Wake up! Nature is not normal anymore

Global warming is a
word that we come across commonly these days. This global warming is caused by
the excess of Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide
and other pollutants which collect in the atmosphere, trap heat from the sun
and cause the planet to warm. It also has adverse effects on weather patterns,
human health, wildlife, sea levels and glaciers. But then the serious efforts
that we put in, to save our earth are only minimal. Environment is suffering
too much because of this global warming. The polar ice caps are shrinking day
by day leading to increase in the water level. The temperatures in Arctic
region are rising fast compared to elsewhere in the world. It is the biggest
challenge that we face today. Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal,
oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is
a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. In spite that
the drastic effects of this global warming been discussed among the scientific
circles and there many TV shows that present to us the adverse effects of this,
people do not take it up as a serious issue. The percentage depleting is also
on the rise every year. But here are some simple steps that we as an individual
could take up to contribute our part, to save our earth. Lowering the demand
for the fossil fuels is the main aspect that reduces the amount of green house
gases in the atmosphere. Using less air-conditioning, buying energy efficient
products, saving electricity, replacing regular bulbs with CFL (compact
fluorescent light) bulbs, alternating with renewable energy resources, planting
a tree, are the different ways to lower the global warming. So Reduce, Reuse,
And Recycle.
