15 Very Significant Things to Do about Global Warming, at all levels.



1. Learn about global warming -- start with this Web site and check out the facts.

2. Sell the big truck and opt for cleaner, more efficient vehicles. Reduce your driving: one gallon of gas burned produces 20 pounds of CO2. Fuel up on ethanol and biodiesel instead.

3. Use energy efficient appliances, replace regular light bulbs with low energy fluorescents, upgrade your home insulation. Buy renewable energy, like wind and solar, from your power company.

5. Companies: the one you work for and the ones you buy from, can save lots of money and lower global warming by taking similar steps toward energy efficiency.

6. Shop Smart: Look for products manufactured from recycled materials, created with renewable energy, and which help you save money and minimize pollution.

7. Use your vote and influence as a citizen to elect responsible leaders; help them organize the neighborhood and town for energy improvement.

8. Suburban sprawl produces much of the global warming pollution; plan for walkable communities, lots of trees, open spaces, and public transportation in and between cities.

10. Build new homes and buildings for energy saving, reflective roofing and solar power.

11. Support sustainable farming and forestry, including new crops to make into ethanol and other biofuels.

12. Let the corporations who design our cars, fuels, goods and power know you want their products to be as ecologically friendly as possible.

13. At all government levels, subscribe to an efficient energy policy, moving away from high carbon fossil fuels.

14. Export new energy technology that uses renewable energy sources to help the rest of the world.

15. Start doing these things today.
