You are going to make a poster to tell your schoolmates ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. For your reference:
How To Reduce the Amount of Carbon Dioxide Going into the Air.
Use public transportation, walk or bike to school or work. If you must drive, join a carpool and use a car that gets high mileage.
● Use energy-efficient appliances and weatherize your home.
Use renewable energy sources, like solar heart or wind power ,which don’t emit carbon dioxide.
● Switch from coal and oil to natural gas in power plants and factories .Natural gas releases the least amount of carbon dioxide. Step 4. Listening and discussing
Now turn to page 31. Li Ben is doing an interview with Professor Chen about the use of different sources. Read the statements and listen to the tape recording of the interview to decide which statement the professor does not agree with. We’ll have to stop using fossil fuels.
About 90% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels. We can replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy. Nuclear power is a good source of energy.
In the future, we’ll need new technologies to replace fossil fuels.
It’s the developed countries who are to blame for producing most of the carbon dioxide.
