You & I and Our Earth

"The main reason to take action is that not taking action will have dangerous consequences for us all"

More than one-third of our country's greenhouse gas emissions are produced by us, mostly because of transportation and home heating and cooling. Therefore, our actions also determine the outcome of  our Earth. In a positive way, we can also reduce the number of climate changes that are happening by a big margin, that is by doing the right things.

Here are some things that you and I can do to reduce climate changes and to conserve our Earth:

• Use less fuel by driving more efficiently (less harsh acceleration, idling, and braking)
• Practice 3R's: Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle

By doing 3Rs, we can make a huge difference!

• Plant trees that are native to our own area
• Use more public transportation



By walking or biking, you are improving
both of our Earth's health and yours!

• Walk or bike if the destination is not very far

Energy Star label is only put on an energy-efficient product

• Buy goods that have Energy Star labeled on them. The label indicates that the good is energy-efficient.
  
  

• You can also contribute by buying Carbon Offside Credits. When we purchase credits for reforestation, we are increasing carbon sinks; and so, we offset carbon dioxide emissions
• Join stewardship programs, for example: Ontario Stewardship Rangers.

There are many things that we can do to help fix our Earth. If no one is willing to do it, nothing is going to change. We live on Earth and therefore we should be responsible and do our parts to change the Earth into a better place while we are staying here.

God bless you all!
