Global Warming
What Can I Do About It?
We all know that global warming is going to be a huge issue for future generations. What can we do about it now? I plan on tackling environmental issues more in the future when I get more help and support from people like you, but for now here’s a few things you can do to help.
1. Recycle
Here’s the one thing everybody needs to do and have been told they need to do, yet a lot of people still aren’t doing. I only started recycling my plastics a few months ago! A friend of mine has a plastic chest of drawers that he divides his recycling into. I haven’t gotten as far as he has into the recycling, but try to start doing what I’m doing and recycle those orange juice, milk, and other plastic containers that you are just throwing into the earth right now.
2. Buy energy efficient appliances and vehicles
One passive way to help reduce your energy usage, if you can afford to of course, is to buy energy efficient appliances. I purchased an energy efficient washer and dryer and I’m using less energy and the units will pay for themselves after a few years. I also purchased a hybrid car and am getting about 45 miles/gallon right now which is pretty nice considering the cost of fuel. You’ll be helping the environment and saving money. That seems like a no-brainer to me.
3. Bring awareness to your family and friends
Here’s a tricky one. How do you get someone to change a habit without making them think that you think you are “holier than thou?” What I advise is that you don’t try to get them to change, just make them aware of what you’re doing to make the world a better place to live for future generations! If they see what you’re doing, and maybe you can slip in a mention of how easy it is, they will want to follow your lead. They will NEVER change because you tell them the way they’re doing it is wrong and they are killing the environment. Just nonchalantly mention some of the things you’re doing to help the environment and hopefully they will follow your lead or ask how they can help you some day.
That’s just three things you can do with little effort. If you have ideas of what I can do with this website in order to bring awareness or make changes, or if you would like to help in any capacity with this website or in making positive changes, please submit your ideas here.
