3 Great Ways To Help Reduce Global Warming

Global warming is a reality. If you don’t believe it yet then there are plenty of documentaries, data and statistics about melting giant ice in the polar ice cap you can check out and you’ll be shocked by what you find. One of the biggest problems facing the fight against global warming is not government policies it’s the mentality and attitude most people express towards the issue. Many people point accusing fingers at big corporations and industries, blaming them for the problem while failing to understand how we as individuals contribute to the problem. If you want this planet to be useful for the coming generations, here are the 3 best ways for you to go about it saving it.

Solar energy

global warming causes
An incredibly large percentage of the gases that cause global warming are released by companies trying to generate much needed electricity.  Of course electricity is essential but the negative effect of generating it the old way can lead to serious problems that the world will soon not be able to handle. One of the ways an individual can help cut down on the adding to the dangerous gases from coal and nuclear power plants is to switch to solar energy.
This is the type of energy that is generated when you make use of solar panels that convert the energy from the sun into electricity. Solar energy is clean, cheap and does not produce even a single molecule of earth-killing gas. Solar energy is easy to install and maintain and you will be able to save plenty of money from a reduced or completely eliminated electricity bill. There are different types of solar energy systems including one that generates electric power that is stored in batteries and one that helps to heat up water. 

Recycle

With the introduction of modern recycling methods and techniques it is now possible for just about anyone to take part in recycling. Recycling mainly involves the manufacturing of new products using the old or used ones, and that makes a lot of sense. Why cut down a new tree to make tissue paper when you can collect used paper, add certain ingredients to produce new, high quality tissue paper?
To take part in recycling you will need to understand a bit about how it works and how it should be done. Once you understand how to create a recycling program in your home or office then you can begin and you can also educate others. Recycling helps reduce global warming because it will help reduce your consumption of newly manufactured products. It also cuts down on your waste and saves you plenty of money.

Reuse

Who says you can’t wrap gifts in old newspapers and magazine instead of buying non-biodegradable gift wrappers? When you do this you are not only reusing but saving yourself some extra cash. Just like recycling, reusing helps reduce global warming because it cuts down on you’re the amount of products and materials you use. The more you buy stuff, especially chemical based materials, the more you contribute to global warming.
Apart from paper there are so many other things you can reuse in the home. Give away toys, clothing and shoes to charities or other children or people instead of dumping them in the trash. Motor oil can be cleaned and reused and some of that organic kitchen waste can be used to replenish your garden soil or reprocessed for pet or animal foods. The best way to know if you’re truly doing well with your reusability plan is to check how much lighter your bin is getting.
