Go Green-Stopping Global Warming

It has been a while I didn't update my blog so often as before, a little bit busy with my sticker business these days. I guess it was because the time kids about going back to school, perhaps.

I woke up pretty early today, as I promised LKM to make him breakfast before he goes to work. Just a simple healthy combo breakfast-banana pancake with mable syrup, and soy milk. This is a very simple and nice pancake recipe that I found couple weeks ago, but this time I replaced the milk with soy milk, and the margarine with oil. It turn out to be good too :)

I wasn't feel good these few days. As I talked with a friend here, and my buddy in Melbourne,Australia, I don't feel good that everyday when I read the news, typhoon is hitting TW and mainland China, tsunami is expected in Indian Ocean and Japan again, earthquake happens every where, even airplan crash is now happens more and more frequent...the change of the climate and weather, global warming, make the planet earth sick...sigh...

I just read an article couple minutes ago, global warming is actually causes the increase of temperature, much more rain is anticipated as the ice caps melt. As a result, rising sea levels could cause much more severe flooding especially in low-lying coastal areas...if we go back to the beginning, it's no doubts why is it rain flood and forest fires happens so often in everywhere- human-caused greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane.

One's lifestyle changes can actually reduce and solve the global warming problem by reducing the CO2 that leads to this severe problem, these are pretty knowledgeable information even I didn't know about it:

-NO#1 cause of global warming. According to the United Nations, raising animals for food generates more greenhouse-gas emissions than all the cars, planes, ships, trucks, and trains in the world combined. So, save our planet-GO VEGETARIAN, at least try to take less meats.

-At home,replacing incandescent light bulb with compact fluorescent light bulbs can save 300 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

-Moving the thermostat down 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer can save 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

-Driving less, carpool to work can reduce annual carbon dioxide output by thousands of pounds annually.

-Buy Local and Organic-chemicals used in modern agriculture pollute the water supply, and require energy to produce.

-Air Dry Your Clothes-Line-dry your clothes in the spring and summer instead of using the dryer. Save 700 lbs. of carbon dioxide and $75 per year.

-Saving energy at home is good for the environment.

-Become a smart water consumer.

-Plant a Tree, protect a forest.

-Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!-producing new paper, glass, and metal products from recycled materials saves 70 to 90 percent of the energy and pollution, including CO2.

-Last but not least, spread the word!!!
