How did we ruin it?


It is no secret that we are in a serious situation known as global warming. This phenomenon is dangerous to human life and animal. Global warming is the result of human actions that are highly damaging to the environment. The explosion of the population, deforestation, the destruction of forests, mining, paper industry, the furniture companies, and other things are seriously affecting the balance of the atmosphere. Another cause of the current situation is the development of towns and cities. The excessive use of fuels generates a high CO2 production that affects the serious air.

Help Environment


In order to help environment it is necessary to begin to change some forms of life in our houses and thus to create the saving culture demonstrating all the consequences that arrived ahead but.
For this the ex-candidato to the presidency of the U.S.A. Al Gore proposes advice to help in the reduction of the climatic change:
we going to change the traditional light bulbs by the lamps of smaller consumption. The CFL, they consume 60% less electricity than a traditional light bulb, with which this simple change will reduce the emission of 140 kilos of carbon dioxide to the year.
we going to fix the thermostat to two degrees less in winter and two degrees more in summer. Fitting to the heating and the conditioned air they would be possible to be saved 900 kilos of dioxide of carbon to the year.
we going to use less hot water. Less hot water can be used installing one skillful-telephone of low pressure and washing the clothes with cold or lukewarm water.
we going to buy products of recycled paper. The manufacture of recycled paper consumes between 70% and 90% less energy and avoids that it continues the deforestation world-wide.
we going to buy fresh foods. To produce congealed food consumes 10 times more energy.
we going to buy organic foods. The organic cultures absorb and store much more carbon dioxide that the cultures of the farms “conventional”.
we going to avoid to buy products that come in heavy packages. If it is reduced in a 10% personal sweepings can be saved 540 kilos of dioxide of carbon to the year.
we going to recycle, they are possible to be saved up to 1000 kilos of remainders in a year recycle half of the remainders of a family.
we going to choose an automobile of smaller consumption. When buying a new automobile can save 1,360 kilos of dioxide of carbon to the year if this it renders two kilometers by liter of gasoline more than the other. He is preferable that buys an automobile hybrid or with biocombustibles.
Where it demonstrates to us that if can have a change to obtain the benefit and to be more time in this beautiful planet surrounded by glacial fauna and flora with spectacular we must create conscience to live better and to avoid many environmental diseases and destructions.
