Question

Suggest three measures to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.

Answer 1

People can do simple things to decrease energy consumption.

1. Conserve Energy:
   1. Energy consumption can be reduced by simply turning off lights when a room is not in use, replacing light bulbs with longer-lasting fluorescent bulbs, and only running air conditioning when a home is occupied.
2. Reuse Products:
   1. Many consumer goods can be reused instead of discarded. For example, use a fabric grocery shopping bag instead of paper or plastic
3. Recycle Materials:
   1. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 75 percent of American waste is recyclable.
   2. You can help reduce the reliance on fossil fuels by recycling your waste instead of sending it to a landfill.
