Solution

Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, agriculture and livestock farming add large amounts of $$\mathrm{CO_2}$$, $$\mathrm{CH_4}$$ and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. As an individual, I would save electricity, use public transport or cycle, reduce/reuse/recycle, plant trees, avoid wasting food, and choose renewable energy and sustainable products.
