How do you reduce the consumption of fossil fuels?

Answer 1

Fossil fuel is coal, oil and natural gas, all being used in travel, industry, and to generate electricity, and all adding carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Countries can reduce fossil fuel use by moving to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).

You personally can reduce your fossil fuel use if you reduce your use of electricity...

• stop driving a car and use public transport
• turn off all lights and appliances at the wall when you leave the room
• Walk short distances
• Use a bicycle
• Buy fuel-efficient or hybrid cars
• Maintain your car properly to increase its mileage
• Drive your vehicle in the economy range
• Adjust your clothing, not the heating and cooling.
• Hang your clothes outside to dry.
• use a water efficient front loading washing machine and always wash a full load.
• just boil enough water for what you need. Not 2 liters for one cup of coffee.

Answer 2

Use alternative renewable energy such as: wind turbines and tidal power generators.

There are many ways of using less fossil fuels: you can start by using more fuel-efficient cars and air conditioners and this will also mean you spend less money on buying fuel.

Answer 3

The major fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. Our worldwide consumption of fossil fuels continues to increase with time. The more developed countries use more fossil fuels. Our personal use is tied to electrical usage and gasoline consumption. So, more fuel efficient cars and houses that are more energy efficient are means of lowering consumption. Development of alternative energy sources reduces our dependence on fossil fuels. Energy generated from wind and solar power at present, contribute very little to our overall energy needs. Biofuels are controversial. Converting crops to fuels, may increase the cost of food. To many in the world, affordable food comes first. Increasing the number of nuclear energy power plants is also controversial, primarily with safety concerns in storing spent nuclear material. Means of reducing fossil fuel consumption is not easy. However, higher prices motivates people to find ways to cut back their energy use. See related links.

Answer 4

One way people can reduce the use of fossil fuels is to use their cars less. Walking or biking is a green alternative. Another way is avoiding excess packaging and recycling what packaging you can.

Answer 5

To reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, you can: 1. Increase energy efficiency by using appliances with lower energy requirements. 2. Invest in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power. 3. Use public transportation, carpooling, or biking instead of driving alone. 4. Support policies that promote the use of clean energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Answer 6

Follow the example of people in Europe and Asia by upporting the use of nuclear energy.

Answer 7

we can reduce fossil fuels by only using an bag for life instead of using plastic bags

also driving 5 miles less a day

Answer 8

we can limit using fossil fuels by increasing solar, wind and water power use.

using renewable sources
