Question

Mention the environmental consequences of the increasing demand for
energy. List four steps you would suggest to reduce the consumption of
energy​

Answer 1

Increasing demand for energy is leading to rapid consumption of fossil fuels, which are exhaustible sources of energy. Burning of fossil fuel at a rapid rate leads to the release of harmful gases in the atmosphere, which can lead to global warming and acid rains.
