Precaution Regarding Global warming

Personal precautions against global warming

07 May 2007, Monday / TODAY’S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL

As the effects of global warming increase, people are being advised to be more aware of the issue.
The State Waterworks Authority’s monthly magazine, Water World, has presented personal precautions to slow down global warming. According to the magazine replacing an incandescent lamp with energy-saving bulbs prevents 75 kilograms (kg) of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere annually. Driving cars less will save 0.75 kg carbon dioxide for every 2 kilometers. Recycling waste will save 1,200 kg of carbon dioxide each year by a single house. Using hot water less will prevent energy consumption, and washing clothes with cold or warm water will save 250 kg of carbon dioxide annually. Electronic devices should be turned off totally; those such as televisions and DVD players are releasing 450 kg of carbon dioxide annually when kept at stand-by eight hours on a daily average.
