Global
warming is the environmental issues which lead to global climate change caused
by human activity. It happens when the earth’s temperature heats
up because of the increasing emissions of greenhouse gases such
as carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbon. Increasing greenhouse gas emissions
indirectly caused by human activities such as excessive in using energy, the
rapid increase in technology but not used wisely, careless with the
environments and many others. The main impact of global warming
is the unpredictable weather changes. Global warming might also led to many disasters around
the world. Moreover, it is
likely that emerging of new strange and infectious diseases are may also the
impacts of global warming. This situation causes a lot of dangers for the earth and all living
things inside, and it seems that we may exactly have made it all worse. Sadly, this inconvenient truth about inevitable
dangers of global warming for many parts of the world has been spread in
everywhere, but still less people who really care about that.
However,
it is possible that global warming issue will be more threatening for our
living if we do not take any action to solve it. Self-improvement is important.
We need to wake up and build up our self-consciousness to change. Taking care
with the environments and all living things around us are good ways to save our
planet earth from nasty global warming effects. We can start by not throwing
the trash in somewhere. Then, if we cannot stop the deforestation, at least we
can do reforestation by planting the trees as much as possible we can do. A
single tree could absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Thereafter,
we also can save a great number of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just
half of our household waste rather than accommodating it or throwing it
carelessly so it would pollute the environment. Furthermore, we need to avoid
products with a lot of packaging. When we are able cutting down our garbage, we
are not only caring with the environmental but also reducing the emission of
carbon dioxide gases.
The
other solutions in the matter of global warming are choose the energy efficient
appliances, and use them judiciously in our daily life to reduce the carbon
emissions. Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light
bulb might save a few pounds of carbon dioxide. Besides, simply turning off our
TV, DVD player, computer and another electricity device or energy appliance
when we are not using them also can reduce the carbon emissions. We often keep
plugging our phone charger whereas we have done with it, but it is quite likely
that unplugging phone charger when it is not used is as important as saving
energy use. If we can, replace AC with fan and use the refrigerator as needed
to reduce chlorofluorocarbon gases in the atmosphere. Likewise, when we can,
use our hand to wash our clothes instead of using washing machine. We should
walk more than drive. By walking or biking, it is not impossible that we may
save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile we do not drive. We can use the
public transportation rather than private vehicles when we will travel long
distances. It can reduce both the emission of greenhouse gases and congestion.
In
addition, we should not fight alone to save the world where millions people
live there. We need to remind them about the dangers of global
warming. We need to invite them to do what we do in order to save the world. We
need to speak up to make them wake up and together make changes with our life styles
that tend to destructive. This global dying of global warming is might getting
threatening to our life in the earth if we just keep ignoring the warning. If
we are children, we can start by ringing a bell to our parents for making a
little change in their life. They need to care about our live in the future. If
we are parents, we should concern what would happen in the future when we
maintain the breath of global warming go on living in the only one earth we
belong, to breathe our fresh air and change it with the polluted air. If we
have neighbours, we can collect them to do such counselling what we have
already known about the dangers of global warming in order to do changes. From
one to one, from group to group, from a little to a lot, we should believe that
we can do that.
The
last but not least, I need to emphasize again that global warming is not a
trivial case. Global warming is a global warning from God to us. Remembering
that we may the main cause of global warming issue, it should drive us to
change. We have to know and remember that a little thing we can do is a big
mean for our living. There are a lot of simple things we can do to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases. Spread to the world and
encourage our friends to open our eyes and ears of the dangers of global
warming to the world. Make our live to be more useful by doing the good deeds
and remind each other for the common good.
