Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming

Global Warming is a dramatically urgent and serious problem. We

don't need to wait for governments to find a solution for this

problem: each individual can bring an important help adopting a

more responsible lifestyle: starting from little, everyday things. It's

the only reasonable way to save our planet, before it is too late.

Here is a list of 50 simple things that everyone can do in order to

fight against and reduce the Global Warming phenomenon: some

of these ideas are at no cost, some other require a little effort or

investment but can help you save a lot of money, in the middlelong

term!

1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb

(cfl)

CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300

pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

2. Install a programmable thermostat

Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at

night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you $100 a year on your

energy bill.

3. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer

Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You

could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple

adjustment.

4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner

Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

5. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases

Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most energy

efficient products available.

6. Do not leave appliances on standby

Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3

hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby

mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.

7. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket

You’ll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. You can

save another 550 pounds per year by setting the thermostat no higher than 50°C.

8. Move your fridge and freezer

Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they

were standing on their own. For example, if you put them in a hot cellar room

where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is almost double and causes an

extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges per year and 320kg for freezers.

9. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly

Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic

defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their

predecessors.

10. Don't let heat escape from your house over a long period

When airing your house, open the windows for only a few minutes. If you leave a

small opening all day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during six

cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in almost 1 ton of CO2

emissions.
