Global Warming Solutions: Energy Saving Steps You Can Begin Using Today

There are some easy ways you can help fight global warming. Become part of the solution!
Energy saving tips to reduce global warming effects at home:
* Use energy-saving light bulbs - they don't heat up like old style light bulbs.
* Let the sun warm your rooms in winter, and keep shades drawn in summer to help cool your home.
* When you turn off an appliance, it's still on if it's still plugged in. Plug-in air fresheners, toasters and cell phone chargers drain your electric meter. Think about using power strips which allow you to turn off everything at once. The result is that a lot of energy is conserved.
* Easing up on your thermostat when you're asleep or not at home also helps reduce global warming pollution.
* Using energy saving settings on your dishwasher and washing machine to help improve your family's energy efficiency, too.
Fight the global warming problem when you're on the road:
* Reduce weight in your car to combat global warming. Extra weight impacts fuel efficiency by burning more fuel.
* Choose to drive an energy-saving hybrid car. You'll directly address environment concerns while saving a lot of money on gas and maintenance, too.
* Go easy on the air conditioning; your cool car directly affects the global climate.
* Combine trips when you can, and carpool to conserve energy.
* If available depend on public transport system rather than your own car.
