The global warming is now serious problem.Average temperatures in Tokyo have risen 3℃ in past 100 years. The global warming would one day melt the polar ice and cause worldwide flooding. It would also exacerbate desertification.
Cars, which run on gasoline or diesel oil, exhaust gas and it is known to be a major cause of global warming. If you go out alone or the destination is near to your home, let's avoid using cars and use public transportation or a bicycle!!
Now, hybrid cars are replacing the conventional cars. It combines an electric motor with a gasoline engine and has better fuel efficiency and lower gas emissions compared to a conventional car. In addition, buyers can now receive tax credits for purchasing hybrid cars or other eco-friendly cars. Therefore, buying such cars is both budget-pleasing and environmentally friendly.
Thus, avoiding conventional cars can stop the continued global warming and help the earth. There are lots of things we can do in daily lives for the earth.

Zero Waste
Let's Aim For Zero Waste!!
When I was in Canada, I heard about the "3Rs", which means reduce, reuse, and recycle.
In Japan, it's not well known, so I want many people to know this idea and practice it.
With this idea, a great deal of garbage will be cut down!!
At first, you can reduce garbage by adjusting our shopping habits for example by not buying too wrapped things. Sometimes, foods are wrapped in plastic and in a box with another plastic bag which are not necessary.
If you don't buy such goods, you can reduce garbage. Also, if you bring your own water bottle, you don't need to buy juice with plastic bottle and you can reduce garbage and save your money at the same time.
Secondly, you can cut down on garbage by reusing things such as using not only the front of paper, but also the back of the paper or giving clothes which you don't wear to others.
Thirdly, "recycling" will reduce garbage. However I think recycling centers are not enough in Japan. These facilities should be set up more. Also, in my opinion, each family should compost organic waste, meat, dairy or cooked foods.
The "3Rs" is not difficult and anyone can practice these habits.
Even if only few people do this, they won't make a big change, so everyone should do it together.
It's time to make a change for our environment with these kinds of good ideas!
