Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -As a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere, contributing to global warming. In contrast, renewable energy sources like solar and wind power don’t produce carbon emissions as part of the electricity generation process. Instead they harness the natural energy from the sun and the weather.
Detailed explanation-3: -We can reduce emissions by shifting to alternative technologies that either don’t need gasoline (like bicycles and electric cars) or don’t need as much (like hybrid cars). Using public transportation, carpooling, biking, and walking leads to fewer vehicles on the road and less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stop buying your water in plastic. Incorporate walking or biking to some of your regular short-trip destinations. Turn off lights and unplug devices when you’re not using them. Keep the tires on your car properly inflated and get regular tune-ups. More items
