Question

dioxide from the atmosphere. carbon dioxide lowers hich is harmful to organisms living in the ocean. to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide being added
cutting down rain forests to use the land to farm crops
constructing homes on farmland rather than on vacant lots in the cities
going to school in cars instead of riding the bus with other students
using electrically powered devices instead of those powered by fossil fuels
clear all

Explanation:

The goal is to identify the action that reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide.

1. Cutting rainforests removes plants that absorb CO₂, increasing emissions.
2. Building on farmland may reduce crop/plant cover that sequesters CO₂.
3. Driving individual cars uses more fossil fuels, releasing more CO₂ than shared buses.
4. Using electric devices (when electricity comes from low-carbon sources, or directly avoids fossil fuel combustion) cuts CO₂ emissions compared to fossil fuel-powered devices.

Answer:

D. Using electrically powered devices instead of those powered by fossil fuels
