“Everyone can do little things like use less electricity, litter less and so forth, “

Not that I’m pro-littering or anything, but what does it have to do with global warming?

Much electricity in America comes from coal plants. Use less juice, burn less coal. As to litter it has two big effects..

1. much of the stuff ends up in to oceans and water ways. This kkills ocean flora. That means less CO2 scrubbing.

2. Lots of litter and land fills do all sorts of toxic things to soils and it kills off terrestrial plants and hence less scrubbing.
