Introduction
The model of climate on Earth is similar to that of a greenhouse. Therefore, the tremendous variety of fossil fuels produced and released by humanity on a daily basis is called greenhouse gases. All the chemical evaporations, carbon dioxide, and other substances adversely impact the planet and its ecology. The following paper will suggest some methods that are intended to control their presence in the atmosphere.
Driving Ecologically
The first method that will reduce the amount of burned fossil fuels and other toxic evaporations in the air is making the process of driving less polluting. To begin with, it would be proper not to drive at all if it is possible. Some people do not need their own transport. Instead, they can use public buses, planes, or other means to travel to different cities or abroad (Qiao, Li, & Yu, 2017). However, if the use of a car is imminent, it would be smart to drive it ecologically, which implies the avoidance of enormous fuel wastes.
Some drivers who own small or low-powered automobiles have to use them only when it becomes urgent. In turn, individuals with trucks, SUVs, buses, and other large means of transport must consider changing them for something more economical and ecological (Qiao et al., 2017). It appears that many citizens of developed countries buy new electric cars and scooters. The impact they make on ecology is not dependant on their sizes. Therefore, this is the best decision for people living in the 21st century when they need to purchase an automobile.
Implementing the Three “R” Method
The three “R” method (reduce, reuse, and recycle) is known by every child in the modern world. Whenever people buy their products for daily consumption, they must choose from the ones that have less packaging. The garbage that consists predominately of plastic materials is burned or thrown out in the ocean nowadays. Hence another dose of carbon dioxide is released into the air and water (Tan, 2014).
To prevent this waste, it is necessary to buy only ecological products that can be utilized, reused, or recycled in the future. Not only this will help to control greenhouse gases, but it also will be beneficial for families that want to make the world less polluted. It is estimated that by following the given suggestion, one person can avoid producing approximately 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide every year (Tan, 2014). Although this number does not seem to be significant, it has a tremendous weight regarding ecology when it comes to every Earth inhabitant.
Reducing the Use of Energy
Avoiding the overuse of electricity by a single person can prevent the release of 500 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at its minimum (Tan, 2014). When people use sources of energy, they pollute their environment as it has to be produced by factories. Indeed, many developed countries use natural sources of energy. Nevertheless, there are many other regions that do not have enough finances or possibilities to install such ecological devices. Therefore, they need to save hot water and turn off their lights as much as possible to control greenhouse gases (Tan, 2014).
Conclusion
There many different ways to control greenhouse gases. However, driving ecologically is the most efficient among the three considerations offered in the paper. Not only this method reduces the release of carbon dioxide into the air, but it also stops the work of fuel companies and other firms that pollute the planet.
