When we are going somewhere nearby, we could use a bike or walk. This can save us from air pollution and the need to buy gasoline. When we are going somewhere far away, we could use public transport, like buses and trains.
- Limit trash usage
When we could use something more reusable or something easier to recycle, it is more environmentally friendly. Examples are using paper straws instead of plastic straws because plastic straws are harder to recycle, and using water bottles instead of paper bottles is also helpful for the environment. After all, you can reuse it instead of throwing a plastic bottle and buying it again.
- Using alternatives for energy
We could use solar panels on our roof so that heat energy won't come from coal, but instead from the sunlight. Try using energies that could be renewed (such as wind). This can limit the use of fossil fuels along with saving coal and other materials that cannot be renewed.
An example is solar panels, which can convert sunlight to electricity.
- Using electric cars
They can limit air pollution along with less gas emissions produced. This could help humans so that they breathe fresher air. Although, they use energy from fossil fuels. Electric cars are more expensive but have cheaper maintenance.
Electric cars work by charging it, hence there is no need to buy gasoline (fuel).
- Plant more trees
Trees take carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Carbon dioxide is one of the components of greenhouse gasses, hence greenhouse gases cause the rise of Earth's temperature. Did you know trees also can prevent floods?
Summary
Global warming happens because of greenhouse gas emissions. These greenhouse gas emissions make the Earth warmer. Greenhouse gas mostly comes from human activity (such as burning fossil fuels). When global warming happens, it impacts our lives along with the nature around us. We could limit the use of fossil fuels to help stop global warming.
