Question

Impact of resource consumption on pollution and global warming

Answer 1

Global warming, also known as climate change, is caused by a blanket of pollution that traps heat around the earth. This pollution comes from cars, factories, homes, and power plants that burn fossil fuels such as oil, coal, natural gas, and gasoline. Global warming pollution knows no boundaries. It enters the atmosphere, spreads across the globe, and traps heat around the earth for 50-200 years after it is emitted. That is why we need to reduce global warming pollution now, because our children, and their children, will still feel the effects of global warming for years to come. Currently, the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are at their highest levels in hundreds of thousands of years.

There are solutions. NRCM is working to make Maine more energy efficient and to provide clean, renewable energy and cleaner more efficient vehicles that will reduce Maine’s contribution to air pollution and climate change to ensure Maine people and wildlife have clean air to breathe.

You can reduce your use of fossil fuels, use energy more efficiently, and switch to cleaner and non-polluting sources of energy to reduce your contribution to global warming. You can drive less, drive cleaner hybrid or electric vehicles, carpool, vanpool, telecommute, and take public transportation when possible. You can also make your home more energy-efficient by weather proofing, using more efficient appliances and light bulbs, and by purchasing renewable energy.
