Ten Things to do

Want to do something to help stop global warming? Here are 10 simple things you can do and how much carbon dioxide you will save doing them.

1. Change a light
Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds(68 kgs) of carbon dioxide a year.
2. Drive less
Walk bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You’ll save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive!
3. Recycle more
You can save 2,400 pounds (1090 kgs ) of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.

4. Check your tires
Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%.
Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds (68 kgs )of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!
5. 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 [159 kgs]of C02 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds [227 kgs] saved per year).
6. Avoid products with a lot of packaging
You can save 1,200 pounds (54545 kgs)of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
7. Adjust your thermostat
Moving your thermostat just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer.
You could save about 2.000 pounds (909 kgs )of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment.
8. Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
9. Turn off electronic devices
Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them will save you thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
10. Talk to your friends about global warming
Global warming is an important environmental matter that deserves to be talked about in social and professional settings alike.
