Weather or not we believe that Global Warming is increasing the intensity of atmospheric natural disasters; we all have an obligation to do our part when it comes to preserving the environment. Our contribution could be as easy as to conserve energy. It should be our goal to investigate ways that we can help by changing some of our day to day activities.
Activity:
Keep a journal for one week on all the energy (electricity / gas - home & automobile) you use. Log every activity you do and for how long. ex. How many times you turn the lights on and how long they stayed on, how many showers did you take and how long, how many time you drove or rode in a car {how far & how many people), how many times did you use appliances [iron, stove, microwave, curling irons, tv,etc. . .] After a week analyze and develop a plan to reduce the amount of energy you used without drastically changing your life.
