When bigger companies start cutting emissions, it would just have a domino effect of the rest of the world. The biggest greenhouse gasses that are released are : cardon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are just some of the byproducts.

Some effects of greenhouse gas emissions include :

- Rising temperatures

- Higher sea levels

-Smog and acid rain

Cutting back on energy consumption reduces the amount of electricity that power plants have to make, and in turn reduces the amount of fossil fuels that are being burned daily.

Some every day things you and your family could do at home to reduce your carbon footprint could be :

-Exchanging your incandescent light bulb for an efficient CFL (is the equivalent to take 1.3 MILLION cars off of the roads)

-Biking more and driving less (it requires much less energy to produce a bike than it does to manufacture a car)

-Conserve your water! ( When brushing your teeth, turn the water off and take shorter showers)
