The amount of carbon dioxide that each person produces year is mind blowing; just in the USA 15,000 pounds yearly is the average. This includes the carbon dioxide generated as the services or products we buy are made, the fuel use in work and play, the energy volume it takes in the homes. This number can be reduced and even done aways with through having a more carbon neutral lifestyle. Lessening the carbon footprint puts Texas closer to using clean energy resources.
Just by being more efficient energy users, Texans are able to help reduce what is considered the carbon footprint. This calls for people decreasing their use of energy, and they can do this and keep their current style of life. A few ideas on how to do this:
Switching to energy efficient appliances and light bulbs. Energy efficient light bulbs can save over 100 pounds of carbon dioxide in a year's time.
Stopping the use of so much hot water. Homeowners can get efficient energy using water heaters, reduced flow type shower heads, and do the laundry with cold water. This can lessen the carbon dioxide amount by about 300 pounds.
Recycling saves about 2,500 pounds of the carbon dioxide. If the type of program is done, then start one.
Trees do help lower carbon dioxide that is present in atmosphere so plant more of them, for every tree plant about a ton of carbon dioxide is reduced. The trees do more than just take in carbon dioxide, they also shade the buildings from the sun to make them cooler, and blocks the wind for the winter months.
To move closer to the expectations of Texas using clean energy resources, change over to the more renewable resources of wind and solar. Texas and oil have almost always been thought of together, but that is changing, with the fossil fuels disappearing, and the oil production is basically down 73% from where it was in'72, to search out the newer energy resources. Texas has the cleaner and renewable energy resources that are enough to compensate for the loss of the fossil fuels. The future of the Texas clean energy is in areas of biomass, wind, solar power, and geothermal.
Wind power is a good renewable, more cost efficient resource and is just the thing for a green Texas energy resource. Texas can truly have the ability to become self reliant through using wind power. And they can then sell what they have leftover around their region.
Texas is situated just right for solar power. The long, nice, sunny days make it easy to collect the solar energy. Rewards are reaped from whatever the investment it takes to do this.
With the diminishing fossil oil reserves, Texas will have a substantial number of abandoned wells. These wells can be geared up to produce geothermal energy. This is another way to convert fossil energy dependancy to clean Texas energy usage.
Biomass energy can be produced using the waste from landfill and agricultural use. Biodiesel is already being utilized as a power source for some of the vehicles in a few Texas cities, which has helped the carbon footprint of these cities.
Buying renewable power through government, individual, or city channels can head everyone to use more clean energy. Personal setups for businesses and homes is another way for Texans to lessen the carbon footprint. There are kits for wind and solar out there that aren't too pricey. Making investments in businesses that research, sell, or actually make parts for the green energy industry.
