Carbon Dioxide 

Carbon dioxide plays a significant role in global warming. Factories and vehicles produce large amounts of harmful carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels that create carbon dioxide emissions. These emissions have a negative impact on the earth because carbon dioxide gas traps heat, which causes the earth's temperature to rise.

Carbon dioxide is the climate's worst enemy. It's released when oil, coal, and other fossil fuels are burned for energy---the energy we use to power our homes, cars, and smartphones. By using less of it, we can curb our own contribution to climate change while also saving money. Here are several easy, effective ways each one of us can make a difference:

  1. Replacing just 1 incandescent light bulb with 1 compact florescent bulb saves about 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year! If every American household replaced just 5 high-use incandescent bulbs with compact florescent lights we'd collectively save more than $8 billion each year in energy costs and we would prevent the greenhouse gases equivalent to the emissions from nearly 10 million cars.
  2. Turning off lights when it not use saves energy and money. The more energy used, the more rivers are dammed or more fossil fuel is burned, causing air pollution and increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
  3. Let us walked, bicycled, or took public transportation. Our reliance on cars that burn fossil fuels is one of the major causes of increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and it is the primary cause of urban smog. 
  4. Reduce use container soft drink and meal. Throwing away containers of any kind wastes energy and resources and adds to our waste problem. Many towns are running out of landfill space. 
  5. Decrease eat fresh vegetables instead of canned or frozen. Fresh vegetables cook more quickly and are usually more nutritious than frozen or canned foods. Canned and frozen vegetables are often over-processed, contain additives, contribute to air pollution (transport and packaging) and add to our waste problem.
  6. Hairdryers use a lot of energy. In the morning so much energy demand is put on our grids that power companies have to find other sources of energy just to meet the morning rush hour.  
  7. Making paper and plastic bags uses energy and resources. The bags add to our litter and waste problems, and plastic is not biodegradable. Recycling is not the best answer because collecting and recycling materials requires energy. Instead, carry a reusable cloth bag or a knapsack with you.
  8. Diminish eat take-out or cafeteria food that is served in foam or plastic containers. Polystyrene and other plastic containers are made from precious petrochemicals, do not decompose in landfills, and release toxic gases when they are burned in incinerators.
  9. Paper comes from trees. The more of it we use, the more trees that are cut down. it will more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
  10. Rethink planes, trains, and automobiles. Choosing to live in walk-able smart growth cities and towns with quality public transportation leads to less driving, less money spent on fuel, and less pollution in the air. Less frequent flying can make a big difference, too. Air transport is a major source of climate pollution."If you can take a train instead, do that."

Let us make a difference one watt at a time and safe our planet before become a fireball.
