How to reduce Global Warming?

Our goal is just one: stop Global Warming. To realize this, we need the help of everybody!
So, now we will present you a few tips that you can follow in your daily basics to help stop Global Warming:

1. Instead of throw your unwanted goods away, choose a better option. You can donate them, whitch is quite affordable nowadays; you can also reuse them or either sell them.

2. Replace wrapping paper with newspaper sheets or old fabrics. It's an original idea and it stays beautiful.

3. Print or copy your projects with regular quality printing on both sides instead of good quality printing on one side or both sides.

4. If you are a student or if you need to sum up any content, prefer to use scratch sheets or sheets from old notebooks.

5. Do not leave appliances on standby. Use the "on/off" function on the machine itself. A TV set that's switched on for 3 hours a day (the average time Europeans spend watching TV) and in standby mode during remaining 21 hours uses about 40% of it's energy in stanby mode.

6. Always turn off your computer overnight.

It's starting from little everyday things that we can save our planet before it is too late.
