Environmental Warfare: A Fine Mess We Made By Jon Caldwell At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

We are seeing people getting sick and a lot of our surroundings dilapidating over the time. While we are surely living in an unbalanced world, nobody knows what is bound to happen next. We have put ourselves in this predicament. Only time will tell if we can still make a change for the better.

Global warming is an issue that we have created. It is an issue that we can work to resolve. The damage that is already done is irreversible, but we can make changes now to protect the earth’s atmosphere in the future. If we reduce the amount of fuel that we burn, by making changes to our lifestyle, we can reduce the amount of damage that is done to the atmosphere.

Saving earth is everyone's responsibility. The damages done to the earth resources have to be slowed-down and eventually stop if we want our children and grand-children to enjoy a healthy outdoor life like we can.

The big polluters have been pointed and rules and regulations to diminish the toxic gas emissions have been put into place. Manufacturers are now targeted to ensure they lower their pollution production.

Although this is a small step in the right direction, more needs to be done to slow down and eventually stop the wastes of our natural resources. Such solutions as walking instead of taking the car for small travels are a good and healthy start. Other measures such as not letting the purified water run aimlessly or better isolation of a house to lower the fuel consumption to heat it are all small steps that have the power to make a difference in the long run.

Detractors love to remind us that global warming is not new – it has been happening for thousands of years – it happened before, when humans were not even around, and it will happen again. That does not change the fact that we are responsible for accelerating it this time, and we can undo the damage if we work hard enough. Recently, Time magazine deemed the rapid overall temperature increase to be an emergency condition. Action needs to be taken. Now!

There is much that we as individuals can do to stop global warming. For one thing, we can stop global warming by conserving energy . How can you conserve energy? Just join the office car pool, walk or cycle instead of using your car for short journeys. Use public transport. Fit low energy light bulbs in every room. Turn off appliances when they are not in use, and turn the thermostat down one degree – you probably won't even notice it, but over time, that one degree difference will amount to a lot of energy saved. Just imagine this. What if every single person made changes like those? The result would be that the savings would be huge.

Another simple way to do your bit is to recycle – instead of letting rubbish end up in landfill sites, or, worse, be incinerated, if you recycle it you reduce waste, and save on the energy that would have been needed to produce whatever the product was from raw materials.

Also, using eco-friendly fuels and vehicles will help prevent global warming – at the moment some eco-friendly options are more expensive than standard fuel, but in the long run you will be saving immensely.
