There has been a lot of controversy lately on global warming.
Depending on where you stand on the subject, it is a serious topic that needs to be tackled in some way. It’s crazy to think that in colder climates, we are seeing the depletion of ice and loss of animals due to the climate change. Climate change results in a lot of factors. Some say as humans we are the main reason to why our Earth is changing. Others believe it’s just Earth going through a cyclic change. Whatever the reason is, as humans we can help our environment. Some ways that we can do this is by recycling paper, glass, plastic and can bottles. What I recently found out by my HVAC provider is that as a company they’re trying to eliminate harm to the environment. According to my technician, there is a refrigerant in HVAC units called Refrigerant 22 (R-22), it is one of the most common refrigerants that are used. This type of refrigerant is said to be responsible for damaging the Earth’s ozone layer. It is used in not just refrigerants but in a variety of different forms such as: refrigeration, aerosol propellants and cleaning solvents. Since my HVAC provider is pushing to be more environmentally friendly, they are eliminating the use of R-22 and moving to an alternative. A lot of HVAC companies have been getting rid of this refrigerant due to its damaging properties. I am very pleased with the awareness of my HVAC provider and the actions that other companies are taking to get rid of this pollutant.
