How is CO2 is a contributor of the Greenhouse effect ?
It decays plant and animal matter.
It helps trap infrared radiation.
It helps with the process of Respiration.
CO2 is the best greenhouse solution to fight climate change.
Composting is an example of a positive human impact on the Carbon Cycle. What makes it a positive impact?
Composting allows organic waste products to decompose naturally.
Compost is rich in nutrients—nitrogen and carbon in particular. This compost is then put back in the soil to help plants grow.
By putting waste products back into the earth instead of throwing them away, humans can positively impact the carbon, nitrogen AND water cycles.
Humans impact the carbon cycle during the combustion (burning) of any type of fossil fuel, which includes oil, coal, & natural gas.
