Answers

Global warming is not quite a political issue. It is very much an individual moral issue facing every member of our community. Just how do we protect this environment called home?

Conversion from coal to gas and renewable power sources including hydro, nuclear, solar and wind is the first step to be undertaken. More fuel efficient vehicles including hybrids and cleaner diesel vehicles are needed. More extensive use of railways and other public transport systems would mean fewer vehicles on the road. That, in turn will mean lesser emissions. Improved crop and grazing-land management is needed to increase soil carbon storage.
