Although we rely on coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy, some environmental scientists have proposed that we use less fossil fuel. One reason to support this proposal is to

• enable us to preserve rain forests in tropical areas

• help us to reduce the production of carbon dioxide gas

• allow us to decrease the use of fertilizers on crops

• encourage us to end research on wind and water power sources

Which human activity most directly causes a significant increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

• growing corn for food

• not using products containing plastics

• driving cars long distances

• planting large numbers of trees

Nuclear power plants, which produce electrical energy, use large quantities of water for cooling. Often, small fish, larvae, and fish eggs are sucked in along with the cooling water and destroyed. This example illustrates how

• industrialization can have positive and negative effects

• removal of these organisms has no effect on an ecosystem

• direct harvesting increases the natural fish population

• direct harvesting increases the natural fish population
