As an individual how do you help in stopping global warming?

As an individual, I cannot do or contribute grand on helping stop global warming. I can only help
as much as what can be done in households: reduce usage of plastics such as plastic bags and
plastic bottles replace it with eco bags and tumblers, turning off switch is one thing too; turning
lights off will help not only to help stop global warming but also households in energy
consumption matter, planting trees is common yet most beneficial; oxygen-carbon dioxide
exchange effect in surroundings and one beautiful vegetation at households, minimizing boiling
hot water is also a good contribution; executing this activity when preparing a bath but making a
coffee is inevitable, natural ventilation in every corner of the household; using less air
conditioning at any room or using nothing at all means zero refrigerant emission which is a
matter that largely contributes to ozone depletion. But these activities will only be in vain if not
exercised well in households. Contributing does not focus on what can be done but on how it can
be executed from start to finish. From individual then to households then to neighbors then to
community; real contribution starts from consistency and commitment to doing activities for a
good cause.
