Global Warming - How to Help
Just finished watching “An Inconvenient Truth” - wow, amazing how they got the evidence together in a compelling format.Â
HOWEVER, I must say I was terribly disappointed that there was way more emphasis on the science and not so much on how to fix the problem. I went to the website listed at the end of the film (www.climatecrisis.net, 2007), and here are tips from their pages on what you can do to help solve the problem:
AT HOME
- Replace a regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)
- Install a programmable thermostat, and move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer
- Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner
- Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases
- Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket and use less hot water.
- Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible
- Turn off and unplug electronic devices you’re not using
- Only run your dishwasher with a full load and use the energy-saving setting
- Insulate and weatherize your home
- Be sure you’re recycling at home and buy recycled paper products
- Plant a tree
- Get a home energy audit and switch to green power
AT MEALS
- Buy locally grown and produced foods, organic foods, fresh not frozen.Â
- Avoid heavily packaged products.
- Eat less beef.
TRANSPORTATION
- Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling, car sharing, telecommuting, or taking mass transit wherever possible.
- Keep your car tuned up and your tires properly inflated.
- When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle.
- Fly less often.

I’m doing ok I guess. We don’t have A/C and don’t use heat, so that helps. I recycle and carpool, and rarely fly anywhere. - Me

Hi Max! It can be a lot to read all at once, so just pick one thing to do at a time.
For example, replace one ‘regular’ light bulb with a compact bulb (CFL), and you are helping to solve the problem of Global Warming!
