What You Can Do
(from ED's website) Click here for tips! Burning fossil fuels to power
our homes and run our cars creates global warming pollution. Big and small changes can add up and make a real difference in the fight against global warming.
At Home: Use Less Energy Home energy accounts for 21 percent of America's global warming pollution. If we make smart choices, we can cut more pollution than the
entire emissions of over 100 countries!
- Change light bulbs to more energy-saving ones
- Re-think home energy to greener power
- Cut pollution at home
On the Road: Be Efficient When it comes to global warming, how and what we drive are two of our most powerful choices. Transportation is the biggest source of
U.S. carbon dioxide emissions, more than factories or homes.
- Use less gas with your current car
- Buy a clean, green, fuel-efficient car
Neutralize the Rest Even if you are already driving efficiently and using less electricity, there's more you can do. Buying offsets, or credits, neutralizes
what we can't cut. How to
buy carbon offsets |

Global warming is the most serious environmental challenge of our time. It is more urgent and its dangers are more fundamental than
most Americans realize. Environmental Defense's campaign seeks to educate Americans about how quickly we must act, and give concrete steps that people can incorporate into their lives to fight global warming.
Environmental Defense represents more than 500,000 members. Since 1967, Environmental Defense has linked science, economics, law and innovative private-sector partnerships to create
breakthrough solutions to the most serious environmental problems. They have a strong history of finding solutions, from pioneering efforts to eradicate DDT to cutting-edge hybrid truck work with FedEx.
