QUIZ: The 101 on Carbon Footprints
Test your knowledge.
Here’s a quick refresher from high school science: a “greenhouse gas” is a type of gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and warms the planet. Carbon dioxide, also known as CO2, is just one type of greenhouse gas. When CO2 is released through natural processes and human activities, like volcanic eruptions or driving a car, the emissions contribute to the Earth’s rising temperatures and drive climate change.*
Take the quiz to see how much you know about greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Plus, find out how you can take small actions at home to help reduce your carbon footprint and make a big difference for our planet.
