Help our planet now!

I'm trying to graduate some time soon it will help if you guys recycle to stop global warming and climate change here's a few simple ways to stop global warming. I'll post tips everyday until we finish. I recycle plastic,cardboard and paper what do you recycle

50 ways to stop global warming


  1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb (cfl)CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will
    save about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.We recommend youpurchase your CFL bulbs at 1000bulbs.com, they have great deals on both screw-in and plug-in light bulbs.
  2. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summerAlmost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and
    cooling. You could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year
    with this simple adjustment.
  3. Install a programmable thermostatProgrammable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air
    conditioning at night and raise them again in the morning. They can
    save you $100 a year on your energy bill.
  4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditionerCleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
  5. Do not leave appliances on standby
    Use the “on/off” function on the machine itself. A TV set that’s switched on for 3 hours a day
    (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during the remaining 21 hours
    uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.
  6. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanketYou’ll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple
    action. You can save another 550 pounds per year by setting the
    thermostat no higher than 50°
  7. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularlyEven better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic defrost cycles and are
    generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their predecessors.
