How do we lessen or eliminate emission of CO2?

Question

How do we lessen or eliminate emission of CO2?

Answer 1

More hardwood trees (certain variety of trees) planted will process more carbon emissions. Not any old tree will do this. Getting rid of cars would be the biggest beneficial influence, or changing there fuel consumption to a non toxic emission.

Answer 2

Ride a bike.  To view your carbon footprint go to: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissio...  I live in a rural area and subsist very comfortably on solar power and wood heat, so I figured that my carbon footprint would be pretty low...not so as I discovered.  I have to drive a lot to get groceries and to go to work.  My mileage alone is disgraceful.    I played with a couple of different options on the EPA website to help me understand what can make a difference, and driving was certainly the biggest problem.  It is a very helpful site that allows you to simply  estimate your carbon footprint, then you can think about making the changes that suit you.  Knowledge is power, and every bit can make a difference:)

Answer 3

STOP THE SMOKING!!!

WALK SOMETIMES

FORGET THE AUTO

TO BUY ONE BYCICLE

TO LEAVE A SIMPLE LIFE WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR FAMILY.

BREATH, BREATH AND BREATH.

I THINK IS INTERESTING FOR THE PLANET.

Answer 4

First, we can't eliminate our emission of CO2, it is the byproduct of respiration.  If everyone on the planet stopped breathing we could eliminate CO2 emissions...

There are hundreds of ways to reduce our emissions.  Things like higher efficiency automobiles, cleaner burning energy (such as nuclear instead of coal burning power plants, or even better, solar, wind and geothermal power), and reducing our energy use through things like compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Answer 5

We all need a life style change.. We Americans are over consumers, and it's slowly taking a toll. Renewable energy sources can lessen the toxic emissions if we gave it a chance.

Answer 6

Your personal vehicle is one of the most energy intensive things in your life - buy a bike, electric or not... and don't drive so much.

Answer 7

Hold your breath.

Why would you want to do that anyway?  Don't you like plants and trees?  They need CO2 to survive.

Answer 8

wecant eliminate co2 because the largest producer of co2 is living things by exhaling oxygen 200000 pounds a day.also its all a crock of **** because there are no logical facts to prove it but there are logical facts that deny we are causing it and that its fake.money makes the world go round

Answer 9

Looks like you have you eyes open. Can’t say that about to many people in society today. Most of us walk around with blinders until a catastrophe hits, then we wake up pretty quick. Unfortunately we go blind again a few months later…

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”

The house is built utilizing natures natural elements, in the shape of an octagon with 8ft wide arch doors on every wall to catch every angle of wind (typical 4 sided homes have half the chance as one with 8 sides. A circle being the most efficient design). Woodburning stoves, solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet.

We also built many green small cabins on the ranch that we offer to family, friends and our on-site off-grid workshop guests, including one straw bale, one papercrete, earth bag and adobe, one cob and cordwood, one underground and rammed earth, one log and post and beam and one rock. Each one actually started as a test for what the main house would be and were later finished and turned into guest cabins. I later wrote a guide on how to build with alternative materials using alternative methods for next to nothing.

We raise meat and milk goats, chickens for meat and eggs, ducks for meat and eggs, trap havilina (wild boar pig), rabbit, quail. brew our own beer from home grown products, preserve our fruits, vegetables, etc. smoke and jerky the meat, make our own soap, cheese.

There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn't happened yet). Water is caught and storaged from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

my home has all the comforts listed above plus some. we live very comfortable without effecting the environment. just saying that tol et you know it's possible. you may not want to go as extreme as me and my family but anywhere in between is something.

Without getting to in depth here, Using alternative fuels in your vehicles and harnessing your own electricity from the sun, water, earth and wind are the 2 are key elements in making a green transition and erasing your carbon footprint.

here's a calculator to find out how much of a green impact your making (carbon footprint)

if you'd like to make your next step feel free to contact me personally at www agua-luna com

I've been installing home made Solar panels. Solar stoves, Solar batch and inline hot water heaters. Solar radiant heating. Solar home heating and AC, along with home made wind gens and other alternative energy items for the last 3 years.

You can even make the above projects on site with simple parts from the local hardware stores or auto stores or junk yards. For more info check out some guides I wrote / compiled on how to DIY www agua-luna com

Again these projects can be accomplished anywhere by anyone.

if you absolutely can't do anything in your home at least you can put alternative fuels in your car. most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.

The trick is finding fuel.

I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

as for recyling the best way i've found without taking money from your won pocket is to join a free freecycle group in your area or visit the habitat for humanity.

If you’d like help in making your self sufficient steps, feel free to contact me directly. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com

on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others “help the environment”.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Answer 10

Lots of ways. Outlaw all exercising as that increases our exhaling CO2. Build nuclear power plants (lots of them). Kill off all the life on the planet. Pass a law stating that exhaling is against the law. Require anyone who believes in global warming to travel ONLY by bicycle. Have California and all its private jet flying libs fall into the ocean. Put Al Gore on the Adkins Diet. Resurrect the n**i party to ensure everyone drives Toyota Prius'. Do human experiments and turn all living people into "swamp things". Eliminate all the worthless hot air being created by Democratic Debates.

These are just a few of the ideas. Of course, we could go on living our lives and not worry about it as it is a made up "disaster".
