Aam aadmi ideas to control global warming

[deepakraam]

Hi,
we often hear or read articles about climate change and global warming.I guess this is the right time to take some action regarding this.Ofcourse,I don't want high funda ideas like reduce industrial waste and country's need to have a check on release of global gases.As an individual, I need ideas what simple citizens (aam aadmi) like me and like you can do to reduce this global warming.

My thought(s)

1.Start planting atleast 1 tree by the side of your house and try to water it everyday.
2.Try to put the trashes only in bin and enforce this principle in your house.

3.Please don't try to burn the waste and if you are seeing your friend(s) doing this please try to stop it.

Pour in your thoughts.

-Deepak.

Ways to Prevent Global Warming
Drive less. Instead take bikes, walk or carpool each time possible.
Prefer investing in a hybrid or electric vehicle so as to avoid further global warming.
Replace the bulbs in and around your home with energy-efficient tubes that require fewer watts for the same amount of light.
Every month, clean or replace filters of your air-conditioners.
Whenever buying new electrical appliances always go for energy-efficient ones.
Decrease your travel by air.
Wash clothes in cold or warm water instead of hot water and prefer line-dry sooner than drier.
Use a low-flow showerhead as it will lessen the hot water used, and will not reduce water pressure in the shower.
Reduce your garbage. Use eco-friendly bags for shopping. Purchase less packaged materials to stop further global warming.
Unplug electronics whenever not in use, as they consume energy in the stand-by mode.
Run the dishwasher and washing machine only when you have a full stack. Use energy-saving appliances, if possible.
Insulate your home properly, and make sure to repair or replace worn out caulking or weather-stripping. Also insulate your water heater.
Recycle your waste to the extent that is possible. Purchase recycled paper and recycled products to prevent further global warming.
When shopping for grocery, take your own reusable canvas bags so that you don’t accumulate more plastic at home.
Plant a tree, whenever possible.
For cleaning, prefer using natural or nontoxic cleaning products.
Prefer fresh food rather than frozen foods. A farmer’s market is the best place to get fresh food.
Get your car serviced and tires pressure checked to save consumption of fuel.
Include less meat and more organic foods in your diet to prevent global warming.
