Propane and methane are commonly used for heating in winter, and the leakage of these fuels, even for short periods, poses a fire danger for homes. Which gas leakage do you think poses a greater risk for fire? Explain.
A Jeep gets about 15 miles per gallon during city driving and is estimated to emit 11.3 tons of CO2 per year. If a single tree can absorb 30 pounds of CO2 per year, how many trees would it take to absorb the jeep's emissions for one year? 1 ton equals 2000 pounds.
