Global Warning
People think that Global Warming is just in the atmosphere. and, it is. But my mother says that there should be a Global Warning about my room. hehehaha. oh well. here are some tips:
- Get new, the latest appliances, for instance refrigerators. You save money, though you do have to buy it, and it reduces your CO2 emissions by 500 pounds a year. Wow!! If you're a kids, then urge your parents to buy one of these refrigerators and etc. for when they buy their next appliance!!!
- Reduce and Recycle!!!! if you use less items, and recycle more. You can recycle alot!!! Recycle aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic, cardboard and newspapers and you reduce your CO2 emissions by 850 pounds a year.
If you do already just that, you save (let me think....).....1,350 pounds of Co2 emissions a year!!!!!!
- if you leave the car at the house and instead take public transportation, walk, , bike, or work at home, you save 1,590 pounds per year!!!!
Okay, do all three and you save...2,940 pounds of CO2 emissions per year!!!! That's a lot!!Good night, and hope that you use these tips and share them.

here are some tips/things to know:
- a thousand (that's right. 1,000) years later, your styrofoam coffee cups will still be around.
- use florecent lightbulbs. 1/5 the energy, the same light. less money since you don't have to re-screw on and off so many times.
- the U.S. has only 5% of the world's population, but 1/4 of the greenhouse gas.
- a one-way flight from new york to la. makes each passenger responsible for 1 ton of the CO2 emissions
- take the plug out of stuff that you aren't using. even if its off, it still takes energy out off the plug.
- if you turn off your computors at home and work, you save as much as $100 per year.
- grow your own fruits and vegetables.
- take re-usable bags to the supermarket. they're usually on sale there anyway.
- plant a tree. its obvious, really.and easy!! if you already have a tree, give yourself a pat on the back. you're already helping.
Now do this stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
