Reduce Global Warming with these Green Actions
Big Home Projects:
Educational Resources for Reducing Greenhouse Gases
Summer:
Here is a sampling of green actions and their relative impact to fix global warming:
Cisco launched A Million Acts of Green in the fall of 2008. In Canada, the initiative has created almost two million acts which have saved over four hundred thousand pounds of greenhouse gases. This is a global initiative where acts are registered on-line and an instant calculation will explain how much greenhouse gas will be saved by your action. A list of possibilities is included for inspiration and visitors are encouraged to add new ideas. Within the categories of transportation, home, community,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everyday habits, miscellaneous and summer, there are over one hundred ideas for you to help reduce global climate change.
Once you register your act,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a calculator designed by GreenNexxus will display the specific amount of greenhouse gases saved.

Although some skeptics say that human activity does not cause global warming, there are numerous research sources which show a clear connection. Sometimes individuals feel they cannot fix climate change issues because the contribution of one person seems insignificant or they do not know how to begin. With this initiative by Cisco and the calculator designed by GreenNexus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is obvious that individual actions do count and that we each can be part of the solution to global warming.
