Global warming is the increase of the Earth's temperature which causes the change in climate. All living creatures in our planet are affected by this great change. What can you do to stop this change? What can you do to help help save and protect our planet? Please share it and spread the word. Remember:We only have one Earth.

I think we have to participate to reuse, recycle our material like magazine, newspaper. If we take a bath we can reuse it by means of watering the plant & we minimize the use of coal in cooking.

I agree with you both. All of us need to change. Yup! participate in reuse, reduce and recycle! Let us also plant trees, Conserve energy, help conserve and protect our forest, Patronize recycled products and spread these ways on helping Mother Earth. Act now and save the planet!

Stop drinking bottled water on a daily basis, we should save them for the emergency only, boiled is just as good as those bottled ones. So much wastes has genereated through those used bottles, many of them never got the chance to be recycled. Recycle as much as you can, I know someone who never pay any attention to the recycle boxes, and I just can't stand that. I am trying to do everything I can to reduce landfill wastes, that includes using the green bin to the maximum for the recycle of biodegradable wastes, and send old electronics to the recycling depot. I am meanly using rechargeable batteries, they can be used many times before the charge is gone, this way is much better than those single-use batteries, which holds less charge than the rechargeabled, and impact environment lots more. Use stairs in the office/school building as much as you can, sometimes taking the elevator with only one people in it just a waste of energy. You can walk up the staris just fine, and is good for your body. Unplug any electronics you don't use, specially the TV, computer and stereo, they still eat power even when they are off, you can help avoid unnecessory energy waste. Don't change your cellphone/laptop models too often, even you got the money doesn't mean the landfill has an opening for it. If you have to throw them away, like I said before please try to recycle them, their lives in landfill are going to be much longer than you and your grandchildren's. Try to ride your bike to your nearest desination on a nice day, who doesn't like a little sunshine? Your car can survive one day without you. When clerks in stores are handing you plastic bags after purchases, learn to say "no", use the reusable bags, they are much better looking, and they don't break that easy like the plastic ones. If you use flash light a lot, like you ride your bike at night, try to use a wind-up torch. They don't need external batteries, and they can never running out of power as long as you got your hands. Lastly, Turn off your lights when you are gone, unlike you, your furnitures are not afraid of dark. Even everyone is doing only one thing at a time, it can make a big difference in the world, this is our world, and we are responsible for its wellbeing.

I think we should learn to stop littering everywhere and learn plant trees to help our ozone layer. We should also try our best to recycle things so lessen our garbage, but I really think planting a lot of tree will really contribute a lot! I hope a lot of people do this.

I totally agree with planting trees! A single Tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime. Carbon dioxide is a major contributor to greenhouse effect and global warming. So let us plant more trees! Spread the word...
