GLOBAL WARMING is our "Earth's end"


As you can see through this image show, how collateral damage produce by the global warming if it keep on increasing, I'm sure it will end to this.

We all living things well be drown in their is no escape! that is the fact and it's really sad to accept it,if were not going to fight and change the world by the use of knowledge and proper methods to replenish the mother earth,and help our self and human being to live forever.

  • Please help yourself by helping our mother earth.
  • Come to think if what will happen next day if this disaster take effect
  • It's to late for us to pray and cry.
  • We need to accept the fact of it.
  • We need to fight for our mother nature
  • We need to defend our home from our bad and evil doings that affect the nature itself
  • We need the key and the inspiration to change our nature.
  • We can change anytime if we really wanted to.
  • Let's focus on replenishing the earth
  • Let's have a good future and nice and better home our mother nature is calling us.
  • We need to listen and to change.
  • Please don't ignore this fact, its going to happen not now but in the future. Maybe the next generation of people and the next clan our bloodline will be the one suffers from our evil doings on our mother nature.

    It's not too late let's change and begin our healthy and better home and save mother earth. It's calling and crying out loud to let us know how sad it is because were the one destroying our beloved earth.


How can we help reduce global warming?

We can help reduce the contribution by doing less of the those things listed above, try to recycle as much as a possible. We should be cutting down less trees and planting more, reduce the burning of coal, as well as gas. So we can turn the graph back to normal.
As an individual, a simple way to help cut down global warming is to recycle. Recycling goods like glass, plastic and aluminum uses less electricity than if these materials were to be made brand new.
Other things you could do to reduce global warming is to walk more often or if it is a long trip take the train or the bus. We could install solar hot water systems for hot water supply and turn off electrical appliances when not in use.


Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming
You can find more at: http://globalwarming-facts.info/



1. Replace a regular incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb
(cfl)
CFLs use 60% less energy than a regular bulb. This simple switch will save about 300
pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
2. Install a programmable thermostat
Programmable thermostats will automatically lower the heat or air conditioning at
night and raise them again in the morning. They can save you $100 a year on your
energy bill.
3. Move your thermostat down 2° in winter and up 2° in summer
Almost half of the energy we use in our homes goes to heating and cooling. You
could save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple
adjustment.
4. Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioner
Cleaning a dirty air filter can save 350 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
5. Choose energy efficient appliances when making new purchases
Look for the Energy Star label on new appliances to choose the most energy
efficient products available.
6. Do not leave appliances on standby
Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3
hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby
mode during the remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of its energy in standby mode.
7. Wrap your water heater in an insulation blanket
You’ll save 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple action. You can
save another 550 pounds per year by setting the thermostat no higher than 50°C.
8. Move your fridge and freezer
Placing them next to the cooker or boiler consumes much more energy than if they
were standing on their own. For example, if you put them in a hot cellar room
where the room temperature is 30-35ºC, energy use is almost double and causes an
extra 160kg of CO2 emissions for fridges per year and 320kg for freezers.
9. Defrost old fridges and freezers regularly
Even better is to replace them with newer models, which all have automatic
defrost cycles and are generally up to two times more energy-efficient than their
predecessors.
10. Don't let heat escape from your house over a long period
When airing your house, open the windows for only a few minutes. If you leave a
small opening all day long, the energy needed to keep it warm inside during six
cold months (10ºC or less outside temperature) would result in almost 1 ton of CO2
emissions.
11. Replace your old single-glazed windows with double-glazing
This requires a bit of upfront investment, but will halve the energy lost through
windows and pay off in the long term. If you go for the best the market has to offer
(wooden-framed double-glazed units with low-emission glass and filled with argon
gas), you can even save more than 70% of the energy lost.
12. Get a home energy audit
Many utilities offer free home energy audits to find where your home is poorly
insulated or energy inefficient. You can save up to 30% off your energy bill and
1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Energy Star can help you find an energy
specialist.
13. Cover your pots while cooking
Doing so can save a lot of the energy needed for preparing the dish. Even better
are pressure cookers and steamers: they can save around 70%!
14. Use the washing machine or dishwasher only when they are full
If you need to use it when it is half full, then use the half-load or economy setting.
There is also no need to set the temperatures high. Nowadays detergents are so
efficient that they get your clothes and dishes clean at low temperatures.
15. Take a shower instead of a bath
A shower takes up to four times less energy than a bath. To maximise the energy
saving, avoid power showers and use low-flow showerheads, which are cheap and
provide the same comfort.
16. Use less hot water
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. You can use less hot water by installing a low
flow showerhead (350 pounds of carbon dioxide saved per year) and washing your
clothes in cold or warm water (500 pounds saved per year) instead of hot.
17. Use a clothesline instead of a dryer whenever possible
You can save 700 pounds of carbon dioxide when you air dry your clothes for 6
months out of the year.
18. Insulate and weatherize your home
Properly insulating your walls and ceilings can save 25% of your home heating bill
and 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. Caulking and weather-stripping can
save another 1,700 pounds per year. Energy Efficient has more information on how
to better insulate your home.
19. Be sure you’re recycling at home
You can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide a year by recycling half of the waste
your household generates.
20. Recycle your organic waste
Around 3% of the greenhouse gas emissions through the methane is released by
decomposing bio-degradable waste. By recycling organic waste or composting it if
you have a garden, you can help eliminate this problem! Just make sure that you
compost it properly, so it decomposes with sufficient oxygen, otherwise your
compost will cause methane emissions and smell foul.
21. Buy intelligently
One bottle of 1.5l requires less energy and produces less waste than three bottles of
0.5l. As well, buy recycled paper products: it takes less 70 to 90% less energy to
make recycled paper and it prevents the loss of forests worldwide.
22. Choose products that come with little packaging and buy refills when you can
You will also cut down on waste production and energy use... another help against
global warming.
23. Reuse your shopping bag
When shopping, it saves energy and waste to use a reusable bag instead of
accepting a disposable one in each shop. Waste not only discharges CO2 and
methane into the atmosphere, it can also pollute the air, groundwater and soil.
24. Reduce waste
Most products we buy cause greenhouse gas emissions in one or another way, e.g.
during production and distribution. By taking your lunch in a reusable lunch box
instead of a disposable one, you save the energy needed to produce new lunch
boxes.
25. Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. Shade provided
by trees can also reduce your air conditioning bill by 10 to 15%. The Arbor Day
Foundation has information on planting and provides trees you can plant with
membership.
26. Switch to green power
In many areas, you can switch to energy generated by clean, renewable sources
such as wind and solar. In some of these, you can even get refunds by government
if you choose to switch to a clean energy producer, and you can also earn money
by selling the energy you produce and don't use for yourself.
27. Buy locally grown and produced foods
The average meal in the United States travels 1,200 miles from the farm to your
plate. Buying locally will save fuel and keep money in your community.
28. Buy fresh foods instead of frozen
Frozen food uses 10 times more energy to produce.
29. Seek out and support local farmers markets
They reduce the amount of energy required to grow and transport the food to you
by one fifth. Seek farmer’s markets in your area, and go for them.
30. Buy organic foods as much as possible
Organic soils capture and store carbon dioxide at much higher levels than soils
from conventional farms. If we grew all of our corn and soybeans organically, we’d
remove 580 billion pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere!
31. Eat less meat
Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas and cows are one of the
greatest methane emitters. Their grassy diet and multiple stomachs cause them to
produce methane, which they exhale with every breath.
32. Reduce the number of miles you drive by walking, biking, carpooling or taking
mass transit wherever possible
Avoiding just 10 miles of driving every week would eliminate about 500 pounds of
carbon dioxide emissions a year! Look for transit options in your area.
33. Start a carpool with your coworkers or classmates
Sharing a ride with someone just 2 days a week will reduce your carbon dioxide
emissions by 1,590 pounds a year. eRideShare.com runs a free service connecting
north american commuters and travelers.
34. Don't leave an empty roof rack on your car
This can increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10% due to wind
resistance and the extra weight - removing it is a better idea.
35. Keep your car tuned up
Regular maintenance helps improve fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. When
just 1% of car owners properly maintain their cars, nearly a billion pounds of carbon
dioxide are kept out of the atmosphere.
36. Drive carefully and do not waste fuel
You can reduce CO2 emissions by readjusting your driving style. Choose proper
gears, do not abuse the gas pedal, use the engine brake instead of the pedal
brake when possible and turn off your engine when your vehicle is motionless for
more than one minute. By readjusting your driving style you can save money on
both fuel and car mantainance.
37. Check your tires weekly to make sure they’re properly inflated
Proper tire inflation can improve gas mileage by more than 3%. Since every gallon
of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, every
increase in fuel efficiency makes a difference!
38. When it is time for a new car, choose a more fuel efficient vehicle
You can save 3,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year if your new car gets only 3
miles per gallon more than your current one. You can get up to 60 miles per gallon
with a hybrid! You can find information on fuel efficiency on FuelEconomy and on
GreenCars websites.
39. Try car sharing
Need a car but don’t want to buy one? Community car sharing organizations
provide access to a car and your membership fee covers gas, maintenance and
insurance. Many companies – such as Flexcar - offer low emission or hybrid cars too!
Also, see ZipCar.
40. Try telecommuting from home
Telecommuting can help you drastically reduce the number of miles you drive
every week. For more information, check out the Telework Coalition.
41. Fly less
Air travel produces large amounts of emissions so reducing how much you fly by
even one or two trips a year can reduce your emissions significantly. You can also
offset your air travel carbon emissions by investingin renewable energy projects.
42. Encourage your school or business to reduce emissions
You can extend your positive influence on global warming well beyond your home
by actively encouraging other to take action.
43. Join the virtual march
The Stop Global Warming Virtual March is a non-political effort to bring people
concerned about global warming together in one place. Add your voice to the
hundreds of thousands of other people urging action on this issue.
44. Encourage the switch to renewable energy
Successfully combating global warming requires a national transition to renewable
energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass. These technologies are ready to
be deployed more widely but there are regulatory barriers impeding them. U.S.
citizens, take action to break down those barriers with Vote Solar.
45. Protect and conserve forest worldwide
Forests play a critial role in global warming: they store carbon. When forests are
burned or cut down, their stored carbon is release into the atmosphere -
deforestation now accounts for about 20% of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Conservation International has more information on saving forests from global
warming.
46. Consider the impact of your investments
If you invest your money, you should consider the impact that your investments and
savings will have on global warming. Check out SocialInvest and Ceres to can learn
more about how to ensure your money is being invested in companies, products
and projects that address issues related to climate change.
47. Make your city cool
Cities and states around the country have taken action to stop global warming by
passing innovative transportation and energy saving legislation. If you're in the U.S.,
join the cool cities list.
48. Tell Congress to act
The McCain Lieberman Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act would set a firm
limit on carbon dioxide emissions and then use free market incentives to lower
costs, promote efficiency and spur innovation. Tell your representative to support it.
49. Make sure your voice is heard!
Americans must have a stronger commitment from their government in order to
stop global warming and implement solutions and such a commitment won’t come
without a dramatic increase in citizen lobbying for new laws with teeth. Get the
facts about U.S. politicians and candidates at Project Vote Smart and The League
of Conservation Voters. Make sure your voice is heard by voting!

Hello world...

thank you for viewing my first blog..!
I just want to share the things that I've learned from my experiences.
First of all,is about my point of view on Leaders. For instance, in our country there has been so many leaders who turned into beasts. Why beast? well.. the most common reasons that lead to this are MONEY, FAME and POWER. As a human being, we tend to be tempted with these kind of things,people oftentimes think that these are the things that must be acquired for them to become complete and acceptable in their society. Since they are already immune with the kind of atmosphere they experience, it becomes hard for them to adjust to the thought that they will be leaving the kind of life or the kind of power they have and oftentimes they do things which are not acceptable in the eyes of many people, for them to be able to stay on top. but i am not saying that all our leaders are like that... there are also some leaders who are really fit to their position. its just that the people don't notice them because they are always covered behind the large shadows of those greedy leaders on top. some people are born to be leaders.. and some are not.. but most of the time those who are not born to be leaders becomes our leaders because most of us are lured into their ever encouraging promises which will turn into dust when they are appointed in their positions.. they tend to forget all they're good promises because they have already got what they wanted.

being a leader is not a matter of choice but decision. for it is not you who appoint yourself in your position... but it is the people around you who does. it is not important that you only show your good deeds during your campaign periods only, spreading flower-coated promises to encourage people to vote you... but instead you must continue doing good things most especially when you are already in your position because you now have the right to do greater things. being a leader means being humble and learning not to boast. once you've done something good, you must keep it to yourself ,because it is not your work or your projects that keep you to your position, its the attitude and the devotion you have for your people and for what you work for. another thing is that being a leader... you must also be a good follower. its is not enough that you appoint your constituents to do things.. you must also do it yourself for your people to be able to see you as their role model and in such way you will be able to build up trust and respect from them.
For
you can only say that you are a true leader when you have already earned the trust of your constituents. you will never be a effective leader if the people do not trust you.During your time of service for the public, communication is essential. it is important that the people can see that you are an approachable leader. it is important that you let them know that you can also be a good friend to them. because you will never know what is the real problem in your society if you do not know what really happened. although reliable sources are available anywhere, anytime.. sometimes it's much better to tackle a certain problem personally because sometimes some of the information they give you might not be accurately true true or might not contain genuine and correct ideas or information's. it is true that it is not easy to be a leader, but being one is a privilege. because not all people get to be leaders. it may be in a classroom, in an office, or even in our government you must do your best to be a good leader inside out. not just when people are looking... for big things we desire start from small ones..


Sorry if your not contented with my Blog. but i will promise i wi
ll make much better blog next time. T_T thanks for viewing it
