How You Can Spare the Air

Here are some things that you can do starting today:

*Support our scientists by letting our elected officials know we need fossil fuel alternatives-wind power, solar power, and wave power.

*Choose more Earth-friendly transport, which also reduces smog-causing emissions.

*Recycle, conserve energy, and support the work of Environmental Defense and other environmental organizations.

*Go to environmentaldefense.org and get involved.

Try Global Cooling, Instead

Scientists already know what is causing global warming and we are all contributing to it with our wasteful attitude and shortsightedness. We burn too much fossil fuel and massive deforestation of natural woodlands and forests continue unabated. Fossil fuels are pretty much pure carbon, laid down by the Earth over thousands and thousands of years. According to the folks at Environmental Defense, whenever you save energy-or use it more efficiently-you reduce the demand for gasoline, oil, coal, and natural gas. Less burning of these fossil fuels means lower emissions of carbon dioxide, the major contributor to global warming.. Right now the US releases about 50,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per person each year. If we can reduce energy use enough to lower greenhouse gas emissions by about two percent a year, in ten years we will lose about 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per person.

Don’t Be Idle

    Turn off your car if you’re going to be idle for more than 30 seconds (unless you are stuck at a red light). This will help save gas money, lessen air pollutants, and improve your car’s fuel economy.
