You want to create a better world but don't know where to start? Let's start by saving the Earth. To have a better world we must take care of our earth. It is the only one we have! And having compassion for the earth is a great we to start to make a better world.
Instead of buying new things buy second-hand, or fix the old. Repair appliances and clothing. Manufacturing emits carbon dioxide when making new products.
Unplug energy electronics when not in use, use power strips for lamps and TV. Unplug chargers when you aren't using them. Reduce the amount of energy required for your home. Only replace with energy smart appliances when upgrading.
When you stay at a hotel, hang up and reuse your towels rather than washing them after each use. This saves water and energy.
Instead of turning up the heat, wear a warm sweater in winter. In summer open your windows and turn on a fan instead of blasting the air conditioner. Much of the energy used in your home is still created by coal fueled plants that emit lots of carbon dioxide.
If you see a business with the door propped open in the summer with their air conditioning running, ask them to close the door. Leaving the door open to an air-conditioned building can let 2.2 tons of energy's carbon dioxide escape over the summer.
Eat more vegetables and less meat. Livestock accounts for some of Earth's heat-trapping gas emissions. Eating more plants cuts down on the need for so much livestock and the plants help change carbon dioxide into oxygen.
Leave your gasoline powered vehicles at home when you can walk to bike to your destination. These vehicles produce massive amounts of carbon dioxide. When you do drive, don't let the engine idle for more than you stopping at lights and traffic. This will save the air you breathe and also save you the cost of gasoline!
There are a lot of ways to help save the earth. More in future blogs . . .
