How to Help Prevent Global Warming

Description

You might not realize it, but you can prevent global warming at the pump. By supporting the right companies, you can help reduce your carbon footprint. All oil companies are not created equal. Each company's policies differ on how they are improving their production of oil and reducing their emissions. Make sure you buy your gas from the oil companies that produce the least amount of CO2 emmissions to help encourage the other oil companies to follow suit. Chevron and Exxon-Mobil were both rated with a D+ for global warming prevention. A 2003 report released by Oekom Research, a Munich-based firm, rated the 26 major oil and gas companies on a scale from A+ to D-, using a wide range of factors. These companies are often irresponsible. In June 2005, eight communities in Nigeria sued several large oil companies for gas flaring. Gas flaring is a process that releases a number of global warming causing pollutants , including methane and carbon dioxide, and Exxon, Chevron and Shell were among the defendants.
