2  If the amount of carbon in our atmosphere does not get reduced these things will happen:  Temperatures will rise which will affect agriculture, storms, and illnesses.  More animals will become extinct because of a change in their environment.  Ocean levels will rise and coastlines will be destroyed. It is estimated that in Australia alone, over 700,000 buildings would be at risk if ocean levels rise.

3  Use bikes, walk, buses or car pool for most of your trips.  Consider hybrids, electric motorbikes, or highly efficient cars.  Purchasing radial tires and keeping them properly inflated will reduce carbon emissions.  Don’t idle your car to warm it up, that wastes gas, injures your car, and contributes to pollution.

4  There are many ways to energy proof your home. A lot of these things do not have to be major changes just small things that in quantity could make a huge difference. Some of these small things are, unplug appliances to outlets when not in use, and switch your light bulbs to fluorescents. These may cost more, but you will eventually save money on the energy saved. You should also turn down your thermostat a couple of degrees in the winter and up a few degrees in the summer, and replace your old appliances with new appliances that are more energy efficient.
