Global warming is now an important issue in society now, what have u done to contribute to global warming?
Answer:
I dont want to help Global warming
it is going fast enough already
150.000 people die each year because of it
But I try to persuede people to try and behave more Eco friendly
the Earth needs all the help it can get
Global Warming does not
this is what I do
Tell farmers about sustainable farming ,water harvesting and organic pest control,
Talk to kids about Environmental awareness
I have made a lot of gardens

global warming cannot be stopped but we can stop helping it becoming faster,and being friendlier to out Environment cannot be bad
-----------------------------.
The best we can do as individuals is be more responsible ,in our own neck of the woods
Organise well publicized clean up parties ,talk on the radio
Have citizan meetings
Get the shools involved to plant trees and listen to environmental awareness talks,
If you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,
We have done a lot of comunity cleaning and if you dont leave alternatives or try to work on peoples guilt feelings (some people actually have those ,but not many)
than your efforts are a waste of time.
That is what we do in Mexico
POSITIVE ACTIONS
Print Tshirts with slogans ,hang posters all over the place (with recycled paper if possible)
Classify trash take out all the organic waste and make compost with it ,the worst you can do is throw it with the trash
70% of contamination is due to organic waste that is mixed in with the garbage .
And it is just as bad in the sewer where it helps to breed rats and in the landfill it poisons the ground
And it is the easiest to take care of
o first of all we have to clasify trash at least keep the organic to one side ,like in a plasic bin with a lid
If you got a few meters of ground ,you only need 1 or 2 square meters in a shallow hole ,in the shade ,that you can wet now and again ,where you dump everything that is organic ,from toilet paper,bones vegetable cuttings ,eggshells,,dead bodies ,excrement ,and cover regularly with leaves to keep humid and to hide any smell
the worms will come and decompose the wastes truning it into beautifull blck soil for the garden of flower pots .
If you are in a apartment ,if you have a balcony get a big plastic bin drill some holes in the side and lid ,
Add a few buckets of sand now and again to put over the trash ,you should realt stir or move the stuff at times to airate it and ensure that the decomposition is overall ,keep moist
This rubbish does not get big very fast and the thing works for a long time with out getting full

If you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown the destructive processes
Reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.
The capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.
The world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia
Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.
The protection of existing forrests.
Stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.
Education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.
Education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´population
Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.
More environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks
More dams.regulations and control for public behaviour
Alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine
Recicling wastes,limit water use
Not much. The Sun is the main factor and it has been increasing its output for the past 20 years.
If humans did not exist at all, global climate change would continue just as it always has. The main difference is that Al Gore would not be around to fill his pockets with our cash.
i dont run the water while brushing my teeth i switched to hair gel and not hairspray, i roll down the windows instead of blasting the air, and all my friends live around me so i walk to their houses instaed of making my rents drive me
global warming... ah yes. Lets see, if you look back on what scientists believe was the average temp millions of years ago it was much much warmer than it is now. Yet, things still exsisted. I think the issue of global warming is blown into an astronomical issue when really, it shouldn't be as big as it is.
I guess if though to answer your question, and we are talking about what most people believe contributes to global warming; my answer would be driving my car, not recycling, and so forth.
I've filled my gas tank on ozone action days when you were advised not to.
I fly to different parts of the world to work on ships that use 20,000 tons of fuel every month. When home I burn the yard once a year instead of cutting it every week and walk or bike wherever I need to go.
I think the more important issue is, if global warming is such an important issue, why aren't people contributing more to it?
Research takes money, PEOPLE! And I don't know how much our government is spending to fund global warming, but you can bet its not enough. ITS TIME TO RALLY! Do you want China or Wales to get ahead of us on this one too?
I enjoy running around the back yard spraying freon and aerosols at random.
Drive a big belchfire V8 car, burn wet leaves in the fall, turn the AC down to 50 degrees and the heat up to 90 degrees, set my water heater to 180 degrees, leave all the lights on, eat lots of beans, watch 3 TVs at the same time as listening to a 500 watt stereo, drive to my neighbor's house next door, under inflate my tires, you know, stuff like that.
Actually, I don't. Something else I don't do is waste time, energy, and/or money on something so over-hyped as 'global warming'. You can't stop, change or "fix" nature, so I don't bother with it, nor worry about stupid stuff that you really can't do anything about. I'm not duped by al gorey, either.
