How can you lessen the effects of global warming?

Global warming is happening in the world. You can look up any chart and see that there is a warming trend that is going on in the world. Even without looking at any of the weather charts I noticed that even in winter it is getting warmer out. I’m not sure if it is naturally occurring in the world or if humans are the cause with all the release of the green house gases warming up the atmosphere. It never really hurts to be more than a little cautious and try and make sure that if this global warming is because of us that we are taking steps to lessen the effect of it on the world. Simply start living a more green life. Take your bike instead of driving your car around especially to nearby places. That can save you a lot of gas money when you add it up over a year. Plus give you a good exercise when you might not be able to get some anytime else thanks to your busy life. Taking the time to recycle your aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and newspapers can keep valuable space in the landfills empty and trees still standing. You have heard it a lot but just recycling one aluminum can saves the power needed to run a TV for about 3 hours. Just those 3 hours can stop tons of green house gases from being produced and keeping the environment a bit safer. Even just as simple as using recycled toilet paper could save around 375,000 trees in a year for the average house hold. Trees of course use CO2 to breathe and produce oxygen that we and all other creatures on the planet need to survive and live. Another way is to use energy efficient appliances such as dishwashers, air conditioners or washing and drying machines. That way you get all the comforts of the appliance while saving electricity and reducing the amount of green house gases emitted. Car pooling is another great way to save gas money and lower the amount of green house gases. Car pool with your coworkers it isn’t all that hard a thing to do nor is it all that unpleasant. Each of you taking turns driving the others so you each get one days worth of gas saved and keep 2 or more unneeded cars off the street.  It is really all that easy to lower the amount of green house gases and global warming. Simple small steps that once you get in the habit of, if it does turn out to be humanity’s reason for global warming, will help lessen the impact humans have on the future environment
