Test Your Knowledge of Global Warming
9. Which of the following are important ways to reduce your own use of fossil fuels?
Replace your incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs
You are partially correct. In fact, each of these is a way to reduce your "carbon footprint" and use less fossil fuel. Since most electricity is generated by the burning of coal, choosing energy efficient light-bulbs and appliances is an important way to help curb global warming. Automobile emissions are another prime contributor to greenhouse gases, so driving less and driving fuel-efficient vehicles are ways you can make a difference.
Select Energy Star appliances
