How To Reduce the Amount of Carbon Dioxide Going into the Air.

Use public transportation, walk or bike to school or work. If you must drive, join a carpool and use a car that gets high mileage.

● Use energy-efficient appliances and weatherize your home.

Use renewable energy sources, like solar heart or wind power ,which don’t emit carbon dioxide.

● Switch from coal and oil to na tural gas in power plants and factories .Natural gas releases the least amount of carbon dioxide.
