How to Save our dying world
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2007 7:59 pm
As many of you know, the world could be coming to an end due to the strain that we are putting on the world, I have looked through many article to see different ways to tackle global warming and have a hope of saving the world.
I now ask you to read through these, and try doing all of them or some of them for a week and see the difference it can make on your life and others.
[1] Our love for cars and vehicles, are destroying the world, we dont need cars to take us to the corner shop down the road, or to drop and pick up your children from school - just think that you could kill to birds with one stone, by not driving you are helping the planet, and you can cut down of road accidents. Most cars can only carry four people not including a driver, but when you look at public transport, you can fit 80 or more people on one vehicle. That will stop 20cars on the road, and due to the large amount of transport available you can take 100times that.
[2] We are not all adults, so we dont all drive, but there are other things that we do such as watch TV -, one thing that you can do is Switch it off! Did you know that the blinking red eye on television standby could use up to 50 per cent of the energy the TV uses when switched on? In fact, every electrical device you leave on consumes more energy that you would imagine, so turn them off and see your parents carbon production (and electricity bills) dip, this could earn rewards for you.
[3] Re-use paper, there is no point writing one word on a piece of paper, the deciding that its scrap, or you made a mistake - cross it out. The less you use the better. Paper is not the only thing that can be re-used, or recycled. Think. How much of it did you really need in the first place, and is it really rubbish? What we may think of as being old and useless (last year's mobile phone, for example) is probably useful to someone else. Why not recycle and give it another life?
Those are some ways to help the world - the real question is you willing to save the later generations by doing all these.
