Question

which one of these does not add co2 to the atmosphere? planting trees cooking with gas riding in a bus burning wood

Explanation:

To determine which activity does not add \( \text{CO}_2 \) to the atmosphere, we analyze each option:

• Planting trees: Trees absorb \( \text{CO}_2 \) during photosynthesis and store carbon, so this process reduces atmospheric \( \text{CO}_2 \), not add to it.
• Cooking with gas: Combustion of gas (a fossil fuel) produces \( \text{CO}_2 \) as a by - product.
• Riding in a bus: Buses, especially those using fossil fuels, emit \( \text{CO}_2 \) from the combustion of fuel.
• Burning wood: Combustion of wood releases \( \text{CO}_2 \) into the atmosphere.

Answer:

planting trees
