The race to save environment..!!!

Our planet is changing.  We need to help it change for the better and we're asking for your help to do that!  There are a lot of things that affect our planet in a bad way but the good news is that everyone can help to reduce them and do their bit for the environment.The human race has grown to nearly 7 billion strong, and our seemingly insatiable consumption of energy plays a major role in destroying our environment. One of the most important steps we can take to save the environment is to significantly cut down on this consumption. On a personal level, this translates into a host of simple actions:

• Buying and using fluorescent light bulbs
• Insulating our homes so they heat and cool more efficiently
• Turning off lights and other electronic equipment when we leave a room
• Using cold water when possible, instead of hot or warm
• Turning the thermostat up or down (depending on the season) when we're not at home
• Turning the hot water thermostat down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius)
• Washing only full loads of laundry and dishes in the machines
• Mankind will inevitably continue using energy, even if we all make a concerted effort to cut down on our consumption. So another important step to take if we want to save the environment is to find alternative ways to produce and use sustainable, clean energy. 
  You may have seen buildings adorned with gleaming solar panels or wind farms covered in turbines that stand like sentinels in the breeze. These are two forms of "green" energy that can help reduce our reliance on energy derived from burning fossil fuels. In addition to making decisions about using already existing sources of alternative energy, it's crucial to promote and invest in research that will help harness other sources of sustainable energy. The world will always have a high demand for energy, regardless of how we change our personal habits, so we need to find ways to make sure that we're using clean and renewable sources of energy to meet that great demand.http://youtu.be/XGPvE9BUxl4
