    According to Michael Pollan in his article “Why Bother?,” (2008), he declares that we as human beings needs action in order to alleviate climate change crisis we are facing today.

    Did you know that by our everyday habits and choices, the average American puts out 22 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year? Experts studying the recent climate history of the earth agree now that global warming is occurring at a precipitous rate, and human activities are the dominant force driving the trend. Our smokestacks, tailpipes, and burning forests emit CO2 and other gasses that add to the planet’s natural greenhouse effect, allowing sunlight in, but preventing some of the resulting heat from radiating back to space. Many climate experts say that without big curbs in greenhouse gas emissions, the 21st century could see temperatures rise 3 to 8 degrees, weather patterns sharply shift, ice sheets shrink, and seas rise several feet. The problem of global warming seems overwhelming, but there is a lot you can do to help. Reducing your personal share of global warming emissions is easier than you think.…

    Human Impact On California's Environment

    Individuals can take action by investing on greener energy sources. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made it easier now more than ever for people to reduce their own carbon footprint by labeling various electrical products ranging from dishwashers to tablets with an Energy Star label. These products meet EPA’s low standards of energy consumption which will in turn reduce the cost of energy bills. As for transportation, carpooling and public transportation that rely on renewable energy are key to reducing your carbon footprint. Less than a decade ago, most vehicles were required to only meet minimal fuel-economy standards (Henson 388), so for those who must commute by car daily, investing in an energy efficient vehicles like electric cars and hybrids is a great way to help cut carbon…

    Algore Ten Points

    After watching The Inconvenient Truth and then analyzing the ten things to do that Al Gore recommend that is necessary to do, with the goal of minimizing the emissions of carbon dioxide, I think that this ten points are easy to make. Changing the lights, replacing one regular light bulb with the new compact fluorescent go green lights, can save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide per year, and this changes you can start in the place where you live, for example, my dad last year changed all the lights of my house to minimize costs in the invoice of the CFE, but actually we notice that this lights are, approved to be environmental and helping with the emissions of carbon dioxide, so, not only helps to save the carbon dioxide, but also helps to your family to not spend big amounts of money in light. These little things are very easy to do. The second point of driving less, I think, that for me is difficult, because only the campus is like 15 kilometers from where I live, also I think that Monterrey is not a bike city, the cars drive to fast and to rude, and the is too far from where I live, I thinks that the best option is making carpool with my roommates, going to school, or going out, but that the best thinks that is possible for me, the other options are some difficult. The third point in which we need to recycle more saving 2,400 pound o carbon dioxide per year, I never do this, sometimes when I am in the campus but with waste produce in my house, no, I think this is a easy way to help the environment only we need to have an order with the trash cans and its done, and the difficult thing a think is where to put the trash and where to carry all the waste because, the waste truck is only for general trash. The other point of checking the tires of the vehicles it’s the easiest of this ten points, because someone can do it for you, and while you are fuelling the gas tank, so, in this point there’s no excuse, to don’t have properly inflated the tires. The fifth point, in…

    The Leader of the People

    Our planet is getting warmer, while this may seem like a benign fact the consequences are actually graver than we realize and the causes are just as daunting. It is no longer debatable that carbon emissions are a real thing, and it is just as evident that we are the cause of the greenhouse gases that carbon emissions produce. Everything we do whether it is driving our cars to work or just having a barbeque in the back yard all add to the carbon emissions we produce. With the rise in sea level, large wildfires, and unseasonal typhoons it seems that the time to take action is waning.…
