IF YOU NEED THIS AN ORIGINAL COPY OF THIS VIDEO FOR A PROJECT OR ANOTHER METHOD OF FURTHERING THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING SEND ME A REQUEST WITH A MESSAGE ON YOUTUBE THAT TELLS ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT I CAN SEND IT TO, AND YOUR REASON.
It's hot, and only getting hotter, the wildest event that never stops partying until we make a change. The Earth as an ecosystem is changing, attributable in great part to the effects of globalization and man. More carbon dioxide is now in the atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. Th
is carbon stays in the atmosphere, acts like a warm blanket, and holds in the heat — hence the name 'global warming.' All 10 of the hottest years on record, globally, have occurred in the last 15 years. It's real, it's happening, now the question is, What will you do?
SOLUTIONS
1. TURN OFF ELECT
RONIC DEVICES Simply turning off your TV, DVD Player, or computer, or even a light that you keep on when you're not using them and unplugging your iPods, cell phones and other portables when they're done charging will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
2. PLANT A TREE one single
tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide in its lifetime. I'm not telling you to go to the nearest Home Depot, buying a tree and sticking it in your back yard, you could always pay an organization to do so.
3. ADJUST YOUR THERMOSTAT (how hard is that?) Just press a button twice to turn the temper
ature down two degrees in winter and up 2 in summer and you will save 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
4. DRIVE LESS who doesn't want to drive to places? Why take the time to walk when the rest of the world is still getting to their destinations 60x faster than you? You don't have to! Arrang
e a carpool, take the metro, just think of it this way, you'll be saving gas money too
5. RECYCLE It's the age-old slogan isn't it? Recycle paper it'll save the world, recycle your bottles, yada yada yada, well perhaps they always say it because it's true! If you recycle half of your household wast
e, you can save 2400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year! Next time you're shooting for the trash can, shift your aim a little, and place it in the blue bin, where the materials will be turned into something else that you can use
That's not so hard is it? All your doing is taking about 5 seconds out
of your day to turn off your TV or donating a fragment of money to plant a tree, that does make a difference, I know I've sat on the other side thinking, "yeah right..." but just try it! You'll like the satisfaction.
