What are ways we can reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere???

Please help! This is for school, and I’ve already put down:

Plant more trees (trees absorb carbon dioxide)

And reduce amount of cars [carpool, public transit, bike, walk, etc.]

Any others?

MUCH APPRECIATED

Use less electricity; electricity is often created by burning fossil fuels, and that puts carbon dioxide back into the air. Use solar power, wind power, water power, etc. Use fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent lamps.

Recycle! It takes much less fuel to recycle something most of the time than to make new stuff.

Help to preserve the rainforests; they are truly the lungs of the planet.

Likewise, help to preserve the health of the oceans; algae is one of the biggest producers of oxygen in our ecosystem.

Try researching on stromatolites, they’re cyanobacteria present when the world was young. They also made the air breathable.

Another thing is innovating technology. It makes technology more cost efficient and ecologically friendly. (e.g. hybrid cars and solar panels)

Also, try not eating beans and eggs for breakfast, it builds up gas and that’s mostly carbon-dioxide in methane form.

There is really nothing you can do, it is a self balancing system, except to kill every living thing. That would take care of it for sure.

Any energy you create, including solar panels, produce CO2. In fact solar panels take 20 years of energy to produce and very seldom last 20 years. A very bad investment. Riding your bike produces CO2.

that question is creats a paradox that can’t be answered. First thing is people will have to see the effects of it. and as of now there are no effects to us personally so we choose not to address the problem as of right now. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE BIGGEST EMITTERS OF IT USA AND EUROPE. you would have to start there first
