7 Ways That You Can Help Save Our Planet

Here's a list of 7 everyday things that we can all do to help save our planet.

1. Use Solar Water Heaters if you are living at place where there is enough sunlight.
Using solar water heaters can easily save hundreds of dollars on energy bills. Also, solar water heaters heats better then normal heaters.

2. The Transportation Routine.
Use public transports like Trains and buses. Utilize the carpool concept and similar ideas for your traveling needs. Emissions from today’s vehicles account for a large part of the CO2 being released into the atmosphere. Public transport vehicles like buses take large number of people from one place to another, so by using these public transportation systems, emissions per person will be lower compared to everyone driving their own vehicles. Carpooling is another great way to lower the CO2 per vehicle level overall.

3. Tune Engine and Air filters every 6 months.
Air filters on vehicles get clogged by dust and other particles in the air and from the engine. Cleaning the filters in the engine will allow the vehicle to run more smoothly and efficiently. Keeping your vehicle tuned will not only help in reducing carbon emissions, but it will save on how much gas is being used per mile. That means more money in yoru pocket instead of the pump.

4. Clean up those Furnace and Air conditioner filters!
Just like vehicles, furnaces and A/C units have air filters and they should always be checked and cleaned. Once they get clogged, more energy is wasted. By cleaning and making sure the filters are free of debris, you can not only save energy, but help reduce carbon emissions.

5. Recycled Products
By using recycled products, you can help reduce how fast our resources are being depleted. For example, consider using recycled paper products over non recycled paper. That will help reduce the amount of trees that are being cut down.

6. Plant more trees.
Trees suck up carbon dioxide and produce and oxygen in return. Planning more trees would reduce a percentage of the CO2 levels in our atmosphere. Not to mention more oxygen to go around.

7. Educate more people about Global Warming and Its effects.
Educating as many people as possible will not only put pressure on the governments to provide ways on global warming prevention but the people themselves will do their own measures to prevent global warming.

Remember, the more we can do, the better off we will all be.
