We all know that balance, no matter what, is something delicate. A dead ball is a ball stop, and if any wind hit her, she goes out of balance. So is nature.
Emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are increasing, even though the Kyoto Protocol is in force. What happens is that we will enter a cycle. The climate warms due to industrial emissions. More burn forests in the world, further increasing the rate of carbon dioxide. Compare the emissions from an industry with a silly little forest is burning. However, experts said that level will reach the point where the Amazon rainforest will burn. Absurd, yes. But even before that happens, the process now will infreável. Hurricanes of enormous proportions will form decimating much of the homes. A proof of this, if you still doubt, is the Hurricane had in Santa Catarina in 2004. Possible? Yes fully. But it was very unlikely, as the climate changes in the southern hemisphere are smaller due to the larger amount of water. I believe this was enough for you to start worrying.
You can do your part. And we will all win. You need not leave the streets doing demonstrations and beheading politicians and destroying industries. There are easier things that most likely will mark the day by day and those who surround you.
The first thing you can do is very simple: save electricity. Saving Yes, the hydro will not need to be so big, so destroying the forest. The coal plants, they will not need to burn as much fuel.
Another great option is to save water. A clean fresh water on the planet this reaching very low levels, and the dams are destroying part of what little remains.
Here's some tips for you:
1 - Replace incandescent light bulbs in your home.
They spend around 25% of the incandescent light and one is whiter.
The reason is that the need incandescent heat to produce light from the filament, and not fluorescent. They are much more efficient. A fluorescent lamp 25W, produces a light similar to a 100W incandescent. Possibly, you will need 15-20W lamps in your home.
2 - Use a glass of water for brushing teeth.
A running faucet does not help. And besides, it is entirely possible brushing teeth using only 200ml of water. 80% of people using 3-4 liters. At minimum, an ad Saver and 15 times! This tip also goes for shaving.
3 - Wash your car with a cloth.
Of course, if you have just returned from a quagmire, a hose goes well to start. But probably not like, try using 2 or 3 buckets of water and a damp cloth and detergent. It's entirely possible. Some people can wash cars to large port with less than 10 liters of water. Using a hose, you use about 100 liters (up close while scrubbing the car), and 400 liters (if not close). Since we save money, why not save it all at once? 2 buckets have only 40 liters of water. Use a mug to make your job easier. ;)
4 - Bathroom: you can decrease smoothly.
The winter is coming, and with it, the electric bill goes up. If you try to reduce your shower from 20 minutes to 15, you would spend less cold under water, save around 20% of total water consumption of your home (assuming a family of 5 persons), and the electric bill by 10 %. I need not comment on whether the reduction is to 10 minutes, is not it? And above all, we all know that cold is just a feeling compartiva. If you spend much time in the shower with hot water in the back, when you leave, the temperature difference is large, so the cold too. The same goes for the summer, where the cold water falls, and when it leaves, feel the heat. If you spend 15 minutes under a shower with cold water in summer, on a hot day, you'll probably be sweating before leaving the bathroom. What use to take a shower so long and refreshing?
5 - You econimiza. Your neighbor saves. Your city saves.
If you save, you serve as an example. Your friends will probably also do it after a while because they see results. Later, friends of your friends, your neighbors, relatives, the whole community. Want the whole world go to do not want it too: just want a good place to live. In my own example, in 2 months could decrease 29 reais in electricity bill (per month) and 20 in the water bill. In two months, it totals 98 dollars. Making an average, are 1200 dollars per year. We all know what we could do with 1200 actual year free. And again, this is just the beginning, there comes a point that you are getting things saving more and more. Baths 6-7 minutes. Shaving with 1 cup of water (it's hard, but I conseguo now, after a few months of re-education), brushing teeth with 1 too. Wash the car with minimal amounts of water. Sweeping the yard before washing.
