Help Stop Global Warming with Three R’s
As our know, Global Warming in today has became to hot headline. We found many place on several country got problem with the climate crisis. e.g. Flood , Tsunami , Earthquake etc.
Climate change caused is really came from human. Fortunately, there are proven energy solutions we can put to use today to provide sustainable development and energy for all. The energy transformation occur rapidly enough to avert the worst effects of a warming world. To prevent climate change we need a revolution in energy policy and an evolution in the way we all use energy.
If you remember Three R’s when you learned in in elementary school, we can apply it to help preventing climate change crisis.
1. REDUCE
Reduce your consumption! Don’t use plastic silverware, don’t use paper or foam cups and plates, don’t buy foods in single-serving packages, don’t drive when you can easily bike or walk to your destination and carpool or take public transportation when you can’t , turn down your hot water heater to 98 degrees, shower every other day, use cloth diapers, use rags instead of paper towels, turn down the heat or the air conditioner when you’re not home, switch to energy efficient light bulbs, turn off lights and appliances when you’re not using them, use natural light during the day, you get the idea.
2. REUSE
Use a cloth bag or basket to carry your groceries in, donate used clothing and appliances to charity instead of throwing them away, save Popsicle sticks, paper bags, pipe cleaners, wrapping paper, and anything else that you think could be used for kids’ crafts (a lot of times Head Start and other preschools/day cares have lists of needed things like this available to the public!), wash and reuse plastic and glass containers, think creatively about “trash” and find things to do with it. Ever see those purses made out of plastic grocery bags? Same concept
3. RECYCLE
Take the time to learn about and follow your community’s recycling guidelines, return aluminum cans and plastic bottles to the store, use food waste to make your own organic compost, buy products made from recycled goods, teach your children and educate your community about what can be recycled. Things like batteries are actually recyclable, but not many communities are on board with this kind of program; push for yours to get on board
Although Three R’s is provided for save environment to green zone, it don’t fit for preventing climate change. But i think climate problem directly relate to environment problem. If we can save environment and decrease using energy, we are saving climate change and helping global warming in same time.
Today,what you can do to help stop global warming?
