What 10 Things To Do To Reduce Global Warming?

Earth Day was on 22 April 2007 and I thought it is a good time to think about global warming. As Christians, we should endeavour as much as possible to do as much as we can to save the Earth, for "the earth is the Lord's and everything in it".

The following are my reflections based on an article by Larry West, which you can read the full text here

Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to global warming.

10 simple actions to take to help reduce global warming:

1) Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
By recycling household waste, you can save pounds of carbon dioxide.

2) Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning
Reducing the amount of energy needed to cool the house in Malaysia save carbon dioxide.

3) Change a Light Bulb
Replace regular light bulbs with compact florescent light (CFL) bulbs.

4) Drive Less and Drive Smart
Less driving means fewer emissions and fewer carbon dioxide.

5) Buy Energy-Efficient Products
Things using far less energy can save pounds of carbon dioxide.

6) Use Less Hot Water
Less use of hot water minimizes the energy required to produce it.

7) Use the "Off" Switch
Save electricity and reduce global warming by turning off lights whenever possible.

8) Plant a Tree
During photosynthesis, trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. More trees more absorption of carbon dioxide.

9) Get a Report Card from Your Utility Company
".. free home energy audits to help consumers identify areas in their homes that may not be energy efficient."...Ehh, I don't know whether TNB does provide this ...

10) Encourage Others to Conserve
Hey, that's what I am doing...
