The most terrifying movie of the summer. You owe it to the planet to see the truth. Yes! The most important action we can take to slow
global warming is to reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases.
Governments, individuals, and businesses can all help.
Governments can adopt a range of options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including
increasing energy efficiency standards
encouraging the use of renewable energy sources (such as wind and solar power)
eliminating subsidies that encourage the use of coal and oil by making them artificially cheap
protecting and restoring forests, which serve as important storehouses of carbon
Individuals can reduce the need for fossil fuels and often save money by
driving less and driving more fuel-efficient and less-polluting cars
using energy-efficient appliances
insulating homes
using less electricity in general
Businesses can increase efficiency and save
substantial sums by doing the same things on a larger scale. And
utilities can avoid building expensive new power plants by encouraging
and helping customers to adopt efficiency measures. Do your part.
