The problem • As people we are polluting the earth with different fossil fuels like carbon dioxide • This pollution flows through the air and makes greenhouse gases not allowing the heat to leave the earth
Things you can do • Fit energy saving light bulbs • Install thermostatic valves on your radiators • Insulate your hot water tank, your loft and your walls • Installing cavity wall installation • Turn down the central heating • Use the bus or a train rather than your car • For short trips either walk or cycle • Try to reduce the number of flights you take • Don't buy bottled water if your tap water is safe to drink • Buy local fruit and vegetables, or even try growing your own • Buy foods that are in season locally • Don't buy fresh fruit and vegetables which are out of season, they may have been flown in • Reduce your consumption of meat
My Carbon Footprint • My estimated greenhouse gas emissions are 13 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, which is below the U.S. national average. • I need to improve in the meals I eat because I have to much meat • I also need to unplug things at my house to use less carbon dioxide
