I was reading an article in a webpage. I found it quite interesting. It was about what an individual can do in 30 minutes to reduce global warming. Drive less, Drive smart Driving emits a huge amount of greenhouse gases. So either walk, ride a bicycle or use public vehicle. In 30 minutes, people can travel a great distance. If you need to drive your own vehicle then spare some minutes to check your engines and tyres. Eat your vegetables Growing vegetables is much more easier than growing animals. So instead of slaughtering animals, one can switch into a vegan diet in order to decrease his/her own carbon footprint. Raising animals need more energy and resources and will contribute to global warming. So eating vegetables will help the environment. Switch to reusable shopping bags Do not use plastic bags rather switch into reusable bags. Plastic bags effects the environment but reusable bags don't. Plastic bags clogs water-pipeline, kills many animals and degrades soil quality too. Reusable shopping bags are easier to carry and attractive too. Switch your bulbs Change your ordinary bulbs(if you have any) to CFL and LED as they are cheap and last 10 times more than ordinary bulbs. CFL Bulbs also produce lesser heat than ordinary bulbs. Pay your bills online Instead of running to an office to pay the bill, pay your bills online. In this way, you will reduce emission that could have been caused by your traveling to and from the office. Paying bills online will help you reduce deforestation as less paper will be used. |
