The Times Survival Guide

As I was searching online I noticed the Times posted a lengthy 51 step survival guide to global warming. It's very comprehensive and it would take several paragraphs to go through all 51 however I will go through some too perhaps persuade some readers.

Food is a big key in the hunt for alternative energy. The Department of Energy has doubled its commitment to researching non petroleum based fuels and this includes looking into foods such as corn and soybean. The compact fluorescent lightbulb is a new and popular item. Using much less energy than a fluorescent light bulb and lasting years longer, not only is it better for the environment but its better for your pockets. Using a clothes line is a simple method and practical as well, using considerable less energy than a dryer. Paying bills online as well as not asking for a receipt when using an atm eliminates paper trail and produces less waste. Meat producing companies produce more emmissions than car companies so eating less burgers and steak as a whole could have an affect. Lastly since i'm guilty of this, shutting off your computer instead of letting the screensaver run.

These are simple steps that when combined can really go a long way in a problem that won't be gotten rid of anytime soon.
