What are three ways to reduce or to help minimize greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

Answer 1

To minimise greenhouse gases we have to:

1. Cut down our use of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which emits carbon dioxide, man's biggest greenhouse gas. We burn fossil fuels in industry, transport and in the generation of electricity. So walk, cycle, carpool, bus and train rather than plane and private vehicle. Turn off lights and all devices at the wall when not in use.
2. Plant and regrow huge forests to make up for the ones we have cut down. Vegetation, through photosynthesis, absorbs carbon dioxide and stores the carbon. Trees store carbon for hundreds of years in their roots, trunks, branches and leaves, so they take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
3. Methane is the other main greenhouse gas we can control. Cattle belch and decomposing animal waste often produce methane. If we all became vegetarian one day a week that would cut down the world's demand for red meat.
