How to reduce Carbon Dioxide Emmisions in your home -One way to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide is to turn down the heat on your thermostat. - It is proven that by doing this you will save money on your energy bill and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide given off.

Solar Paneling Solar Paneling is pricey when first installed, but it is virtually free because it absorbs the suns rays in order to produce energy. There is also a tax rebate when they are purchased, so over about ten years solar paneling pays for itself. Solar Paneling costs from $20,000 to $100,000 depending on the size of your home and the size of the panels.

Home appliances Many home appliances that are over a certain age aren’t as energy efficient as todays appliances, so if an appliance is over ten years old, it is time to replace it. If you change 25%of your lightbulbs to energy efficient ones, you could save up to half of your lighting bill. Plugging electronics into power strips will increase savings because they can be turned off.

Energy efficient cars Many cars that are manufactured today are fuel efficient and can get up to 45 miles per gallon. Most of them only range from $15,000 - $30,000. They may seem pricey at first, but in just a few years they will pay off themselves in terms of the amount of gas that you don’t have to purchase.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Reducing your waste emmisions by purchasing products with less packaging, recycled packaging, ect. will reduce the amount of CO2 given off. Try as often as you can to reuse products such as plastic bags, glass bottles, and paper. Today it is possible to recycle plastic bottles, newspapers, glass bottles, and aluminum cans through your weekly garbage pick-up.

Wind Power Many companies today are converting energy into wind energy using windmills. By 2024, 25% of companies will be using wind energy. Usually, successful, but it obliviously cannot be the primary source of energy.
