Home Changes for Global Warming Prevention

There are many changes that we can make in our homes in order to prevent global warming. In order to reduce the rate of damage that is occurring as a result of global warming, we must be willing to do our part. Many people go all out and change as much as they can in order to prevent global warming. Other people only make a change or two. It does not matter how much change you make, as long as you are trying. Everything helps a little. Of course, more is better. If you are not able to implement all of the tips that are listed in this article, that is ok. Just pass the information along and see what a difference that we can all make by working together.

1) The first thing that you can do to change your home in order to prevent global warming is to make sure that you are using light bulbs and appliances that are considered energy efficient. Using standard light bulbs and appliances that are not energy efficient will only lead to the issue of global warming getting worse. If you are unable to afford the expense of replacing all the light bulbs in your home at once, start with the ones that are used the most and then move on to the rest as you are able to afford it.

2) The next step to changing your home in order to assist in preventing global warming is to ensure that you do not run any unnecessary water. You should turn the water off as you are washing dishes, make sure that you only run a dishwasher and a washing machine when you have full loads, do not fill the tub all the way up when you are taking a bath, turn off the water as you are brushing your teeth, and keep your showers short and sweet. You may also want to limit the amount of water that you use in order to provide moisture to the grass, and fill up swimming pools and spas in the home.

3) If you run an air conditioner and/or heaters, you should try to use a thermostat whenever it is possible. This will help save a load of money on your heating and cooling costs. It will also help reduce the amount of harmful gases that enter in the atmosphere and result in the issue of global warming. Try to keep the thermostat around the upper 70 scale. It is also very important to ensure that the vent filters in your home are kept cleaned and changed on a regular basis.

4) You should try to reduce the amount of trash that is produced in your home. You can do this by learning to recycle products for use in the home, or recycle them in your community. You can also reduce trash by ensuring that you limit the purchases of items that contain a lot of unnecessary garbage that you will end up throwing away.

5) If it is possible, share a ride with another co-worker or with your spouse so that you don't produce car emissions or polution. Besides the benefits already mentioned, you will also save on the purchase of gasoline and will have company on your trip. On the weekends plan your schedule so you use only one car to do all of your errands. Again this saves gas and cuts down on the polution.

6) If you have the space, grow some of your own food. Fresh vegetables are better for you and if you grow them yourself, you will not have to buy them at the grocery store. You will also save on gas and time because they will be within walking distance. If you have a "bumper crop", you can always can or freeze them so you will have them during the colder months. You can also recycle the "waste products" (skins, tops, etc.) which you would usually throw away to make compost material.

These are just a few things you can do at home which will help lessen the ill effects on our environment. As mentioned above, start with 1 or 2 as you have the time or can afford them. Then continue to add more as time goes by. If we all do just a few of these things, then the cumulative effect will start tipping the scales of global warming toward the good end.

Elite IT Unviels Mobile-Net

Flying cars; interactive robots; time machines.....what's next for the future?? I love the latest technology and I am a science fiction buff. I am always scouring the web for the next greatest thing and came across a computer company in Appleton, WI called elite I.T.

This company offers a new type of mobile internet service to anyone from on-the-road salespeople to real estate agents. The technology, it seems, is much better than a simple wireless card. From what I have seen, their unit can even provide a jump start for your dead car battery!

I saw a movie once, called Demolition man where all the cars in the future have personal computers and drive themselves. Unbelievable stuff! To me, I have dreamed of the day where I can check my e-mail, get directions, or search for the nearest restaurant all from the seat of my vehicle. Looks like that time has come! Take a look for yourself: www.mobile-net.net

The benefits of a technology such as this is revolutionary. The dangers in customer abuse is also foreboding. Each time a new technology gets put into the Marketplace, there will always be a benefit and a disadvantage. The choice, is up to you, whether to be smart & responsible or stubborn & a fool. New technology need not be a bad thing if used correctly & in a safe manner.

To each, his own. As for me - give me the steering wheel and a mouse pad. I'm raring to go.....
