Solution
A way of reducing greenhouse gases is to use fuels which release less greenhouse gases.
Like: (1) L.P.G. (2) C.N.G. (3) L.N.G.
C.N.G. causes minimum pollution. It does not contain lead and lowers maintenance costs.
[But these are also fossil fuels]
Use solar energy, wind energy, hydro-power, hydrogen energy, biofuels and biogas.
