A B C D?
The correct order from greatest to least impact to reduce consumption of fossil fuels is:
D) carpool to work, walk to work, drive an electric car to work
To order the activities from the greatest to least impact to reduce consumption of fossil fuels, we need to consider the emissions produced by each activity.
Option A:
- Walk to work: No fossil fuel consumption or emissions.
- Carpool to work: Reduced fossil fuel consumption and emissions compared to driving alone.
- Drive alone to work: Highest fossil fuel consumption and emissions.
Option B:
- Drive an electric car to work: No fossil fuel consumption or emissions (assuming the car is charged using renewable energy).
- Walk to work: No fossil fuel consumption or emissions.
- Carpool to work: Reduced fossil fuel consumption and emissions compared to driving alone.
Option C:
- Drive alone to work: Highest fossil fuel consumption and emissions.
- Drive an electric car to work: No fossil fuel consumption or emissions.
- Carpool to work: Reduced fossil fuel consumption and emissions compared to driving alone.
Option D:
- Carpool to work: Reduced fossil fuel consumption and emissions compared to driving alone.
- Walk to work: No fossil fuel consumption or emissions.
- Drive an electric car to work: No fossil fuel consumption or emissions.
Based on the analysis, the correct order from greatest to least impact to reduce consumption of fossil fuels would be:
Option C: Drive alone to work, drive an electric car to work, carpool to work
The correct order is:
A) drive alone to work, drive an electric car to work, carpool to work
This is because driving alone to work has the greatest impact on fossil fuel consumption, as it involves using a regular gasoline-powered car.
Driving an electric car to work has a lesser impact, as electric cars produce zero emissions and do not rely on fossil fuels.
Carpooling to work has the least impact, as it involves sharing the ride with others, reducing the number of cars on the road and therefore the overall fossil fuel consumption.
Thus, the correct order is A) drive alone to work, drive an electric car to work, carpool to work.
