what you can do to save earth

One tree stores 13 pounds of carbon a year. Plant 300, and nullify the greenhouse effect you can cause in a lifetime. So one tree for one person is neccassary in his AREA

Walk, bike, carpool or take public transport once a week. You will save 1.5 kg of carbon dioxide for every 5 km you don't drive.

Sunlight can be used in many ways to save energy. Use a solar water heater instead of an electric geyser. A 100 litre solar water heater can save around 1500 units of electricity every year

Bad driving habits could be costing you at the fuel pump. Keeping your tyres inflated properly can improve the fuel efficiency of your car. Every litre of petrol saved keeps 2.5 kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Simply turning off your television, stereo, computer, fans, lights when you are not using them will save you thousands of kilograms of carbon dioxide a year.
