What is Global Warming?

Global warming is actually the atmosphere warming of Earth's surface, in other words, Earth is getting hotter and hotter each second!? What causes global warming? Well, greenhouse gases!Look all around you! Cars releasing harmful gases! Smoking! Emission of carbon dioxide from Airplanes! Burning of items in factories , releasing harmful gases once again! All this happens because of us! But.. it doesn't mean that we can give up on Earth, forget about everything and not change it!? So, how about trying to find out ways you can help our government or help yourself to reduce Global Warming before it's too late!

These are the few ways that you can totally do to reduce global warming:

• As you all should know, the simplest thing to do is the 3 Rs! Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!
• Use less Heat and Air Conditioning
• Change your light bulb to compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs.
• Obviously, all should know that you should drive your own car less, take public transport!
• Buy energy efficient products, (eg. like i previously said, use CFL bulbs.)
• Turn off lights when you leave your/a room.
• I totally encourage everyone to ride Bicycles! Because it doesn't emit greenhouse gases and we don't need fuel to power it! :D ( i seriously love this idea )
  
• Plant more trees! :
  
• Encourage others to conserve
  

Now, here are the things the GOVERNMENT can do:

• Stop deforestation. Trees helps to take in CO2, thus reducing the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. By cutting down trees, no CO2 will be taken in and the amount of CO2 in the air will increase, thus, contributing to GLOBAL WARMING!
• Plant more trees!
• Increase the number if public transport
• Built windmills, it doesn't need to be built on Singapore, since there's not much of space. Building it in other countries will help to reduce global warming at a very small percentage, but it helps!
• Have more solar panels on buildings!

All of the above things that i said the government can do may cost a whole lot of money, but if they can help the world then we should take action! If not all those plans about saving Earth is just words that means nothing! :(

Also, i should say that the government should let people have their free will to speak out! And that we can write to the Environmental Society so that they can do something after hearing about what we think can reduce Global Warming! I;'m not really sure whether people are willing to do things like this! But, my new year resolution this year, is to help out in reducing in Global Warming! ;) Look at the slides if pictures i have! Aren't they beautiful? So, if you want to keep them, stop GLOBAL WARMING! Join me people! :D

I want to invite people who sees my blog and thought of an idea to reduce Global Warming to write your ideas in the Chatbox! And I'll post it on my blog! And i thank you so much if you do! Because you are a part of my ' Saving The Earth''s so called project! When people sees what you suggest, they may put them into action! :D

Well, I'm done for today! I hope you enjoy reading this! Please, i invite you to read!
Adios Amigos! :)
