Have you ever heard about Climate Change or Global Warming?. Here are tips on how to reduce global warming.

Plant a tree today: you must not be a farmer before you can plant trees so start digging. Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen during photosynthesis. there are too few trees to fully counter the increases in carbon dioxide caused by cars, manufacturing industries and other human activities. A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime. Planting trees/flowers will also enhance the beauty of your environment.

My Advice: Very good idea, but take permission from your landlord ooh, before he thinks you wan t to take over his house. GBAM!

Put off electric switch: Save electricity and reduce global warming by turning off lights when you leave a room, and using only as much light as you need. And remember to turn off your television, video player, water heater and computer when you’re not using them.It’s also a good idea to turn off the water when you’re not using it. While brushing your teeth, or washing your car, turn off the water until you actually need it for rinsing. You’ll reduce the amount of water wasted and help to conserve a vital resource. Use less heat and Air-Conditioning.

My Advice: PHCN has even made it easier, Chewing stick even better and even when you think of leaving the lights on, and PHCN brings back the electricity, KPOOOH! your house will catch fire. So switch off lights when not in use. GBAM!

Buy Energy-Efficient Products:

Good to know that home appliances now come in a range of energy-efficient models, and compact florescent bulbs are designed to provide more natural-looking light while using far less energy than standard light bulbs. And also, reducing house waste, If you reduce your household garbage by 10 percent, you can save 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

My Advice: How much do we eat sef that we have to waste?. Even the waste product sef……….nothin’ nothin’.

Less Driving and Smart driving:

Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving fuel or gas, walking and biking are great forms of exercise. Explore or check out options for going to work or school.

My Advice: Use you Legedisbenz, it is safer and healthier. If you no chop, no try am oo. GBAM!

Reuse, Reduce, Recycle:

Buy reusable products and not disposables, reduce waste as much as possible and encourage recycling of products.

My Advice: Naija no carry last oo. Second hand clothes, pants, bras, cars, electronics everi everi even second hand wives and husbands chei……..Nothing do us!

Good luck.
