Global warming - What can you do about it ?

one and only solution is planting and preserving Trees. avoid pollution. I use cycle for short distances.that how i am contributing to this in many small ways like cycle, planting trees,and more

well if you are Canadian plz vote NDP and protest Steven harpers clean air act also please try to use public transportation and buy a fuel efficient car coming from me that is hypocritical because i got a tricked out gto but it burs at the normal level believe me it took a long time to get that to happen lol also but 50 50 fuel ethanol is a great solution one thing i really want to stress is the fact that the us is reluctant to join Kyoto and carelessly burns fossil fuels we can force the us government to reduce emissions by adding the polar bear the endangered species list i hope this was helpful keep protesting

Well not that I'm againt the Americans (actually I think most of them are quit nice and good people), but the americans really should start thinking about their 5.0 liter V8 or V6 engiens, I know quit a few Americans and they all have big car and most of the have two, and they drive to anything, even if its only a few blocks away, I think there is really a need for atitude changes about this problem among many Americans, I vote for 6$ a gallon, it might start to make them think :)

I am very concerned about global warming as they are saying that Greenland is threatening to break up and the ice melt. If this happens then my home here in Netherlands will be sunk under water. That is scarey to me. Here in the Netherlands most people have bikes and I think that if America made bikes more appealing to people and give them proper bike paths like they have here then the pollution and congestion would ease up and there would be less pollution. It is possible if people stop being so dependant on oil.

Im very concerned as you, but i realy dont know what can i do to minimize its increasing, except some recycling actions, but its not enought.

As I live in quebec, I can confirm that my little world has changed since I was young. I don't know if we have reached a point of no return, but I have done many changes in my life in order to influence my relatives. At least, I am trying. I am 21 years old, I live far away from my parents and still I don't have a car. Either I use public transporation (free for students) or I walk. Later, if necessaary, I will buy an hybrid car. We should put pressure on our governments to make them use clean energy (wind, solar, electricity), but when I see that both Canada and the USA rejected the Kyoto Protocol, I feel very small...

At least we can support political parties who underline kyoto-agreement. That's a very easy support.

i am concerned about it, and i think everyone else is, the only thing can be done is to spread awareness. i think.

Nothing, the environment runs in cycles, and global warming is overhyped. It was supposed to be making much stronger hurricanes and would hit the US with monster hurricanes this year. That didn't happen, just goes to prove the "scientists" are actually spin-doctors for political interests.

Global warming is indeed a serious problem, but there are many things we as individuals can do in our lives to help. The automobile is a good one. Ride a bike, walk, or take public transit. Or carpool. The dependency on the automobile in our society is one of the most devastating problems around, but one that can be changed. Because of this dependency, however, and the lack of desire for change in many people, we need laws and restrictions to be put on automobile use, such as in some European countries which have done this. Also, in our own homes we can switch to low watt light bulbs and turn off lights when not in the room. I also like the idea you proposed of planting trees. Another huge thing we can do is eat locally grown and organic food whenever possible. The energy and fossil fuels that are consumed in the transportation and production of food is vast, and eating locally can help out a lot. There are so many ways, these are just a few tangible acts we can do in our day-to-day lives. Good discussion topic, i hope more people respond.

welll its an important question.........and the answer lies within ourselves.....

Global warming is the first environmental issue facing the Earth., so I really concern with global warming too, cause at my place really get worse as temperature rise. There's many danger signs have already started appearing at my country, climate changes, mudflow, flood and decreasing fresh water source. Among factors that may be contributing to global warming are the burning of coal and petroleum products and forest exploitatin.

please stop driving your cars

I think people should recyle, use less, make sure their governments are also doing things that support our environment and not big business.

Try to create a lot of Forest all around.

Global warming is a global problem. I stop using CFC products in support of global warming.

good discussion. keep it up

I am concerned but i don't know how to help :/

global warming is a major problem, the best response 4 global warming for the average joe would be hybrid cars... they can really help...

the little that everyone of us can do can make a big difference.. conserve energy whereever possible
