What can we do?

Global Warming

Stopping deforestation is one way that we can help curb global warming, but this is only one area that needs action.

There are many things that we can do as individuals that will help to at least slow down and hopefully stop global warming. By being more energy efficient in our homes, we can all help to reduce the levels of CO2 entering the atmosphere. The primary activities in and around the home that can be more efficiently managed are the use of automobiles, electricity and gas.

For example, investing in better insulation can reduce the need for heating which will not only reduce emissions, but could also see a reduction in heating bills over the long term. The use of more energy efficient light bulbs can also make a massive difference in the level of CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere.

The Governments of the world have a major part to play in the solutions to global warming as they are the ones with the power to set legislation to limit the amount of deforestation, fossil fuels, CFC's and reduce the level of carbon emissions.
