Skip's Ten Best Ways to Stop Global Warming
Everyone wants to do their part to stop Global Warming. But most people are unwilling to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve this urgent goal, even though our very existence is threatened.
So I've compiled a list of the 10 best things ANYONE can do stop Global Warming.
These are in order from the most effective first.
#1 - Stop having Children! This will prevent any more "consumers" from being created and adding more "carbon footprints" to an already overburdened planet.
#2 - Stop Consuming! You've been programmed your whole life to consume products made by corporations. Stop buying shit you really don't need. Make what you can yourself, or buy from other small cottage industries instead of corporations. Stop Buying and Using Plastic! Most plastic is made from fossil fuels, and as oil prices go sky high, so does the price of plastic.
#3 - Don't Go Anywhere! Unless you must, of course. Unnecessary trips in any type of fossil fuel consuming vehicle adds to greenhouse gases.
#4 - Use Alternative Energy Sources! Solar and Wind generated (green) power is now more widespread and getting cheaper all the time. Add a green power source to your residence, get off the grid and pay less for electricity or generate enough so that the electric company must pay you! Imagine, if you are contributing MORE green energy to the system than you are using, you have a negative carbon footprint, and must be some kind of eco-hero!
#5 - Use Mass Transport! Leave your car at home and commute via mass transport in cities and suburbs.
#6 - Insulate! Check the insulation in your dwelling and add more. Insulate yourself by wearing more clothes and turning down the thermostat on cold days.
#7 - Buy Local! Try to limit your purchases to items produced in your local area, state or country. Stop buying imports that must shipped long distances. Stop driving long distances just to shop - use the Internet!
#8 - Telecommute! Stop driving to work at all and work at home if possible. If you can't do it everyday, do it when you can.
#9 - Teach Your Children! The better educated they are about Global Warming and green alternatives, the smaller their carbon footprint will be.
#10 - Stop Eating Meat! It's not just about methane emissions from cows. It's about the loss of native forests (which go up in smoke) for more pastures. It's about feeding ten times more protein to animals than those animals yield. It's about huge industrial farms that grow only animal feeds. And factory farms that raise animals in unhealthy conditions. What a waste of precious resources so you can chow a burger!
I realize most people are unwilling or unable to make all these sacrifices. Yet we are all going to have give up something we are programmed to do and find other ways of fulfilling our needs and wants.
Which things are you already doing, and which will you commit yourself to doing now?
