Global warming
What is the term for reducing waste by reusing and recycling materials?
Waste reduction
This greenhouse gas is produced by the burning of fossil fuels
Carbon dioxide
This type of renewable energy harnesses the power of wind.
Wind energy
This phenomenon is characterized by rising sea levels, more frequent and intense storms, and melting glaciers.
Climate change
This term refers to the practice of conserving energy and natural resources.
Energy conservation
This potent greenhouse gas is found in refrigerators and air conditioners.
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)
This type of renewable energy uses the heat from the Earth's interior
Geothermal energy
This term refers to the long-term changes in Earth's climate patterns
Climate variability
This term refers to the practice of growing your own food
Gardening or farming
This greenhouse gas is produced by agriculture, particularly rice cultivation.

This type of renewable energy uses the movement of tides and waves to generate electricity.
Tidal and wave energy
This term refers to the process of adapting to the effects of climate change.
Climate adaptation
This term refers to the practice of using products that are less harmful to the environment.
Sustainable consumption
This greenhouse gas is produced by the breakdown of ozone in the stratosphere.
Nitrous oxide
This type of renewable energy uses the natural decay of radioactive materials to generate electricity.
Nuclear energy
This term refers to the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change.
Climate mitigation
This term refers to the practice of reducing one's carbon footprint.
