Certain actions and/or their method can affect the environment, such as leaving the sink on while brushing your teeth or not turning off a light when you leave the room.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answers may vary. View explanation.

Explanation:

There are every day decisions that may add carbon dioxide to the environment.  

Problems:

• Burning of fossils fuels.  Example: Using cars as transportation. The average car releases around 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.

• Deforestation. Carbon dioxide is released from dead organisms such as trees. Example: As of 2021, 15 billion trees are lost to deforestation.

Solutions:

• Instead of taking your car to work or school, carpool with a friend. Riding your bike and taking the bus are also good solutions that help minimize carbon dioxide releases.

• In spare your time, grab a couple of friends and plant some trees! Even planting just a few trees is a great start to help the planet.

Have a great day!
