how to make a difference

Global warming has slowly grown from an ignored myth into full-scale fact. People have accepted global warming as mankind’s fault and started asking themselves: “what can I do?” Of course, some people say that it’s gone too far to be slowed down or stopped. However there are many little things we can do to make a difference. If we try, most of us can do our part to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the atmosphere.
The weather is very hot these days; and some of you tend to turn on air-con when you are at home. Electricity is getting more expensive nowadays. Since air-conditioner consumes a lot of energy, people could save some money by cutting a bit from cooling. A fan is enough to cool you down in a hot day.
Some people want to be environmentally friendly; and yet they travel abroad as often as physically possible and drive thirsty sport utility vehicles when they need to get further than a quarter mile. Switching to a smaller car, riding a bike and, for longer distances, using public transport would be a lot cheaper, and who wants to spend big money these days? People want to save cash, and making the green solutions cheaper than the polluting ones would certainly make people choose the green one.
Did you know that you can help the environment if you buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones? Look for the recycle mark – three arrows that make a circle – on the package. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that already have been used. It usually takes less energy to make recycled products than to make new ones. The less energy we use, the better.
Another way to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air is to buy products that don't use as much energy. By conserving energy, we help reduce climate change and make the Earth a better place. Some products – like certain cars and stereos – are made specially to save energy.

Reduce; reuse and recycle are three ways which help the environment. Reduce the amount of Earth’s source that we use. Try not to buy things that you don’t really need. When you buy things, try to buy cool stuffs. Some stuff requires less energy to make than others, so buy them. Reuse containers and products; repair what is broken or give it to someone who can repair it. Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags, and newspapers. When you recycle, you send less trash to the landfill and you help save natural resources, like trees, oil, and elements such as aluminium.
In conclusion, forget about unnecessary stuff, like a room temperature of 25 o C, avoid using your car, which should be a small one anyway, and change small things. You might even get a change for the better.
