1. Common well know ways to reduce global emission of greenhouse gases

2. Reduce use of fossil fuels  Increase use of renewable energy sources –Hydrogen fuel cells –Tidal –Geothermal –Solar –Wind –Biomass (biofuel) –Hydroelectirc –Nuclear

3. Energy efficiency  Use more energy efficient cars, lighting, hearing, cooling and other machinery, better building insulation

4. Bucky’s idea  From 1960’s  Link all electrical grids from around the world so that electricity could be shared in off-peak hours to areas of the globe that need more

5. Increase the use of public transportation  E.g – trains, buses –Use less energy –Less pollution (use electricity) –Environmental benefits Traffic Noise Road building

6. Implement ideas such as:  Carbon tax  Carbon credits  Use carbon and nitrogen filters in power stations  Collect all the methane that leaks form land fill sites  Methane can be used as fuel  Reduce deforestation, increase reforestation

7. Assignment  3.4.3 – Research on local and global strategies for reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases
