Our world is being polluted everyday; from cars, to factory emissions, we our slowly ruining our earth and it’s one hundred percent our fault. We our turning our world in to a land of pollutants and we are slowly discovering the consequences to our actions. Some of these problems include global warming. Global warming has caused our climate to change and has made the average temperature go up year after year; along with the other many effects of global warming.
I am not going to talk about the effects, but the many things we can do to prevent global warming. There are many environmental ways to produce energy such as solar panels, energy producing windmills which have become popular in windy areas such as along the sides of lakes and oceans. There are also nuclear power plants and hydro plants such as Niagara Falls.
Now these solutions are on a much bigger scale, and there is not much your average person can so about them. This in my opinion is more of a governmental issue, and does not mean that we all can’t do our part. There are many things that you can do to help prevent global warming. By turning off the lights when you walk out of a room, you can carpool to work or take the bus, which will save you a lot of money anyway with today’s gas prices. As a family you can replace old incandescent light bulbs to the new fluorescent ones. This can also lower your energy bill and they also last longer than your normal light bulb. You should start changing the temperature of your house to a lower temperature in the winter and higher in the summer. Get new energy efficient appliances, plant a tree, make only one trip to the store not five.
There are so many things we can all do to chip in and do our part. A lot of times when you do this you end up saving money in the long run; which in today’s world, this is what we all need.
