5 Ways to Stop Global Warming at Home – What is climate change?
How to stop Global Warming? What is climate change?
It’s mid-winter in Canada as I write this.
Haven’t forgot Climate Change, of course. But it’s drifted a bit off the Inner Radar, eh? Those Wildfires won’t be here till the dry Spring. Same with Storm damage. And Floods.
We’ve got other things demanding our attention with the ferocity of a mad dog pulling at our pant legs. Food prices. Home costs. Wars. Politicians screaming for our attention…
But still — Climate Change is still changing. And I’ve wondered — What is global warming? How bad is global warming right now? What is climate change?

5 Ways to Stop Global Warming at Home
What is Global Warming?
Is it that the atmosphere is getting all warmed up? Well, the answer is yes! However, it’s not as simple as it sounds.
Global Warming definitely means increase in the temperature near earth’s surface. Our climate responds to many external factors like volcanic eruptions, greenhouse gas and variations in earth’s orbit. When these warming effects result in more warming around the surface, the result is negative. It can actually result in emission of infrared radiations.
Carbon dioxide in atmosphere also results in global warming. Projects are undertaken on internal level to stop Global Warming all across the globe. We as an individual can also be part of this fight against Global Warming by taking care of few things at home and in our daily life. Below mentioned are the ways by which we can actually fight Global Warming Problem:
Way 1 to Stop Global Warming at Home: Use compact fluorescent Bulbs:
By using fluorescent bulbs, not just we will save money as they have much longer life than the basic light bulbs; we will also save power and can stop some portion of the carbon dioxide emission in the atmosphere.
Way 2: Use recycled paper & cloth bag:
Try and always use only recycled paper as this will save trees from getting cut down. This will not just avoid release of gases in atmosphere as if not recycled; the paper will be burnt, but also will save the trees. Also, start carrying your own cloth bag while shopping to avoid plastic bags. This will not only reduce the garbage but also will save extra energy consumption which goes in making these plastic bags.
Way 3: Buy less packaged food and that too organic:
If you will buy food with less packaging, this will help to lessen the amount of litter and garbage around. This garbage gets burnt and again releases harmful gases in the atmosphere which in turn increases the level of global warming. Also, try and buy organic food items as they are not made using harmful chemicals. These chemicals when used in farming pollute the water ad the food items.
Way 4: Carpool:
We all want to flash our own cars. Instead of doing that everyday, try and do that on turns. Start Carpool. This will save the fuel and will also result in less pollution. Hence, it will result in cutting down the Global Warming across.
Way 5 to Stop Global Warming at Home: Plant Trees:
The most effective way in which we can start our fight against global warming at home is by planting trees. We can do that on special occasions like our birthdays, anniversaries and even New Year’s Day. More and more trees around will help to cut down the global warming problem by releasing life saving gases in the atmosphere. Trees also will help by absorbing harmful gases from the atmosphere around.
Thanks, Yachika.
I like all five. Especially the TREES!
Why? President Teddy Roosevelt was warning Americans (and the whole World) about “Climate Change” and “Deforestation” way back in 1908, in his prophetic “Eighth Annual Message to the Senate and House of Representatives” — See Teddy Roosevelt Called it Climate Change in 1908!
