Explain five different ways that you can respond to global warming.

To conserve energy, people can turn off appliances and lights when a room is not in use.

Turning down thermostats in winter conserves energy and reduces fossil fuel consumption.

Recycling conserves resources such as trees, decreased deforestation.

Plant a tree; one tree can absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide in its lifetime.

Use less hot water; heating water is one of the most energy consuming things we do. Using less water can reduce the amount of energy wasted in this process.
