Recently I was watching a documentary film about "Global Warming" and I was surprised to know that USA is producing a lot of CO2 in percentage along with other nations who are also responsible for leading our environment & nature to such destruction. Our future generations will have no clue whatsoever and will make us responsible for this mishap, b'coz what I came to know that we as an individual can stop Global Warming and make our environment pollution free. Therefore I ask every visitor of my blog to help for such a cause and forget their own nationality & place from where they belong. Don't Forget "Live for nothing, Die for something". Here are 10 things which I'm going to follow as an individual, I hope you would too..

Want to do something to stop Global Warming?
Here are 10 simple things you can do & how much carbon dioxide you’ll save doing them.
Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
Drive Less
Walk, bike, carpool or take mass transit more often. You’ll save 1 pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don’t drive!
You can save 2400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.
Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow showerhead (350 pounds of CO2 saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year)
You can save 1200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%
Moving your thermostat just 2 degrees in winter & up 2 degrees in summer. You can save 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide by just making a simple adjustment.
A single tree will absorb 1 ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
Simply turning off your television, DVD player, stereo & computer when you’re not using them will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
Spread the word! Encourage your friends to stop Global Warming!!
