    As opposed to conventional fossil fuel-based power generation, the process of creating energy from solar panels emits no direct greenhouse gas emissions. Solar energy helps to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuels, which in turn helps to slow down the rate of global warming. In summary, get solar panels if you can, but if you already have them, great!

    At my house, we have two recycling bins. One is for plastic and the other one is for paper or cardboard. I also have a reusable water bottle on my bed side table if I need water at night.
