RP Fuel 2-23-17 Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment, which cause adverse change. Cars have gas and they pollute the Earth. I release about 28.8 tons of carbon annually. My CO2 emissions equals to 2,940 gallons of gasoline consumed. Carbon offsets are investments that reduce carbon emissions. In order to reduce the amount of carbon emissions that I release into the atmosphere, 677 trees would have to be grown. According to Sandra Steinbarger, there are three ways to lower the amount of pollution being released into the atmosphere, One is plant a garden, next one is mow grass without the assistance of fossil fuels, and the last one is replace the clothes dryer with evaporation. There are three ways in my opinion to lower the amount of carbon being released into the atmosphere. One of them is to create less garbage by throwing away less paper. When you need paper, try to use one of your old pieces of paper. My next one is eat more fresh food instead of eating packaged foods. If you eat packaged food, the factory has to make the package and that causes pollution. My last one is to walk more instead of taking transportation, Taking transportation causes pollution. My family does not own a car so that is why I do not release pollution into the air.
