               13 WAYS YOU CAN HELP THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT


The world is rapidly becoming uninhabitable because of man's excesses.
Here are 13 ways in which YOU can help speed that process up.


       I N   T H E   H O U S E

Domestic electricity comes from Power Stations, most of which burn up
fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas - at an alarming rate, releasing an
enormous quantity of waste gases into the atmosphere, displacing Earth's
protective ozone layer and giving rise to the Greenhouse Effect.  The
more power you use, the more they have to burn.  Here are a few simple
ways you can force them to keep up output.

 1. Keep lights ON at all times. Every little helps.  Remember, 16.66
sixty watt lightbulbs use up as much power as a one kilowatt electric
fire!  Wear eyeshades in bed at night so that you can keep your bedroom
light on.

 2. Keep other domestic appliances switched ON as often as possible
(earmuffs should be worn to guard against excessive TV, radio and
vacuum-cleaner noise).  When buying domestic appliances always look for
the most energy inefficient model.  Your retailer can help you here.

 3. ELECTRIC COOKERS are heavy consumers of energy.  Use yours at every
meal, even if you're only having salad.  Try to have a cooker in every
room.

 4. HEATING is the major consumer of domestic energy.  Always maintain
central heating systems on maximum setting.  Augment with additional
electric heaters.  Keep electric fires burning at all times, even when
you're out.

 5. Wear light clothes around the house, or better still go naked. This
will help you to cope with the unbearable heat.  Keep the fridge door
open for that continuous cool blast.

 6. NEVER INSULATE. A great deal of heat can be lost through poor
insulation, allowing you to burn even more electric fires.  With luck,
your house may burn down, adding to the Greenhouse Effect.

 7. Chlorofluorocarbons - CFCs - are inert gases used in many aerosols
and are an important source of Greenhouse gases. Avoid cans marked
"Ozone Friendly" and "CFC Free". Ask your retailer for Ozone unfriendly
products. Don't be afraid to make a fuss.  He's there to serve YOU.

 8. Make sure your diet includes plenty of beans and other vegetable
matter. This will encourage your digestive system to produce METHANE, an
often undervalued contributor to the Greenhouse Effect.  Go for it!

 9. Vehicle Exhausts are a major producer of Greenhouse gases.  Use your
car as often as possible.  Drive about aimlessly.  Go on long journeys
whether you need to or not.  Strictly avoid any form of Public
Transport.

10. Always drive a large "GAS GUZZLING" car.  This burns up fuel more
rapidly.  If possible, consider switching to a truck or bus.

11. Never carry passengers.  This forces other people to drive THEIR
cars, thus burning up more fuel.

12. TREES help to counter the Greenhouse Effect by absorbing carbon
dioxide and giving out oxygen.  Encourage tree-felling by buying wood
and paper products whenever possible.  Insist on "tropical" timbers.
Never recycle paper.

13. Encourage your government to start WARS.  Wars are enormous
consumers of fossil fuels.  Wars in oil-rich regions are best,
especially if an oil field or two can be set alight.
