Global warming is an enormous problem caused by us humans and affecting us and wildlife. But, there are a many ways you can help prevent it.
1: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle as much as you can! Doing this, you will make less piles of trash in your house.
2: Use less heat or air conditioning. If you put on the heat or air conditioner ALL the time, it will heat up the earth, causing the icebergs to melt faster.
3: Change your light bulbs to Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs. Even if it’s more expensive than the regular bulb, this one can help you save $30 from energy consumer bills; they use 2/3 less energy, and last up to 10 times longer. Furthermore, these light bulbs make 70% LESS heat, which helps the environment A LOT. And, for a bonus, these are recyclable!
4: Use your car less. What I mean is, instead of riding in your dad’s or mom’s car all day, try NOT using your car. If you and your friend are going to the same place, why not carpool? That way, you and your friend can arrive at the same time AND you’re helping the earth. Or, if you live close to your school, you can ride your bike or walk there. This form of exercise keeps your body and the earth happy.
5: Remember the “OFF” switch. When you aren’t watching the T.V., turn it off! When you aren’t in a room, turn the light off! Most of the time, we act like the OFF switch is invisible and we become energy hogs. But, that’s okay, because you can change your ways and remember to turn things off. This will save energy and cause fewer blackouts. Also, try to turn off the water while you’re not using it. This can lower your water bill.
6: There are never too many trees. I agree with myself. Trees are very resourceful. Every year, we cut down so many trees. Why not make a difference by planting LOTS of trees! Wherever you can!
7: Use reusable items. This will produce less junk. For example, instead of using a paper bag as your lunch box, why not get a reusable lunch box? Also, instead of a plastic water bottle, how about a reusable one?
8: Buy recycled paper. Doing this will save the amount of trees we humans chop down ever year!
9: Don’t think you have all the resources in the world. Draw or write on both sides of a paper. When using a tissue, use it until there is completely no more room. Be careful about how you use your resources.
10: Encourage others. Get your friends to help you do these things. Your uncles, aunts, cousins, teachers, SOMEONE! Remember, even a something little can make a big difference.
