Effects of Global Warming - Save the Polar Bears - Recycling Lessens the Effect of Global Warming

Posted by Rolf Joho on May 13th, 2010 filed in Effects of Global Warming

Polar Bears, are powerful swimmers crossing 20-30 miles of water at every swim, are drowning. Their big bodies weighing from 330-720 kg can no longer stand on the ice. Arctic ice is thinning, melting away. Their habitat is vanishing. They are now feeling the effects of global warming.

Mother Nature natural earth temperature is now increasing at an alarming rate. The mixture of gasses in the atmosphere creates a blanket that traps in heat necessary for life on earth to exist. These gasses primarily composed of carbon dioxide, water vapor and other trace gasses (methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases) are not harmful, as long as they are kept within normal limits. But the trend of its increasing amounts in the atmosphere has caused chaos not only to polar bears and their habitat but to other animals as well. This scenario of increased temperature, having its effect globally is now called global warming.

But what has caused this sudden increase in gasses? More precisely, what has caused the amount of carbon dioxide to increase beyond the normal limits? What has happened to Mother Natures’ system of keeping the carbon dioxide levels in check?

Mother Natures’ plants and trees breath-in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. That is the biological carbon system. But with the large scale timber harvesting and the resulting deforestation, the system has broken down. Mankind has broken the system that Mother Nature has put in place. The industrial age has also brought us to where we are now and has increased levels of pollution and gasses in the air. Specifically carbon dioxide through the combustion of fossil fuel has added to increasing the worldwide air pollution levels.

It is therefore our responsibility to fix things and to clean up the pollution we have created. Countries have enacted laws to stop deforestation and funds have been allocated and made available for the planting of trees. As to fossil fuel combustion, alternative means for heating and energy resource are being studied and examined. Also, decades ago, a campaign was launched to help address this issue. It is the campaign using the three “R” concept – Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

If businesses and households reduce, reuse and recycle their waste then incinerators and landfills will decrease in operation. The burning of wastes in incinerators and the decaying waste in landfills emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Of the three phrases in the campaign the last is the most popular. Recycling can be done by everybody. It is taught in schools and even preschoolers now know how to separate garbage and how to identify which containers are recyclables. If we all practice recycling, it will help a great deal in lessening global warming. It will also help rehabilitate the habitat of polar bears.

Nick Johnson is an environmentalist that knows the importance of Scrap Metal Recycling and electronics recycling such as in Atlanta Computer Recycling centers.
