In a world where people rely solely on fossil fuels for energy, the demand for energy keeps increasing. Without considering cleaner alternatives like solar or wind power, everyone burns fossil fuels more and more. But because these fuels release harmful gasses and smoke when burned, the air and water become very dirty, and plants and animals suffer. What would be the likely outcome if all fossil fuels were used without any consideration for alternative energy sources?

• Increased availability of renewable energy sources

• Accelerated pollution and harm to the environment

• Decreased pollution levels and improved environmental quality

• Plants and animals will become healthier and happier
