global warming

I want to help in preventing global warming in a broader sence. what can i do for that? I am a medical student and I want to take up a project on prevention of global warming. I am really impressed by the work of Al Gore and I want to do something for this forthcoming disaster.

Your contribution to mitigate global warming

This is probably not exactly what you want to know, but nevertheless:

Start with yourself and your own bevahiour! It is most important to limit your personal energy requirements to a "reasonable" level. Ideas and links can be found in this comment with the title "How you can help to mitigate global warming". Be a good example!

In addition:

  • Inform your family, your friends, etc. what they can do to mitigate global warming. Much too many people do still believe that they don't contribute to the warming themselves.
  • Help spreading the word on websites like http://timeforchange.org . Answer questions, propose actions, write articles, etc.
  • Write some "letter to the Editor" of newspapers if they publish information about climate change which is not correct or playing down the problem.
  • Inform the politicians of your country and ask them for concrete actions instead of lip services.
  • Etc.

Recycling in the hospital

Hi,

I am presently a student nurse in the USA and i was surprise to find out how much waste hospitals put in the garbage each day. I heard that hospitals in germany recycle everything. This may be a good project to start or to be implicated in.

It is good to make personnal choices but bringing changes on a bigger scale works well too!!!

Good Luck
