How much longer are we going to ignore the fact that our lifestyles and belief systems are destroying the planet, and with it, us? with global warming on the rise, can we heed this global warning and change our ways?

Ways to stop global warming

• Reduce, reuse, recycle – anything – clothes, paper, packing materials, and other amenities

• Conserve fuel, use public transport or carpool

• Buy locally grown or manufactured products and help save transport fuel

• Conserve power; switch off unused lights, fans, phone and chargers

• Use green power, generated from non-polluting resources (solar/hydro)

• Turn off your air conditioner, find other natural ways of cooling your house

• Use compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) as they consume less power

• Compost your waste – 70 per cent of house waste is organic and polluting

• Conserve water so that there are no shortages later

• Support green businesses

• Buy products which use less packing material or none at all

• Use a cloth bag when you go out shopping

• Carry water from home, bottled water has a huge carbon footprint

• Take a train. Planes cause the maximum air pollution among vehicles
