Net Zero - What takes away greenhouse gases?

What takes away greenhouse gases?

• Trees and plants! They breathe in carbon dioxide during the day, like we breathe in oxygen.
• Special technologies that can capture carbon dioxide from the air and store it safely.  (Carbon capture and storage, or CCS).
• The ocean absorbs a lot of carbon dioxide - about 30% of all the carbon dioxide humans produce.
• Using renewable sources of energy, such as solar panels.

These things push down on the opposite side of the see-saw, helping to cool the Earth down.
