plant more trees
agreed ^ planting more trees adds back to the environment. building all sorts of new buildings takes a lot of fuels and energy to do so, which isn't good for the environment. now, bottling water, well you're wasting plastic unless you keep reusing the same bottle daily. raising livestock still uses machinery which puts chemicals out into the atmosphere.
Answer 3 is incorrect if all producers were removed, carbon dioxide would decrease in the atmosphere significantly as nothing would be releasing carbon dioxide (no producers) It is kind of like what happened in the carboniferous all these trees produced Lignin nothing could decompose it at the time so essentially these massive trees became carbon traps lowering the temperature of the earth and reducing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Eventually these trees formed coal that we burn today, so we are essentially returning the earths atmosphere to that of the pre-carboniferous days. The cycle between consumers and decomposers seems incorrect because consumers are decomposers and furthermore decomposers are producers of carbon. Remember it is saying all producers of carbon are removed, assuming it means everything that releases CO2 is removed. the plant more trees is correct all other processes would increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, unless the schools were made of alive trees.
4 is definitly plant more trees and i also agree with @australopithecus
Check your answer for question 3 again- think about it if all the producers were eliminated, we would have no factories puffing out carbon dioxide in the air, or even vehicles- that would mean no carbon dioxide- there would be no decomposers. For question 4, bottiling more water will use up more petrochemicals as it is made of plastic, not fogetting the energy used in the manufacturing process by machines, fossil fuel neededing, intensifying global warming. And, grazing cattle produce methane released into the atmosphere, i.e cows.
