Global warming problems and solutions

Global Warming is an important ecological issue. It has problems upon our environment. Many people hear about it, but less people know what it exactly means. However, It is mainly caused by the greenhouses. In this essay I will briefly talk about the problems and solutions of the Global Warming.
Lets first talk about the problems. For starters , one notable concern is with regard to green house gas emissions. To clarify, “The increase of greenhouse gas concentration (mainly carbon dioxide) led to a substantial warming of the earth and the sea” (juerg). Another point to consider is with cutting tree. In other words, the trees that convert our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we're using the land that we cut the trees down from as property for our homes and buildings (library.thinkquest.org). Another problem I forget to mention it is with the way we use our lands. For example, There are many modern agriculture practices for human consumption which can lead to release the main two greenhouse gases.

Having looked at the problems now lets turn our attention to the global warming solutions. The first solution is to plant trees in yards and local parks because the trees convert the CO2 to oxygen Like Leonard said in his report: “ planting trees in those parking lots would also help eliminate the "hot spots" that create detrimental clouds of carbon dioxide” (Leonard 64). Another solution to consider is to buy compact fluorescent lights bulb. to illustrate, using fluorescent lights bulbs can only consume 5 watt comparing with the normal lights which consume 25 watt and these lights can reduce CO2 emissions and these lights can last from 5 to 15 times longer than the normal lights. Yet another solution to consider is with your transportation. For example you can walk or you can ride the bus and you may Drive a fuel-efficient car
and avoid using cars for unnecessary trips.
In brief, taking into account all that I have mentioned regarding global warming problems and solutions, I think this is really serious problem because it affect us all and we have to find other ways to keep our environment clean.
