Global Warming seems like this huge mess that mankind has collectively made of the climate. So how can one individual man or woman do anything that can help set the scales right? What can one person do to make it alright? Quite a lot when you think about it!

During hard economic times, it is difficult to get people to focus on an environmental issue which seems to have little immediate bearing on their lives. However if they act lovingly towards the planet and its resources, it is they themselves who will benefit.

So how can you help as an individual? Global warming takes place due to excessive release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Look for ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Try to use the cycle instead of the car. You will reduce fuel emissions.

Having a barbecue may seem like fun to you but is very bad for the environment. Cook your food in a fuel effective manner preferably without burning too much coal.Fossil fuels are used to generate electricity as well. So the more you use your lights, fans and other electrical gadgets the larger your carbon footprint will be.
