We all wish to live a happy and prosperous life. For this, we do our bit like working hard to increase bank balance and partying even harder to enjoy life. But, what are we doing for our mother planet Earth. Practically nothing!! It`s time now to care for our environment and make it worth living for years to come.
Global warming is one of the most burning issues today. It is not a new term for anyone of us. In simple words, global warming means increase in average air and ocean`s temperature of Earth that poses dangerous impact on environment. Reports indicate that temperature of Earth.s surface has risen by .4 degrees Celsius in last 25 year. Reasons for this are burning of fossil fuels that emit gases, forest fire etc. But one of the main reasons for this is Human being. We are posing a great threat to our earth without even thinking twice about it. It is worse than destructing our own house with own hands.
Let`s wake up and do our bit in reducing Global Warming. Whether we call it a New Year resolution or need of the hour, following points should be our top priority:
Choose biking instead of Driving: Increasing pollution is hampering environment and our health as well. So let us choose biking instead of driving, making it a part of New Year resolution that would lead to decrease in smoke and make you fit as well.
Do not leave appliances on standby Leaving appliances on standby mode more than the time it is actually used consumes more energy. So always make it a point to use the `on/off function on machine itself. Quite surprising fact is that a TV set that`s switched on for 3 hours a day and in standby mode for remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode. So save energy and heat leading to decrease in Global warming.
Use energy efficient products Energy efficient bulbs and appliances not only save money, but also help in reducing consumption of electricity. By picking appliances with Energy Star label, we can save a lot of energy. Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs which are safe for environment and will cut down electricity bill as well.
Recycle We should try to recycle and reuse everything that we can. Buying reusable containers instead of using one-time storage containers is best. We all use batteries whether it is in toys or phone. So use rechargeable batteries instead of non-rechargeable that does not contain toxins and do not add in warming the environment.
Plant trees and Say No to Deforestation It`s a well known fact that trees help in maintaining balance of environment. A single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide, the major cause of Global Warming, over its lifetime. Cutting down of trees by us, at large scale has imbalanced flora and fauna. So go for afforestation.
Pick best thing out of digitized life We all have become digital with the increase in popularity of Internet. Today we all spend most of our time in front of our laptop. By using ways like e mail, online shopping, consumption of paper that may be in form of a letter or printable coupon can be minimized.
Use water efficiently Saving water, especially hot water, helps in lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Look for products with EPA`s Water Sense label as these products save water and are better than their counterparts.
Make it an agenda to do your best in reducing Global Warming. It.s true that one individual person can`t stop global warming but if we all join hands then this agenda can be definitely achieved. Each individual can bring an important help by adopting a more responsible lifestyle. So start your fight against Global Warming today. We will definitely save our planet.
