Greenhouse Gases: Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to global warming. Examples include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).
Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels are energy sources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contributes to carbon emissions. Examples include coal, oil, and natural gas.
Renewable Energy: Renewable energy refers to energy generated from sources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight, wind, or water. Switching to renewable energy can help reduce carbon emissions by replacing fossil fuel-dependent power sources.
