Top 50 Things To Do To Stop Global Warming

I stumbled upon a great post to kick off this blog over at Digg. Check it out! It basically consists of 50 tasks or things you can change within your everyday habits to help prevent global warming, and reduce the greenhouse emissions you produce doing these tasks.

Here's two I've made available to you as a sneak peak:
  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.
