I live in an part that experiences tropical weather conditions for most of the year, however during the Wintertide months, the people I was with and I may get a few days that are cold, but usually, the days are relatively mild… Though I love the weather here, I love being in a colder part while I was in the holidays as I still dream of having white Christmases at our parent’s home, but however, over the last few years, the earth continues to heat up due to weather conditions change. The Winters have gotten warmer and white Christmases are far and few in between, and warmer Winters mean that the people I was with and I use less energy for heating which is a cost savings on our energy bills. However, now that the Summers are warmer, it means that the people I was with and I spend more for our cooling needs. With almost 90% of homes relying on air conditioner while I was in the Summer, it means that air conditioners contribute to a giant amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted into the atmosphere. This is quite the dilemma because the people I was with and I need to keep our homes cool, but the refrigerant that is used in our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C systems is a major threat to the environment because of the high levels of carbon dioxide emissions, but fortunately, the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C industry has been regularly developing innovative ways to combat this issue. They have invented environmental-friendly ways to limit the impact that Heating, Ventilation, and A/C systems have on the environment, and one innovation is their use of geothermal energy technology which consists of a system that uses the temperature from the ground to heat and cool the home. This technology has become adjustingly popular as homeowners who are environmentally conscious are regularly seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint, then i would enjoy to a single day invest in a geothermal system but for now, I do what I can to eliminate our own carbon footprint.
