Expert Answer

If you live in a walkable area, implement the 30-minute rule. If it's an under 30 minute walk, walk to your destination instead of driving. Biking is another good alternative. If you must drive, try carpooling to reduce your impact.

Question

What are the technologies that help to reduce greenhouse gases?

Community Answer

Filtering in US factories reduces or completely washes out traces of CO2. Fridges are reducing use of a substance that can destroy the ozone layer. Electric cars were introduced not long ago, but help the problem.
