All can play part in beating global warming

[cal04]

Everyone has a part to play in combating global warming -- whether simply turning off lights in an empty room or making their own electricity from the wind and sun, experts said on Friday.

No matter how small the action in the context of the vast problem of man-made climate change, every little bit counts, was the message from the Energy Saving Trust (EST) on the opening day of the Ideal Home Show in London.

"It is important that people don't feel powerless in the face of the planet-wide problem. The message is about choice. We are not asking everyone to change their lifestyle," Karen Lawrence, head of the EST's renewables unit, told Reuters.

EST is tasked with spreading the message of boosting energy efficiency and cutting climate warming gases like carbon dioxide issued by burning fossil fuels for transport and power.

3. If we all put our shoulders to the wheel...

...we could save enough electricity to prevent demand growth entirely. Practically everything we do with electricity can be done more efficiently than we do it.
