Small gaps in your windows and doors can cause you to consume a lot more energy than you really need to in order to heat and cool your home. To make your home free from drafts wait until a cold day, then hold your hand along the edges of your doors and windows feeling for cold air. If you detect drafts, buy weather stripping from your local hardware store and install it wherever it is needed. Similarly in tropical countries where you need Air conditioning to cool the room, try to prevent the cold from escaping by insulating and filling gaps.<br /> <br /> Step 2: Prevent global warming by reducing your waste electricity use.<br /> <br /> Amazingly about 11% of residential electricity consumption is used by "phantom loads." A phantom load is caused when an electrical appliance draws electricity when it isn't in use. For example, a DVD player has an electrically lighted display that stays on even when you turn the power off. An easy way to eliminate these phantom loads is to plug your computers, printers, scanners, DVD players, televisions, etc. into multi-plug electrical surge protectors. Then, with one flick of the switch, you can make sure that the appliances plugged into your surge protectors are drawing no electricity at all. If you don’t want to purchase this, make sure that you switch off appliances fully.<br /> <br /> Step 3: Prevent global warming with more efficient light bulbs!<br /> <br /> One of the simplest ways to prevent global warming is by using more efficient light bulbs. The Union of Concerned Scientists tell us that if every household replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent one, then over the life of the bulbs 90 billion pounds of CO2 emission would be prevented from going into the atmosphere. This is like taking 6.3 million cars off the road! <br /> <br /> Step 4: Prevent global warming by turning down your hot water heater.<br /> Most of us have our hot water heaters turned up too high. If you turn down your hot water thermostat just 10 degrees Fahrenheit, you reduce 3% to 5% of your energy consumption. You'll have plenty of hot water if you set your water heater between 110-120°F.<br /> <br /> These four simple ways to prevent global warming can be implemented quickly, easily, and with little to no expense.<br>I am a Physiotherapist by profession and a writer by interest.
