Which of the following actions would be most effective in decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere while increasing the amount of biodiversity in an area? Planting more trees to absorb more of the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Converting forests into housing developments to increase the amount of carbon dioxide used. Digging up native prairies so more crops which use more carbon dioxide can be grown. Sowing beans or other legumes along with corn to decrease carbon dioxide fixation.

What is a way that we can slow down climate change? A. Use alternative energy sources such as coal, which produce less carbon dioxide than fossil fuels. B. Fly less often as planes make as much greenhouse gas as 3 months of driving would. C. Cut down trees on our property which produce carbon dioxide. D. Reduce visiting the beach, the heavy foot traffic releases carbon dioxide stored in the sand.
