      I think one thing would be to use less fossil fuels and switch to cleaner fuels like hydrogen.
      Another thing would be to use something called carbon capture and storage. The idea here is that you trap the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that are made when you burn coal and gas, and stop them from going into the atmosphere and causing global warming.

      I wish I had an answer to that. Right now I’m just doing what (hopefully) everyone else is doing – buying the energy for my flat from green sources, not buying vegetables etc from other continents, not owning a car…. that kind of thing. It seems that alternatives to fossil fuel are becoming easier to buy though, for example solar cells and electric cars are becoming really affordable.
