In theory, the two ways would be split into those that take it out of the atmosphere and those that reduce emissions. Reducing emissions would primarily come by conserving energy, slowing deforestation, and using less fuel in automobiles. Taking it out is trickier, as there isn't one thing that has proven particularly effective or cost-efficient yet.

What are two major reservoirs of carbon dioxide on earth?

2 major "sinks" are the ocean and the forest. Forests take up CO2 by photosynthesis, though they also respire much of it back to the atmosphere. Similarly, oceans take up a lot of it but also outgas most of it.
