Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The routine decisions that shape our days - what to have for dinner, where to shop, how to get to work - may seem small,
but collectively they have a big effect on global warming. Americans' per capita emissions of heat-trapping gases is 21 tons
- four times the global average and twice that of other countries with a similar standard of living to our own, such as
France and Japan. That means we can all make choices that will greatly reduce our global warming impact.
Reducing your heat-trapping emissions does not mean forgoing modern conveniences; it means making smart choices,
using energy-efficient products, and understanding which areas of your life generate the most carbon emissions. What's
more, making climate-friendly choices will save you money at the same time!
First, eat less meat, especially beef. Food accounts for a sizable portion of our emissions. If you want to make cuts here,
your best option is to reduce your consumption of meat, especially beef. That’s because a pound of beef is responsible for
some 18 times the emissions of a pound of pasta. An average family of four that decides to cut their meat intake in half
could avoid roughly three tons of emissions annually.
Secondly, upgrade your refrigerator and air conditioner, especially if they are more than five years old. New ones are
twice as efficient or more. For fridges: if they’re old, an upgrade can pay for itself in as little as three years in energy
savings alone. Look for the Energy Star label when you shop for a new fridge or any other appliance, especially freezers,
furnaces, air conditioners, and water heaters, which use the most energy. These items may cost a bit more initially, but the
energy savings will pay back the extra investment within a couple of years.
