The correct order of activities from greatest to least impact to reduce consumption of fossil fuels is:
1. Drive an electric car to work
2. Carpool to work
3. Walk to work
To order the activities from the greatest to least impact to reduce consumption of fossil fuels, we need to consider the amount of fossil fuel used in each activity.
1. Drive alone to work, drive an electric car to work, carpool to work: In this sequence, the activity with the greatest impact is carpooling to work because it reduces the number of cars on the road and maximizes vehicle occupancy. Next, driving an electric car to work has a considerable impact since electric cars do not rely on fossil fuels for propulsion. Finally, driving alone to work has the least impact as it involves the highest consumption of fossil fuels without any efficiency or shared resources.
2. Walk to work, carpool to work, drive alone to work: In this sequence, walking to work has the greatest impact because it completely eliminates the use of fossil fuels for transportation. Carpooling to work comes next, as it reduces the number of vehicles on the road and promotes shared commuting. Lastly, driving alone to work has the least impact, similar to the previous sequence.
3. Carpool to work, walk to work, drive an electric car to work: The order of impact in this sequence is slightly different. Carpooling to work still has the greatest impact due to shared commuting and reduced fuel consumption. Walking to work comes next, as it eliminates fossil fuel usage. Driving an electric car to work has the least impact in this scenario, as electric cars still require energy from the grid, some of which may be derived from fossil fuels.
4. Drive an electric car to work, walk to work, carpool to work: In this sequence, driving an electric car to work has the greatest impact, as it completely eliminates direct fossil fuel consumption. Next, walking to work eliminates fossil fuel usage. Lastly, carpooling to work has the least impact due to the continuation of fuel consumption, although it is reduced compared to driving alone.
Considering the options provided, the correct order from the greatest to least impact to reduce fossil fuel consumption would be: carpool to work, walk to work, drive an electric car to work.
