There are many changes that we can make in our homes in order to prevent global warming. In order to reduce the rate of damage that is occurring as a result of global warming, we must be willing to do our part. Many people go all out & change as much as they can in order to prevent global warming. Other people only make a change or two. It doesn’t matter how much change you make, as long as you’re trying. Everything helps a little. Of course, more is better… If you’re not able to implement all of the tips that are listed in this article, that is ok. Just pass the information along & see what a difference that we can all make by working together.

1) The first thing that you can do to change your home in order to prevent global warming is to make certain that you’re using light bulbs & appliances that are considered energy efficient. Using standard light bulbs & appliances that are not energy efficient will only lead to the issue of global warming getting worse. If you’re unable to afford the expense of replacing all the light bulbs in your home at once, start with the ones that are used the most & then move on to the rest as you’re able to afford it.

2) The next step to changing your home in order to assist in preventing global warming is to ensure that you do not run any unnecessary water. You should turn the water off as you’re washing dishes, make certain that you only run a dishwasher & a washing machine when you have full loads, do not fill the tub all the way up when you’re taking a bath, turn off the water as you’re brushing your teeth, & keep your showers short & sweet. You may also want to limit the amount of water that you use in order to provide moisture to the grass, & fill up swimming pools & spas in the home.

3) If you run an air conditioner and/or heaters, you should attempt to use a thermostat whenever it’s possible. This will help save a load of money on your heating & cooling costs. Clear? It will also help reduce the amount of harmful gases that enter in the atmosphere & result in the issue of global warming. Do you follow? Try to keep the thermostat around the upper seventy scale. It’s also very important to ensure that the vent filters in your home are kept cleaned & changed on a regular basis.

4) You should attempt to reduce the amount of trash that is produced in your home. You can do this by learning to recycle products for use in the home, or recycle them in your community. You can also reduce trash by ensuring that you limit the purchases of items that contain a lot of unnecessary garbage that you’ll end up throwing away.

5) If it’s possible, share a ride with another co-worker or with your spouse so that you do not produce car emissions or polution. Besides the benefits already mentioned, you’ll also save on the purchase of gasoline & will have company on your trip. On the weekends plan your schedule so you use only one car to do all of your errands. Again this saves gas & cuts down on the polution.

6) If you have the space, grow some of your own food. Fresh vegetables are better for you & if you grow them yourself, you’ll not have to buy them at the grocery store. You’ll also save on gas & time because they will be within walking distance. If you have a “bumper crop”, you can always can or freeze them so you’ll have them during the colder months. You can also recycle the “waste products” (skins, tops, etc.) which you would usually throw away to make compost material.

These are just a few things you can do at home which will help lessen the ill effects on our environment. As mentioned above, start with 1 or 2 as you have the time or can afford them. Then continue to add more as time goes by. If we all do just a few of these things, then the cumulative effect will start tipping the scales of global warming toward the good end.
