We then look at 4 methods for reducing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Alternative energy sources, carbon capture, planting trees, international agreements. The pupils will have a worksheet with several tasks to complete such as describing the method, explaining how it reduces CO2 concentrations, rating the method for sustainability and explaining their rating.
