a) Drive cars and heating and cooling buildings

b) Use renewable energy sources such as solar panels. Recycle. Compost foods and grow gardens. Plant trees. Bike or walk instead of use other modes of transportation

a) Drive cars and heating and cooling buildings

a) Heating and cooling homes emits lots of greenhouse gases

b) In the summer you can turn off air conditioners at night or when you are not home. Same with heaters in the winter

a) Heating and cooling homes emits lots of greenhouse gases

Heating my apartment, riding on a bus to school, heat in school buildings, people driving cars, planes flying overhead.

My family recycles and tries to conserve as much water as possible

Stewardship is a good idea because it holds us accountable for how our actions affect the environment

By reducing greenhouse gas emissions the health of the environment will be better than it currently is, and the health of local green spaces around me will increase my standard of living and desire to be outside.

a) trees act as carbon sinks to reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the environment.

a) Carbon offset credits are part of a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If you are a large emitter of such greenhouse gases you can spend money to purchase these credits which will be used to fund projects and activities that reduce or avoid greenhouse gas emissions. We should use them to reduce our impact on the environment

b) Concerns are that not enough money is contributed by large greenhouse gas emitters. Another is deciding which projects get to use the credits to fund themselves

c) cost should not be the only consideration, efficiency should also be considered and perhaps the ethics behind the company that makes the product. Is it made sustainably?

We must limit greenhouse gas emissions and I agree. The biggest culprits of such emission are cars and industry, so by using more sustainable practices we can reduce emissions

The problem would not be solved. While there would be plenty of money to fund projects that would lower emissions, there would not be enough gain from such projects to truly offset the emissions

Responsible stewardship of Earth means to supervise or take care of our Earth by lessening pollution and living sustainably

As a chemical engineer, most pollution that occurs is a result of processes that people like me have designed to create some product. I feel accountable for the byproducts i produce in my designed processes
