-sense labelled fixtures and appliances instead of normal ones.
Research shows that if all Americans keep their tires inflated, 1.2 billion gallons of gas could be saved each year. A simple change of your air filter can boost miles per gallon by 10 percent!
