6 Steps to Reduce Global Warming Effect
Carbon dioxide is one of the major reasons for the global warming. The increase in the level of carbon dioxide by burning the fuels such as oil, natural gas and gasoline result in the global warming. Global warming can be avoided further by saving the energy and reducing the demand for the fossil fuels. Some simple actions to avoid global warming are discussed here.
 |
| Global Warming (Global Warning) |
1. Reduce waste and Reuse
Instead of disposals, you can use reusable products to reduce the waste. Reducing the solid waste will help to reduce the level of carbon dioxide in the environment.
2. Avoid Plastic Usage
Usage of plastic carry bags and other plastic products is the well known reason for the global warming. In the recent days most of the cities are in the action to ban the usage of plastic carry bags to protect the environment from global warming. However, without the contribution and support of the people, this cannot be achieved by the Government or any Non-Governmental Organization. Use cotton or paper made bags instead of plastic carry bags.
3. Change the light bulb
Replace the 60 watt / 100 watt bulbs with the CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) bulbs to save more energy and reduce more heat. This helps to reduce more than 70% heat and saves more than 60% of energy. This not only saves your environment but also your money. Usage of CFL bulbs helps to reduce the level of greenhouse gases. So replace the bulbs with CFL bulbs wherever possible.

4. Avoid air-conditioning usage whenever possible
Use air-conditioning or heaters only if necessary and don’t forget to switch off when it is not necessary. The same is applicable for other electronic devices such as fans, lights, music system, computer, cell phone charger, etc.
5. Reduce Petrol / Diesel Consumption
Avoid travelling in bikes and cars to your nearby places. Improve your habit of walking and cycling. Keep your tyres and engines of your bikes and cars proper. This helps to increase he mileage and reduce the Petrol / Diesel consumption. Always prefer motors with high mileage factor instead of style and cost. This not only reduces your money but also saves the environment by reducing the level of carbon dioxide.
6. Plant Trees and encourage others to plant trees
Finally, it is an important step to boost your environment with the oxygen. Plant more trees wherever / whenever possible and motivate others to plant more trees. Everyone knows the importance of trees, but most of the people are not ready to give our time for the tree plantation. Plant more trees. Avoid Global Warming.
“Global Warming is the Global Warning to our environment”.
Please give your support and contribution to save nature and avoid further global warming.

Tree Plantation Tips - How to Plant a Tree
Planting a tree is not just digging the soil and put the tree sapling in it. Tree planting is an art of giving rebirth to the tree saplings. Still some of us do not aware on the proper way to plant and maintain the trees. Here are some tips for planting the tree saplings.
1. Selection of the right time to plant a tree is very important. Do not prefer summer or late summer for planting the trees. Always prefer early rainy season for planting trees. This climate will be more suitable for newly planted trees.
2. Selection of the right place for tree plantation is the next step. The space required for the trees should be considered based on the type of the trees and its growth in the future.
3. Preparation of the hole: Digging the hole for tree plantation is to be considered for better growth and survival of the tree. The hole should be too deeper or short / too wider or narrow. Proper width and height of the hole will increase the survival fitness of the trees. The hole should be 3 times wider than the diameter of the actual root ball of the tree sapling.
4. Planting the tree: The soil attached with the root ball of the tree should not be removed and it should be planted in the hole along with the tree sapling. While filling the hole, the soil which was taken last from the ground should be filled in the hole. This helps to maintain the required moisture and temperature required for the root ball of the tree. Use some compost with the soil to fill the hole. If the quality of the soil is not good, then this compost will be more beneficial to increase the richness of the soil. Applying some organic mulch around the tree will increase the quality of the soil and protect the tree from soil erosion.
5. Water the tree after the plantation: Watering the newly planted tree will set the soil in the hole and eliminate the air from the hole. 4 litres of water for a 15 cm tree is enough ensure its survival in the ground. The watering should be continued at least for one year for the road side trees which are plated only for the purpose of shade. Watering should be continued on weekly basis (Weekly twice or thrice for one year) for these types of trees. Water daily for the trees which are planted for the purpose of fruits and flowers and this can be continued till the life of the tree.
