Look for Energy Star. Unplug a freezer. One of the quickest ways to reduce your global warming impact is to unplug the extra refrigerator or freezer you rarely use (except when you need it for holidays and parties). This can reduce the typical family's carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 10 percent. Get a home energy audit. Take advantage of the free home energy audits offered by many utilities. Simple measures, such as installing a programmable thermostat to replace your old dial unit or sealing and insulating heating and cooling ducts, can each reduce a typical family's carbon dioxide emissions by about 5 percent. Light bulbs matter. If every household in the United States replaced one regular light bulb with an energy-saving model, we could reduce global warming pollution by more than 90 billion pounds over the life of the bulbs; the same as taking 6.3 million cars off the road. So, replace your incandescent bulbs with more efficient compact fluorescents, which now come in all shapes and sizes. You'll be doing your share to cut back on heat-trapping pollution and you'll save money on your electric bills and light bulbs. Think before you drive. If you own more than one vehicle, use the less fuel-efficient one only when you can fill it with passengers. Driving a full minivan may be kinder to the environment than two midsize cars. Whenever possible, join a carpool or take mass transit. Buy good wood. When buying wood products, check for labels that indicate the source of the timber. Supporting forests that are managed in a sustainable fashion makes sense for biodiversity, and it may make sense for the climate too. Forests that are well managed are more likely to store carbon effectively because more trees are left standing and carbon- storing soils are less disturbed.

One should look after the home appliances, and electronics items, they should not consume lot more energy and be efficient enough. While buying a vehicle, it should be kept in mind that it is highly fuel efficient. It is not a problem for an individual to walk, or join a mass transit or take a bike instead of driving alone. One should take care of it. Even within our houses we can develop a plan to reduce electricity usage around our home. Run our dishwasher only with a full load. Use the energy-saving setting to dry the dishes. Don't use heat when drying. This way you can save about 200 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Wash clothes in warm or cold water, not hot. This would let you save about 500 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. Clean or replace air filters as recommended. Cleaning a dirty air conditioner filter can save 5% of the energy used. Buy energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs for your most-used lights. Reduce waste: Buy minimally packaged goods; choose reusable products over disposable ones; recycle. This would save you around a 1000 pounds a year. If your car has an air conditioner, make sure you recycle its coolant whenever you have it serviced. You can save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide each year by doing this. Plant trees next to your home and paint your home a light color if you live in a warm climate, or a dark color in a cold climate. This would contribute about saving 5000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

As a community we can Not use cars as much Have rallies to get supporters against Global Warming Ask Governments and MPs to improve public transport Ask Governments and MPs to invest in Solar Pannels Make public transport like buses cheaper and more effective.

As a planet and nation, we can… Negotiate rules for Co2 emissions, so that countries do not pump out too much. Stop using Nuclear Weapons Stop or Reduce large-scale logging Re-plant heavily forested areas Negotiate rules to limit Co2 production
