Global warming and what we can do.

Global warming is here. It's real and and it's affecting our mother nature adversely. Researchers have started seeing migration of fishes which are moving from equator to more cooler waters. Fishing industry around warmer waters will dwindle, fishing industry around cool water is growing however time will tell if the migrated fishes can survive longer or adapt themselves to the changing environment. The least we can do to save this planet in our small ways whenever possible is as follows:

1) REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE.

2) Use Less Heat and Air Conditioning

3) Change the light bulbs: replace regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs

4) Drive less, drive smart: walk or take public transit whenever possible, keep tires inflated well, buy fuel efficient cars.

5) Buy energy efficient appliances only

6) switch 'off ' and electrical device when not in use.

7) use less hot water for showers/Baths

8) Plant trees

9) Encourage others to conserve.

10) Choose vegetarian/ vegan meals: Livestock are responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than transportation is. This is due to the large amounts of petroleum used in creating ammonium nitrate fertilizer (for the corn that they are fed) plus the cost of shipping that corn to the cattle and then shipping the cattle to slaughter and grocery. Choosing vegetarian foods also drastically reduces agricultural water consumption and land use, and favorably impacts biodiversity

11) Reduce use of paper products.

12) Buy locally made and locally grown products

13) Unplug unused electronics.

14) run dishwasher only when full,

15) Take responsibility for your office's energy use. Many offices leave air conditioners, computers and lights running all night. Work with responsible parties in your company to turn off these devices or use power-saving features when possible.

16) Try to use more tap water and less bottled water.Doing so will reduce the energy costs of bottling and transporting water.
