Global warming can lead to rising sea levels, extreme weather events and changes in precipitation (降雨量).Global warming can also affect agriculture and glacier melt and can facilitate (促进) the spread of disease and the extinctions of species.So, it is necessary to prevent global warming.But how to do it?
Many countries have been working to reduce greenhouse gas emission (排放) to prevent global warming.Driving an energyefficient car can help to prevent global warming because hybrid cars can run on gas and electricity.The average hybrid can save 16,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year! Also, do not use hot water if we do not need to, like when doing laundry.And take care with our appliances.Unplug them when we do not use them.In order to prevent global warming, we should get energysaving light bulbs.And we can help to prevent global warming if we buy recycled products, also try donating or selling instead of throwing away.Besides, we can try buying products with less packaging.Buying in bulk can mean less packaging and less money being spent.What is more, we can plant trees.Not only do they suck up carbon dioxide, but also they provide cleaner air and save 2,000 pounds of CO2 a year.
Students showed that manmade influences are adding to cycle considerably.So, how to prevent global warming? Many ways are also being pushed upon society.Turn the lights off, turn the TV off, walk to the shop, and buy a green car.But can all these little things actually add up to make a difference? Or do we need to put pressure on the corporations.This is where the real emissions are coming from.Yes of course we need to do all the little things ourselves.
Once again, how to prevent it? We need our government to implement (落实) emergency laws, use the power of media to influence those who are not awake or are too stubborn or selfish to do anything about it.We need to take a stand now.
In a word, there are many ways to prevent global warming and we can stop global warming if we take action on it.
