What can I do to avoid global warming?

The things which I made to prevent global warming
I change the normal light bulbs with the energy-saving light bulbs.

I turn off lights when its unnecessary even for a second. I use bulbs for every location in right type and dimensions.

 

Energy saving bulbs uses energy less than %80 according to normal bulbs. If every family make this change with 3 bulbs in their home, CO2 release decreases by 250 million kg. Or 75 kg. CO2 can be saved.

I turn off electronic devices such as television, audio system, computer and pull out the plug of charging adapters of the devices such as mobile phone when I am not using them.

Turning off the electrical devices when you are not using them, saves tons of CO2 for a year. Energy consumption for stand by chips on electronic devices to making them ready to use, is about %5 of total energy used in a home and it means 18 million tons of CO2 release in a year.

I use less hot water, turn down the temperature of your combi boiler and water heater slightly such as 2 degrees, I put necessary amount of water in my teapot.

Its needed too much energy for water heating. You can save nearly 250 kg. CO2 by using lukeworm water for washing your clothes.

I increase the isolation of my house, place my furniture and curtains so that they do not close the radiators.

Isolating ceilings, walls and  not closing the radiators decreases %25 of your heating expenditure and by the way you can save 1000 kg. CO2 for a year.

I start my dishwasher when it is completely full. Defrost regularly the ice layer formed in my refrigerator.

You can make important savings by using efficent household appliance or using them efficiently.

I plant trees in my garden and surrounding or contribute to have trees planted.
I tell the people around me the things they can do to prevent global warming problem and inform them.
