Question

which sustainable practice is paired correctly with its impact on the environment?
using bamboo results in an increased use of forest trees.
practicing contour plowing results in a need for more land.
setting irrigation systems to run longer results in a reduction of water use.
building more wind farms results in a reduction of fossil fuel use.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "Using bamboo" should reduce forest tree use, not increase. Eliminate this.
• "Contour plowing" helps prevent erosion and doesn't need more land. Eliminate this.
• "Longer irrigation" would increase water use, not reduce. Eliminate this.
• Wind farms generate renewable energy, so building more reduces fossil fuel (non - renewable) use. This is correct.

Answer:

D. Building more wind farms results in a reduction of fossil fuel use.
