Hello everybody. Last year it was a big issue in the news and everywhere global warming and that there is no turning back, etc... I think that governmental and non-governmental institutions are gathering and doing all this things to do something or at least act like they do care. But I think this won't stop if we as each person starts doing something!!!
The truth is I haven't done that much, yes I separate my garbagge, have done some recycling, save water, I don't smoke, don't use hairspray or things like that but maybe it's not enough!!
The question is this: What are you doing pro to your planet??? To stop global warming, to keep our home earth healtly?? The reason I'm asking this is because I want to change and have best habits!! But I need your ideas.
Thank you very much for your comments that are very welcome, Libna.

Global warming is scaring the most of us, I have a LPG car so that helps, I also recycle, paper, plastic, glass bottles, cans, boxes, I use my own bags in the supermarket. Yeah I know I still don't do enough, but I do try my best most of the times.

Hello timasma, you are right!! I have one of those green bags fot the supermarket, but the problem then is my memory and sometime I forget to take it with me. LOL, I try to keep it in my car, but after taking the grocerys home I forget to take it back to the car!! But I'll try to remember, cause I know plastic bags are becomin a great issue!! Thank you, Libna!

That thing about not wasting water I have to do it because where I live there is no water and we have to buy a pipe of water.
I just saw in TV that you save a lot if you put a bottle full of water in the toilet, where is the water for flushing (I don't remember the name)!!!
I don't have a bike, but its a very good idea and also the rechargeable batteries, and also that helps your economy!!
Thank you very much for your help, Libna.

I keep my area clean and maintain it. I just throw my garbage to the trash can, not in any place. I don't smoke. and I don't use hairsprays. Of course separate the biodegradable from non-biodegradable trash. Recycle use products, sell old newspapers and plastics. Simple things can contribute good things to our mother earth. If everybody does it, then we will have a healthy and clean environment.

Cutting back on the unnecessary driving is one of the big things that I am doing to help Global warming. After all, most of the places I go, I can walk anyway. It may take a little longer, but its less stressful on the environment. People who drive to a place down the street instead of walking, well that's just lazy.
Plus, this also takes care of another issue. By walking instead of driving, I get some needed exercise. So walking serves multiple purposes. It may not seem like a lot to do for Global Warming, but every little bit helps. If everyone does a little bit, that does add up but sadly, most people would not bother taking such a simple and logical step than walking more than driving.
