All over the world, countries are experiencing climate change and it’s effect to the global environment. Some scientists have claimed that if we don’t act now, the damage to our ecosystem will be irreparable. The Amazon Forest is a victim of deforestation for several years. Because of this, different species of animals and rare plants are fast diminishing in numbers. Forest fires is also a factor. Let us not forget the ever present air pollution, improper waste management and the continued use of non biodegradable materials. Mankind was taught for several generations about the importance of having a clean environment and taking care of it for the future generations’ sake. However, we have to admit that some doesn’t bother anymore because of living a busy life, doesn’t have the time nor the interest.

Alarming news of tragedy that erupted globally has spurned researchers to give a hint or to come up with a definite resolution to the problem, but alas, it will take billions of hands to work hand in hand to achieve this seemingly impossible feat. Several countries and industries have already taken steps to introduce products that are environment friendly. For household items there are detergent soaps, bags and kitchen appliances that are made to help minimize the harmful pollutants present in the air that causes the “greenhouse effect”. Refrigerators are one of the kitchen appliances that was remodeled to be “CFC” free. Chloroflourocarbon is a pollutant mostly present in air conditioners, refrigerators and other cooling appliances implicated in the acceleration of the ozone layer depletion.

There will be change if all people will help. Solar powered cars are invented, a machine that converts dirty or rainwater to be pottable. Two years ago, biodiesel as an alternative fuel was introduced. It garnered a lot of support from the government and several non profit organizations. Proper waste management, recycling and compost are just few of the simple ways we can help Mother Earth to survive. There’s the gasifier that converts municipal solid waste, sewer sludge, petroleum and oily wastes, animal manures, biomass, scrap tires and coal into a renewable resource of energy that can provide electric power for homes, equipment, power plants and motor vehicles.

A joint effort will spur the changes and get the balanced ecosystem back. We can help even in out own ways as industries strive to invent machinery that doesn’t harm the environment. I hope that future generations have a clean and environment to live in. The Blue Planet.

Need help to save our only home – Earth – do your bit now! We keep hearing celebrities, politicians and most of the famous personalities talk about global warming, green house effect, go green etc. Did you ever bother to know what is this all about and how can you do your bit to save this fragile planet which is our only home?

Do you know what Global Warming is?

We know that life on earth survives because of nature’s carefully designed and balanced temperature. So the global warming is the increase of this average temperature on Earth. How do we know that earth is turning into a furnace slowly? Simple, we are seeing the symptoms; we see more of these disasters hurricanes, droughts, forest fires and floods which are getting more frequent.

When NASA recorded the top 11 warmest years in 2007, they all had been in last 13 years. This global warming results in serious problem- Climate change.

The Climate change is not new to life on earth. History and archeology show that due to change in sun’s energy output, the continents are formed and moved around all over the globe. BUT this climate change was very slow and many plants and animals have survived this.

The climate change we are talking about due to the global warming is not going to be a smooth transition to any living being on this planet. The effect could be seen as soon as by end of this century.

What is Tipping point?

The Tipping points of no return warns us against climate change. There are 12 identified regions around the world (Yes! includes our own Amazon rainforest and California) that would be affected by abrupt changes. Good news is, a small change in our lifestyle can make a huge difference in preventing the disaster waiting to happen. If we don’t take action now, we will not leave a good home for our future generations.

Tips:

Save energy at home - Cut on electricity consumption

Use washing machine only when you have full load of cloths
Use sun to dry your laundry instead of electric dryer.
Switch off TV/ computer at the end of the day instead of leaving it on standby. This may not sound a big deal but this tiny step will help save power.

Travel Green

Unplug your TV and other electric appliances when you are leaving for vacation. They can draw up to 40 watts per hr even when they are switched off!

Stop your news paper.

Plant a tree.

There is no other place like home! Heard that before? But ever thought how many trees were cut down to build you home? Planting a long lasting tree even in your backyard can help a lot in reducing co2 level in air.

Don’t have a backyard? how about roof top? you can turn your plane dry roof top into a beautiful garden which can supply free vegetables to your kitchen.

Recycling

Don’t waste things – already enough resource is spent on that to produce. Look for an opportunity to recycle. Ex: you can recycle your old sneakers.

Freecycle: instead of throwing or dumping in your basement your old but good to use things, give to someone who can use and thank you for it.

Green Christmas

Go for real ones! Fake trees are petroleum based and not biodegradable! If you have a backyard, decorate one of the trees there. If you prefer your tree in the living-room, make sure you buy from a local farm. It’s good for the regional business and also saves transportation costs and emissions.
Make sure your Christmas lights are made of LEDs – if everyone would replace the conventional lighting, the savings would be enough to power 200.000 homes for one year.
When holidays are over, check if your community offers a recycling service. Instead of clogging landfills, trees can be turned into wood chips to mulch gardens and parks.

Reduce your electricity bill.
