Want to do something good for your planet and future? Want to help stop the global warming of our planet. Thanks to ninemsn.com.au, we can provide you with 10 easy things that you can do to help and how much caron dioxide you can save by putting them into action.
We can all help take the warming out of global warming.
1. Drive less: Walk, bike, carpool or take public transport more often. You’ll save 1.5kg of carbon dioxide for every 5km you don’t drive!
2. Change a light: Replacing six regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs will save 400kg of carbon dioxide a year.
3. Recycle more: You can save 1000kg of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.
4. Check your tyres: Keeping your tyres inflated properly can improve your car’s fuel efficiency. Every litre of petrol saved keeps 2.5kg of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere!
5. Use less hot water: It takes a lot of energy to heat water — use less hot water by installing an energy efficient triple A rated showerhead (3 tonnes of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (225kg saved per year).
6. Avoid products with alot of packaging: You can save 545kg of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
7. Move your thermostat down 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer.You could save about 900kg of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment.
8. Plant a tree: A single tree will absorb one tonne of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
