OK so we learned about Global Warming in science and it's pretty sh*tty. So I'm going to write some ways to help reduce North Americas carbon footprint. And also the suns rays are going into Earth and some are reflecting back warming the Earth and trapping heat.
1. Simply exchange one of your light bulbs for a CFL light bulb! It's a quarter of the cost of the regular bulb ones that produce more heat than light.
2. Buy local foods, not imported because you're just paying them to burn gas to bring food and stuff across the country.
3. Use a fan instead of AC.
4. Recycle a lot more stuff.
5. Reuse water bottles or use the metal ones or rubbery plastic ones and re-fill them not use the plastic ones that are from gas stations and what not.
6. If you move your thermostat down two degrees in the winter and two degrees up in the summer, you can save up to $98 and 2000 lbs. of CO2 per year.
7. Plant plants! A single tree will absord a ton (2000 lbs) of CO2!
8. Don't run the dishwasher after every time you eat. Fill the dish washer and you'll save $40 and 100 lbs of CO2.
Well those are SOME things you can do to help. (Sounds like nerd) The North Pole is shrinking and polar bears are dieing because the swim to each ice sheet is getting further and further. The deserts are getting bigger because there's not a lot of rain fall and the Earth is warming so ya!
OH MER GAWD I SOUND SOOOOO WEIRD WRITING THIS !!! TTFN!!
