All of the following are things you can do to help cut down the production of carbon dioxide EXCEPT..
A
recycling
B
changing light bulbs
C
mowing your lawn more often
D
heating and cooling smartly
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There are many ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector, including energy efficiency, fuel switching, combined heat and power, use of renewable energy, and the more efficient use and recycling of materials.

Detailed explanation-2: -Despite these negative impacts, turfgrass actually has the potential to offset emissions by sequestering carbon dioxide. Through the process of photosynthesis, all plants remove carbon dioxide from the air and utilize it to form new growth, including root mass.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon Dioxide Removal There are both nature-based and technology-based approaches to CDR. The two main strategies for removing carbon from the atmosphere are tree planting and forest restoration or conservation efforts, and direct air capture (DAC), according to a World Resources Institute report released in 2020.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sun Ranch was the first to qualify. Grass absorbs carbon dioxide the same way trees do, but on a smaller scale. Through photosynthesis, each plant takes carbon from the atmosphere and uses it to build more plant matter. When grass dies or trees are cut down, that carbon is released back into the atmosphere.
