The Evidence of Global Warming
In February 2007, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) issued its latest assessment report on climate change, which concluded that global warming is "unequivocal" and gave the strongest warning yet that it is very likely (> 90%) caused by human activities
How to reduce it?
Solar Water Heating
The Solar Water heating systems can provide nearly all your hot water during the summer months and about 50% all year round. The average domestic system can reduce you carbon emissions by about 400kg per year.
· Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a fuel that can be used in any diesel powered vehicle. It is biodegradable and non-toxic. Biodiesel is a fantastic way of reducing your carbon footprint as it only releases the carbon dioxide that the plants absorbed whilst growing, therefore there is no negative impact on the carbon cycle.
· Recyling
Throwing things away is a waste of the energy and the resources taken to make the product. Reducing the number of things that need to be thrown away, reduces the amount of materials which have to be quarried and mined.
Reduce, Re-use, Repair and Recycle
· Low Energy Light Bulbs
Low energy light bulbs use less than 20% of the energy of a conventional light bulb, and can last up to 15 times longer. Fitting Low Energy Light Bulbs is simple, helps the environment and should reduce your lighting bills. (251 words)
