Going Green, Simply: Weatherproof Your Home

According to the “Going Green, Simply: Weatherproof Your Home”, heating of an American home with natural gas creates about 6,400 lbs of carbon dioxide a year; using electricity will produce about 4,700 lbs of emissions in the winter. Therefore, the expert thinks a series of method to tackle this problem such as plugging up the holes that the heat might go out, paying for the energy audit to figure out exactly where the holes are, checking around the house, even adopting the method to use less heat.

In my opinions, I think that it is just one of the quick fix to face the serious global warming problem which is threat our earth. The people work hard a whole day and wish to have the materialist enjoyment, not only the Americans. So, air-condition becomes their necessary and a part of their life, let alone the heating is more important for them in the winter. However, people are neglect the effect of enjoyment that will endanger our life in future even destroy our globe. Besides, ignorance of the people not only accelerating the destruction of the environment, but also implicating their generations.

In the fact, we have many ways to protest the global warming such as the people seldom to use the car to decrease the emission of the carbon dioxide. By the way, building up the transportation networks, the government needs to cut down the forest to be the streets, freeways, and parking area. It is not a true method to tackle this problem. Relying on carbon- neutral vegetable oil and the methane as the energy source also can control the emission of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the most simply way is plant the tree around the house and the government avoids cut down the forest for the development of the country. It is the most cost-effective green technology can be found around us.

Finally, I think we have the responsibility to cherish our globe and protect it because the earth is only one.
