Global warming is the "IN" thing at the moment. I can actually feel the sudden climate change recently. It's so freaking hot every night and I told myself not to switch on the air-cond as it will make things worse. Anyways I just read one article about global warming and I decided to share this to you peeps out there. Here are some of the tips to save our Mother Nature and mankind.
Change a light
Replacing one regular light bulb with an energy saving light bulb will save 67.5kg of carbon dioxide a year.
Drive less
Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often
Recycle more
You can save 1,080kg of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste
Pump up your tyres
Keeping your car tyres inflated properly can improve petrol mileage by more than 3%. Every 4.4 litres of petrol saved keeps 9kg 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.
Avoid products with packaging
You can save 540kg if you cut down on your garbage by 10%
Adjust your air-con
Moving the thermostat just 2 degrees can save about 900kg of carbon dioxide a year
Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb over a 1,000kg of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
Turn off electronic devices
Switching off your TV, DVD player, hi-fi set and COMPUTER when you are not using them will save you thousands of kilogrammes of carbon dioxide a year.
