Help the Environment! Stop Global Warming!

Hi, all you blog readers out there.

This could be one of the most important blogs I put out. As you know, global warming has been affecting our world. The average temperature of Earth has risen by 1 degree F. In the ice caps, it's risen over 7 degrees F. It would take a while to reverse the effects of global warming, but it can be done!

One website that I have found that gives ideas is http://www.dosomething.org/node/62554. Some things are simple, easy-to-do things - take showers of ten or less minutes, use recycled paper, only run the dishwasher when it's full. There's more information on http://www.dosomething.org/causes/global_warming.

Some of you like gardening. That's great. Plant a garden. You can get fresh fruit and vegetables when they're in season and get out more often. Beautify your yard. These plants also intake carbon dioxide and give us oxygen, allowing us to breathe, besides saving you money on veggies.

One person's junk is another person's treasure. Donate used items or sell them in a garage sale. Landfills take up a lot of space in our world and (1) Aren't pretty (2) Smell (3) Take a long time to biodegrade, if ever, and (4) can be mostly prevented. Recycle paper, glass, plastic, and aluminum. Use cloth bags at the grocery store and reusable water bottles. Plastic is not biodegradable.

Here are some car things that you can do to prevent CO2 emissions from getting out of control: Keep your tires properly inflated, check the car's air filter once a month, carpool and drive less, and turn the engine off (even in traffic) if you have to wait for 30+ seconds.
