Simple Ways to Prevent Global Warming
- Recycle, reduce, reuse. It makes a world of difference.
- Carry a tote bag. Plastic is out...canvas is in.

- Walk, bike or take the bus.
- Start a compost in your backyard
- Wash clothing in cold water...and hang them to dry.
- Shop Locally. Find farmers' markets and other sources of sustainable grown food near you
- Do you really need that second fridge in the basement?
- Consider a wireless reader...the trees will thank you!

- Car pool to work...everyone ends up saving.
- Invest in an electric bike or an electric car.
- Teach children the value of the our earth. They are our future.

Climate Change
Climate change is any long-term change in the statistics of weather over durations ranging from decades to millions of years. It can be manifest in changes to averages, extremes, or other statistical measures, and may occur in a specific region or for the Earth as a whole.
In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, climate change usually refers to changes in modern climate (see global warming). For information on temperature measurements over various periods, and the data sources available, see temperature record. For attribution of climate change over the past century, see attribution of recent climate change.

What You Can Do To Prevent Global Warming
This is the global warming science project for... science class. There are groups of six, and in those, pairs. Each pair is assigned "Causes of Global Warming", "Effects of Global Warming", or "How to prevent Global Warming". My partner and I got prevention. We only got to spend about 45 minutes a day for a week in the computer labs on laptops. We were only allowed to find images on Google and Yahoo!, and the only program available was Windows Movie Maker. So please excuse the blandness of our video. But please, do enjoy.
