How does human activity impact greenhouse gases found in the atmosphere?

What are some simple changes humans can do to help keep the Earth cooler in the future? What are you doing to help?
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are responsible for the Greenhouse effect in the Earths atmosphere. They absorb the thermal radiations and hence help maintain the Earths temperature in an optimum range so as to support life. Some of the prominent GHGs are water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide etc. Human activities, like burning of fossil fuels and excessive cutting down of forests have led to a rapid increase in the concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere. This has resulted in the heating of the Earths atmosphere threatening to have disastrous long-term consequences. However, we, as humans, can make simple changes in our daily lives to help keep the GHGs under check and hence make sure that the temperature of the Earth does not exceed the desired limits in the future. Some of these steps may be: Recycling: One of the easiest steps is to recycle used products and to reduce the amount of wastes we generate. By recycling the used products, we reduce the requirement for new products and hence save considerable amounts of energy which would in-turn save lots of GHG emissions into the atmosphere. Reduce the use of air conditioning: By reducing the use of central air conditioning systems, we can have a considerable drop in the overall energy consumption of our homes and hence lead to a reduction in the GHG emissions. Avoid using sprays: We should avoid the use of sprays in the form of deodorants and perfumes as these contain chemicals which go into the atmosphere and deplete the Ozone layer. This is another major cause of the increase in the Earths temperature. Planting tress: One of the simplest and most important steps is to plant more trees because the only way to reduce the greenhouse gases is by photosynthesis. For this we need as many trees as possible. Using public transport: This will help in reducing the emissions from the individual vehicles. On a personal note, I try to avoid personal vehicles as much as possible. I use the bus services or car pools. I also make a conscious effort to recycle as much waste as possible. In addition, I avoid deodorants and use talcum powder instead and also plant as many trees as possible. Another effort I make towards this cause is by educating as many people around me on this subject so that they may also follow these steps. Only by creating awareness this cause can become a success.
