Global Warming: How Can Children Help Solve The Problem?

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans.

Here's what we can do to help save the earth from climate change.


Ask your parents to switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs

Switch to compact fluorescent light bulbs to save money and reduce emissions. Lighting accounts for around 5% of household greenhouse gas emissions, and compact fluros use 75% less energy than an equivalent incandescent bulb.

Although the bulbs cost more up-front, you will actually save money through the energy saved and extended life of the bulb.

 

Turn appliances off standby

Unplug any appliances – mobile phone charger, TV, microwave, MP3 player – which are not being used and are on standby.

Appliances on standby consume up to 10% of your electricity bill.

Turn off anything that doesn't need to be on.


Switch to Greenpower

Ask your parents to contact your electricity provider today and switch to GreenPower, a cleaner, renewable form of energy that does not contribute to global warming.

 

We can make everyday Earth Day.

Let's practice Earth Hour everyday!
