Let's prevent global warming

Humans have cause many enviromental problems. One of the biggest problem we need to solve is the global warming. The temperature of the earth rising and melting the glaciers of each pole and changing the habitats of the ecosystem is global warning and its problems. Global warming has now become a serious issue and everyone needs to make an effort to stop the temperature from risng. The methods to prevent global warming is indeed very simple, and with our little effort we can prevent a disaster that can come.
One way to prevent global warming is the very famous, ride your car as little as possible. Cars emit CO2 which is one of the primary cause of the global warming is CO2. These CO2's come from theb cars we ride in. So if everyone use their cars less the process of the global warming will become much slower. Instead of using personal cars, we could just walk to close places, ride bicycles or use public transportation. Another way is to use less freone gas. Freon gas is another cause for the global warming. Air conditioner, spray, and refridgerator all emit freone gas. We should all try to use less air conditioners because the more we use it the higher the temperature goes up.
The help of the nations are also critical to the prevention of global warming. The country should promote areas with more trees and plants. If more trees are planted it could prevent global warming. They should also establish laws that states that all people are obliged to use little CO2's or freone gases.
Global warming is a serious problem that humans have caused. However we can also stop it from happening. With our little effort, like using less cars or air conditoners combined with the help of the government as in making laws, or making green areas, the problem of the global warming can be solved.

Conservation vs Social Welfare, Which one has the priority to be supported by the Korean Government?Governmental limited budeget should be spent on Unesco World Heritage conservation rather than provide the food, shelter, and jobs for the homeless.

I think conservation is more urgent then social welfare. Humans have been developing at an excessive speed. The world has already lost too much valuble world heritage because of the development. If we don't take action now all the heritages could be lost. Social welfare is an important problem, but not as urgent as the heritages. Social welfare is a long term problem that takes lots of time and effort. But we could conserve lots of the heritages with a little effort. That is why the money should be used to conserve the world heritage.
