Let alge grow in the pond or puddle in the back yeard. Alge absorbse co2 10 times as fast as plants. It also provides a resource for other species. Put an led light in the refrigerator. Energy wasting incandesents generate heat which then needs to be pumped back out of the fridge using more electricity. Plant trees and vines. Get soem fruit bearing varieties and you'll save energy cost associated with buying them from a typical market. (pretty substantial) Talk to your neighbors. This way you can find ways to share the load. For instance if you find out your neighbor is planning to go to the home improvement store maybe you can share a ride. If you are going to thte dump ask them if they have anything they'd like you to take. Demand your city council create nearby comercial zonings so you and others dont have to travel so far to go shoping. Maybe you can even walk! Take up hobbies that dont take so much travel or resources? Insulate, get green appliances. get low flow plumbing items like showrer haeds and toilets.</p> <p>Every now and then, turn off the tv's and the stereo's and the gameboys and the computers. Take out a board game or even turn off the lights and tell her you love her and all the things you think about but never have the time to say.</p> <p><a title="What are you, chicken?!" href="http://neilang.com/entries/8-tips-to-combat-global-warming-for-nerds/#comment">Post a reply</a> (I dare you!)</p> http://neilang.com/entries/8-tips-to-combat-global-warming-for-nerds/#comment-71 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:03:12 GMT http://neilang.com/entries/8-tips-to-combat-global-warming-for-nerds/#comment-71 <p>i love global warming</p> <p><a title="What are you, chicken?!" href="http://neilang.com/entries/8-tips-to-combat-global-warming-for-nerds/#comment">Post a reply</a> (I dare you!)</p> http://neilang.com/entries/8-tips-to-combat-global-warming-for-nerds/#comment-61 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 05:14:07 GMT http://neilang.com/entries/8-tips-to-combat-global-warming-for-nerds/#comment-61 <p>sorry, bad tag in previous comment.</p> <p>Black screens do <strong>not</strong> reduce energy.
