Global Warming .. Be part of the solution

I read many articles about global warming, and most of them warning us of how serious this environmental issue is .. I don't want to write about the problem itself as I assume most of us are aware of it .. I rather sharing with you few things that we as individuals can do to delay its future impact:



1. Next time when you choose to buy a car choose one with a better fuel economy, that would save money and emit less carbon dioxide.

2. When you buy any item like freezers or water heater look for the star label.

3. Unplug any extra device you rarely use. Also you can replace the regular light bulb with an energy-saving .

4. Plant a tree near to your house and in any possible place.



Of course, in order to make a greater difference everyone should participate in that .. thumbs up

@particolor, laugh oh! it is so good to see you here bouquet
We are all responsible for this mess so I guess it is our duty to care for our mother nature now so our next generation to come can enjoy what we are enjoying right now......

Replacing cars with the use of bicycles is not a bad idea at all.......(unless we have to travel a far distance, then we can use our cars)dunno hug
African,

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing I love the way you say it..."Not in Kuwait", well definitely not in Indonesia either cos it is very hot too so I still need my aircondition car when I travel around. Now how could we solve the problem then???confused doh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
You lot obviously dont live 30 miles out of town.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing bouquet
Partic,

Why not help solve the problem by campaigning to use bicycles in Australia during the summers....cool
And we've probably got more motorcycles here than in Australia - another good contribution to the global warming problem...doh
if people would stop flying around in jet airoplanes then the global warming would slow down

virgo...Didnt you and I have that discussion once before, when I said how many poluting aircraft there were in the air at any one time globaly.It was staggering,THOUSANDS!!!Make them walk.doh beer

Glue feathers on em.rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing cheers
Hey guys, I can't swim to Australia for my upcoming holidays. The sharks would get to me first. I still need to fly using one of those highly sophisticated machines that blows off its polluting gases into space....sigh doh confused
AAAHHHH!!!!COUGH!! COUGH!! COUGH!!! wow bouquet
the planes destroy the ozone layer and lets in more and more harmfull UV radiation from the sun ,and soon all the plants and trees will die and the planet will turn into a unliveable desert with no water to drink ,and everone will die

Virgo,

I guess this is where Bio diesel can come in handy as an alternative to petroleum. It is nontoxic...

Partic,

You cheeky man. That was one reason why we would have been so sad had you left this site cos you always brighten everybody's day with you funny and cheeky comments....laugh thumbs up teddybear
As he took another deep breath of PLOOSHUN !!help beer
A switch to electric cars. applause
I got it. A program to reduce the earth population to around
1 bill or less. In y1900 about the time my grandmother was born that was the number.

Wonder why that is never mentioned as it would solve many problems.
Morg. Eccelent idea! If everybody join CS, and only meet here, there will be no more children, and problem solved!thumbs up grin cheers
I try to do my best to help and do some of those things.
In Michigan it is cold here more than warm so you would never know there was any global warming threat though..laugh
Yea! I heard some have been here for years and thay seems proud to help the enviroment! Wanna be one of them helpful people balto? grin
So i guess the slogan will be:

"Do like the sceptical oldtimers, dont fly unless u have to
and help save the earth!"

Global warming is a very discussionable topic. There are many scientific proofs that it doesn't exist. The global temperature ballance of the Earth is all the same. For example this year we re having a quite cold springtime here in Bulgaria, I don't remember such for all the 43 years of my life. confused
laugh Morg & Baltus..ya i think the world population is going to be declining with so many people who are scared of marriage.
lol..not laughing at you, im laughing with you about the comments..laugh thumbs up
Hi Swiss wave lips
wave Hi Morg..bouquet
Well, a litle tought. Even if cars may be a big problem, I saw a note in VG (newspaper) not long ago. A dog of the sice of a labrador, ore like mine, a Jemtdog, creates more CO2 than a SUV, driving 12000 a year. (they had been looking at the whole sirculation, food etc.) But I`ll keep my dog anyway! cool
Global warming does not exist sad flower
Yea, up here we have problems with global cooling aswell Swiss laugh
Any solutions? Maybe fly more? cheering
laugh ya Morg over here in Michigan it has been kind of a cold spring..You guys are having that too over in Norway?
Well i believed in Al Gore a few days bet then unfortunatly it got colder again crying
. Next time when you choose to buy a car choose one with a better fuel economy, that would save money and emit less carbon dioxide.

better,,if I use bicycle.. ,,,no need for fuel..:)

bouquet teddybear
if you buy a house 5 minutes walk from the nearest shop , that woud be better


and if you move to a warmer climate , think of how much you would save from not having heat your home in winter


banana

@ bal , Ibzza sounds like a fun place


banana
No Iceland is cold too... lol
Yea i have that shop 5min walk away, ok i think its 7.
Actally its open 7 to 23, but its called KIWI.

Do i drive there sometimes? Guess! innocent

I really gotta buy that bicycle i've been thinking of some years now! Good for my inner environment too.
@virgosingle .. I never thought that planes alone could have such effect on the ozone layer!

@JimNastics .. electric cars are really expensive confused

@morgenuly .. >> reduce the population! I guess this is hard at this point (I am planning to have 10 children) laugh

@Swissblueeyes .. Many studies say that the coastal areas will be flooded and hence the size of land areas will be shrinked ..

@Jana28 .. Yeah some say it is not true, but if it was true and we didn't try to do anything then it will be too late .. there are many things can be done that will not only save us money but also may be reasons to stop this problem from aggravating ..

@woopee jonny .. Thanks for mentioning the plastic bags!

@tatami .. I have always admired the Japanese culture they are very concerned when it comes to environmental issues, and they do a great job in educating kids about the importance of recycling .. Hope things will get better there sad flower

@baltus67 .. WOW!! that is shocking!!

@zahra450 .. I wish I could use bicycle in Kuwait >> I would melt if I even tried lol grin
If this is global warming I can hardly wait for winter.doh AAH WELL!! Back to my Igloo.help cheers
