Ten Things to Do
To Help Stop Global Warming
(as suggested by www.climatecrisis.net)
Change a light.
Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light will save 150 pounds of
carbon dioxide per year.
Drive less.
Walk, bike, carpool, or take metro transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon
dioxide for every mile you don’t drive.
Recycle more.
You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your
household waste.
Check your tires.
Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every
gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!
Use less hot water.
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low-flow
showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in
cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year).
Avoid products with a lot of packaging.
You can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
Adjust your thermostat.
Moving your thermostat down just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer could
save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
Plant a tree.
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
Turn off electronic devices.
Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo, and computer when you’re not
using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
Be a part of the solution.
