Introduction
Global warming is nothing but a sudden and unexpected increase in the average air and envoi mental and global temperature. The sudden increase in temperature can result in floods, hurricanes and eruption of volcanoes. Global warming affects human beings, plants, and animals which may further lead to extinction of their species. Global warming is caused due to increase in harmful gases like methane, nitrous oxide and ozone which further leads to evaporation of water which acts as a greenhouse gas. Global warming may lead to an end of the world, so proper and practical solutions must be taken to stop global warming.
How can we stop global warming? Ways to stop global warming-
-Replace incandescent bulbs by fluorescent bulbs which use almost 70% less energy.
-Programmable thermostats must be used which must be increased by 2 degrees in spring seasons and lowered by 2 degrees in winter which can be very useful to save energy.
-Clean and replace filters of air conditioners regularly. Use heaters and air conditioners with rooms completely closed and sir tight.
-Old freezers and ridges must be checked regularly or replaced. Electronic devices must be switched off and the cable must be removed from socket, rather than leaving it on standby mode which consume more energy.
-Food must be properly covered with lids while cooking which can result in consumption of less gas and food should not be overcooked.
-Waste materials should be recycled instead of dumping it. Avoid use of plastic and fabric materials, use paper products and reuse them.
-Prefer fresh foods and vegetables instead of frozen. Buy food products and vegetables from local markets and places and seek advice and support from local farmers which will save fuel and energy.
-Avoid using vehicles, cars which release large amount of carbon monoxide which can further lead to many diseases such as asthma, diabetes and hyper tension.
-Drive cars and bikes which run on less or alternative sources of energy like solar or hybrid. Use bicycles and go by walking wherever possible.
-Check whether your cars and bikes are properly maintained and cleaned and the tires are properly filled with air and inflated so that it can consume minimum amount of fuel.
-Avoid using non toxic products.
-Use renewable sources of energy such as tidal energy, wind energy, hydro energy, solar energy which can recycle and can be used number of times.
-Avoid cutting of trees, plants and deforestation which absorb harmful carbon dioxide.
-Be informative and create awareness among people, children and neighbors about global warming by use of media, newspaper, magazines, and radio. Plant more trees and take part in campaigns which give information about global warming and take part as a volunteer or organizer in campaigns.
