If I had my own home and my own family, I would change my habits from the ones that I have now. I would put my windows on the south side of the house so that I wouldn't have to use the heater in the winter. Instead, I would use the natural light that comes from the sun to heat my home. I would also put energy efficient light bulbs in all my house lighting. I would also buy an energy efficient refrigerator, dishwashing machine, washer and dryer, and television. To power all these items in my house, I would use solar panels and wind energy. This would help reduce the amount of electricity used and it would release less chemicals into the atmosphere like a traditional electricity system would (emits chemicals into the atmosphere and could possibly cause a fire, which emits carbon dioxide and other chemicals into the atmosphere). I would grow my own food instead of going shopping at the store because going to the store would emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (car). It will also be healthy because I would use natural fertilizer instead of synthetic ones. I would also us e city transportation to get to and from the city and work because this would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
