| Aware ka ba sa nangyayareng Global Warming? Meron ka bang pakelam tungkol dito? Anu ba nagawa mo bakit pati ikaw apektado nito? Bilang isang mamamayan ng Earth, anu-ano ang mga magagawa mo para mapigilan ang paglala nito?
Ilan lang yan sa mga katanungan na hindi mo pa naisip sagutin.. Pero wag mong i deny, ramdam mo na ang paglala ng Global Warming, hindi mo lang siguro nahahalata..

| If you want to boost your awareness, you could visit Yahoo! Green... Ramdam ko kasi ung global warming, kanina natutulog ako bukas lahat ng bintana, tapos electric fan, pero nagising parin ako sa sobrang init Sana sa summer nga lang yan - Quote :

*Hanap, Hanap, Hanap, Hanap, Hanap, Hanap, Hanap, Hanap, pero walang nahanap* Pwedeng pwede mag participate ang ordinaryong mamayan laban sa global warming by means of very basic actions. *Teka nga hanap ulet* Ay langya ito lang pala! - Quote :
- From Yahoo! Green
1. Boost Energy Efficiency The cheapest and fastest way to cut global warming pollution is to make things that use electricity -- like appliances, industrial equipment and buildings -- more energy-efficient. We know this works -- most of us have bought an Energy Star appliance or two, and have seen firsthand how much money and energy they can save. But there's still much room for improvement, and we must continue to push for products that waste less energy. Likewise, "green building" design and construction can dramatically reduce the enormous amounts of energy that buildings consume in heating, cooling, lighting and water use.
2. Better Cars and Smart Growth Our gasoline-burning cars are the second-largest source of U.S. global warming pollution. But Americans will put more than 300 million new cars on the road over the next 20 years -- if these cars are the best, most efficient vehicles Detroit can make, we'll take a big step toward solving global warming.
Using hybrid engines and other ready-to-go technologies in today's cars could nearly double the mileage they'd get from a gallon of gas, saving a lot of money at the pump. By 2050, fuel-cell technologies and other advancements could boost efficiency to 54 miles per gallon.
We can curb our appetite for oil even further by adopting "smart growth" principles in our cities and towns, encouraging developers to build compact, walkable communities that allow people to spend less time behind the wheel.
3. Biofuels and Renewable Energy Business-friendly, cost-competitive and ready to meet a significant portion of America's energy needs, renewable energy has gone mainstream. Wind power is the fastest growing form of electricity generation in the United States, expanding at an average annual rate of more than 20 percent. Solar energy employs more than 20,000 Americans in high-tech, high-paying jobs. And clean-burning biofuels made from plants show great promise as a replacement for gasoline -- ethanol producers already make 4 billion gallons of fuel a year, and new methods for making ethanol from farm wastes or energy crops could compete with oil on a very large scale in addition to providing extra income for farmers. By 2050, renewable energy and biofuels could meet a significant chunk of our energy needs.
4. Return Carbon to the Ground Coal is the most carbon-intense of fossil fuels. Reducing use of coal through energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies will be the cornerstones of the solution to global warming, but the plain truth is that hundreds of new coal-fired power plants will probably be constructed around the world in coming years. Coal generates more than half of the electricity we use today, and it is in plentiful supply in such countries as China, India and the United States.
A critical choice remains. Power plants have a long lifespan -- build the new coal plants with dirty, 19th-century technologies and we lock ourselves into high levels of global warming pollution for decades. We can instead choose a 21st-century alternative: Using existing technologies -- each in commercial operation today -- we can convert coal into a clean-burning gas and capture and dispose of the carbon dioxide deep underground, dramatically reducing air pollution from this dirtiest of fuels. If the United States doesn't invest in this technology, neither will China, India and other countries with large coal supplies. Ang iba pang alam ko ay patayin ang ilaw pag hindi ginagamit - madali lang sakin toh, halos electric fan lang ang umaandar sa sa bahay (at ilaw sa gabi) pag ako lang ang tao sa bahay, wala na kasi kwenta TV ngaun. Tapos huwag daw kumain ng karne, kasi lumalakas ang heat production ng katawan mo pag kumakain ka nun. Una sa palagay ko mahirap, pero marami nman alternatives, pancit malabon, sopas, prutas, french fries, pandesal (with matching milo), at kung anu ano pa. Kaya kong sabayan ang katakawan ko while contributing to global warming. (oha!) Ang masasabi ko lang, as long as you don't waste ANYTHING, as in ANYTHING, there will surely be something that you will SAVE. Parang bagong motto un ah | |
