Power plants are polluting the atmosphere

After the advent of successful engines in the 18 th century, the consumption of fossil fuel has increased. Since then,
the consumption has increased exponentially, which moved more carbon to the atmosphere than it is taken-out. As a
result, the natural balance of the carbon cycle has been disturbed and it has also caused global warming. The other
way in which humans affect the carbon cycle is by certain industrial processes that release carbon dioxide further in
the atmosphere.

It is highly advisable to shift from inefficient and conventional methods of transportation and industrial operations to
efficient and green methods. This way the impact on the carbon cycle can be reduced.

Facts

 Due to human activities, the level of carbon dioxide concentration has crossed 400 ppm (part per million).
This is almost double the highest level rise of carbon dioxide for the past 1 million years.
 The body of an average-sized person is roughly made of 18% carbon atoms.
 Most of the carbon on the Earth is present in the crust. But some geological evidence suggests that carbon
is also present in the core of the Earth in the form of iron carbide.

That iss why consuming some
