This means they are really environmentally friendly. Only 10% had big carbon footprints. Luckily, they said they would do something to save energy and to respect the world around them more. It’s good that the survey has helped the students become more aware of environmental issues.

But they are not unlimited. We are using up the fuels that were made more than 300 million years ago. They are not renewable like solar power, wind power, hydro power or biomass. Once they are gone they are gone. So, it’s best not to waste fossil fuels. We can save fossil fuels by conserving energy. One simple way to do this is to turn off appliances, TVs and radios that we are not using. We can also turn off lights when no one is in the room. Another way is to go by bike or walk instead of driving cars or motorbikes. 1. Three major forms of fossil fuels are oil, coal and natural gas. T F 2. They were formed right after the time of dinosaurs. T F 3. Once fossil fuels are gone, they will come back later. T F 4. Hydro power and biomass are non-renewable sources. T F 5.
