//__**- INVENTIONS**__// > //__**- WHAT WE CAN DO**__//
 * Existing Inventions**
 * //fluorescent bulbs//
 * [] -Greenbox- The mission of the greenbox is to trap the CO2 pollution that cars give off and turn the gases into biofuel.
 * Theoretical Inventions**
 * **__Anti-pollution Machine__** - A single device with an opening approximately thirty feet wide by thirty feet high would be able to remove as much as one thousand tons of carbon from the atmosphere each year. If the machines are able to remove that much from the air we would require approximately eleven million units of that size to maintain carbon levels at twice what they were in the industrial revolution with no reduction in our present emissions.
 * **Buy locally made and locally grown products**
 * **Use recycled paper**
 * ** Buy minimally packaged goods **
 * ** Insulate house efficiently **
 * ** [|Fill the dishwasher] in order to reduce frequency **
 * ** [|Vote], become politically active and support eco-friendly decisions **
 * ** Use less hot water **
 * ** Turn off electronic devices when not in use **
 * **Check your tires. Properly inflated tires mean good gas mileage. For each gallon of gas saved, 20 pounds of carbon dioxide are also never produced**
 * ** Plant a tree. A single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime. **


 * __//- THEORIES//__**


 * **__Milankovitch Theory__-** This theory of climate change is an explanation for changes in the seasons which result from changes in the earth's orbit around the sun. The theory is named for Serbian astronomer Milutin Milankovitch, who calculated the slow changes in the earth's orbit by careful measurements of the position of the stars, and through equations using the gravitational pull of other planets and stars. He determined that the earth "wobbles" in its orbit. The earth's "tilt" is what causes seasons, and changes in the tilt of the earth change the strength of the seasons.
 * the __**Fix one thing and another will go wrong thoery**__ - This theory suggests that if we continue our pollution at the same rate and simply just "clean it all up" as we go, other problems will arise. ex. 'sunshade geoengineering schemes' (limiting sunlight enterance into atmosphere) studies show that 'sunshade geoengineering schemes' could cause a slowdown in the global hydrological cycle. ([].)

> > **//__cosmic rays__//** are the high-energy particles that flow into our solar system from far away in the Galaxy.
 * Henrik Svensmark, a weather scientist at the Danish National Space Center believes that the planet is experiencing a natural period of low cloud cover due to fewer cosmic rays entering the atmosphere, which is responsible for much of the global warming we are experiencing.
