Taking Action To Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Description: 

The future is not somewhere we are going. It is something we are creating. Every day we do things that make some futures more probable and others less likely.

Global warming already disrupts millions of lives daily in the forms of destructive weather patterns and loss of habitat. What is already happening is only the tip of the melting iceberg, for it is our children and grandchildren who may suffer most from the effects of global warming. Hundreds of millions of people may be exposed to famine, water shortages, extreme weather conditions and a 20 - 30% loss of animal and plant species if we do not reduce the rate of global warming and reduce GHG emissions.On the other hand, having warmer winters means longer growing seasons in temperate and subarctic climes, sometimes allowing an additional crop to be planted and harvested each year, or simply making the existing crops more productive. This article outlines some ways that you can act to help prevent the Earth from warming further. While humankind has the ability to destroy the planet, we can also help protect and sustain it.

Reducing your carbon and greenhouse gas emissions will not only make your personal living space more sustainable but it will also save you money in both the short- and long-term. Global warming is occurring more rapidly than it was originally expected to. Only forty years ago, the big worry was global cooling. Even if you remain a cynic, however, and disagree with the consensus of scientists, you will benefit from reduced pollution, a more healthful lifestyle and increased savings from enacting these simple activities that will not reduce the quality of your life.

Description: 

I live in a place, where fertilizers and pesticides are something very new in farming, as new as 4-5 years back. I gew up with organic food, and vegetables from my backyard. My father is an environmental activist, and I started banning the use of plastic from a very small age. I stayed in United States for 3 years for my education, and my biggest problem there was the food! I feel very sorry for the developed countries for their quality of food. Even the fruits and vegetables and injected with preservaties. forget the meat. so we need to start changing fast!

we have been trying to stop mass farming in Nepal and continue the sustainable way of farming.

What Al Gore ignored too...

Description: 

Animals raised for food contribute more carbon emissions to the atmosphere than all forms of transportation combined. I can't afford an electric car yet, but I also can't afford to eat animals. They're bad for me. They're carcinogenic and harmful to my cardiovascular health and, most importantly, killing and abusing others because I'm too lazy to find another way to survive is bad for my spirit.

For that same reason, I will pressure my political leaders from the city assembly all the way up to the president and every corrupt beefeater in between to stop our country from conducting terror campaigns against other countries (and our own citizens). We waste an unrecoverable amount of resources and create more harm to the earth and our fellow human beings through this selfishness than we can ever repair. Our species cannot survive this century if we will not evolve enough to stop institutionalizing violence.

Yes, I'll recycle everything at my home, work, and school that can be recycled in my town and advocate for expansion of our recycling program. I'll also recycle my body by donating blood when the blood bank comes to town and keeping myself a healthy candidate for organ donation, and part of that will be riding my bicycle more. But the most important thing I can do to save the world for the next generation is to bring peace to the earth beginning with me.
