How the Greenhouse Effect Works

The greenhouse effect is created by greenhouse gases. The light, UV’s and heat from the sun pass through the atmosphere. While some of the rays are absorbed by the earth, others are reflected off the earth’s surface and go back into the atmosphere. Of these reflected rays, some bounce off of the atmosphere back at the earth and others pass through and go back into space. The increase in greenhouse gases makes the atmosphere trap more of the rays that have bounced off the earth. This raises the temperature of the earth, hence the name “Global Warming.�

There are many ways that we as people in society can do to prevent further global warming. We can try to emit the least possible amounts of greenhouse gases, these are some of the practical suggestions:

1. Using more efficient cars or electrical cars or public transportation or bike

2. Not purchasing aerosol products

3. Getting air conditioners serviced annually

4. Turning off electrical appliances when they are not being use, saving energy, allowing plants to reduce the amount of fossil fuels being burned, hence, reducing emission of Carbon Dioxide.

5. Using energy efficient appliances with “Energy Star� label

6. Unplugging any charger, TV and other electronics from the wall when they are not used.

7. Using durable goods that reduce energy to manufacture and the fuel for transportation.

8. Buying the amount of goods that you just needed, planning replenishment in good timely manner.

9. Planting more trees and plants possible, these green leaves use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, in return, releasing oxygen.

You may have better, more efficient, and practical suggestions, please share with us. The more aware every individual is, the more will be contributed to stop the increase of global warming. Conserving the beautiful world for the generation in the future.
