    The carbon cycle shows how carbon is recycled -Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants in order to carry out photosynthesis and make food. -The carbon from the carbon dioxide is used to make carbohydrates‚ fats and proteins that make up the plant body. For example the cell wall of plants is made from cellulose - a carbohydrate. -Some of this carbon is returned into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide when the plant respires. When these plants are eaten by other animals this carbon becomes part

    Carbon tax is an environmental tax levied on the carbon content of fuels. It is a form of carbon pricing. Carbon is present in every hydrocarbon fuel ‚ such as coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas. It is then released as carbon dioxide (CO2) when they are burnt. In contrast‚ non-combustion energy sources—wind‚sunlight‚ hydropower‚ and nuclear—do not convert hydrocarbons to CO2. CO2 is a heat-trapping "greenhouse" gas. Scientists have debated and discussed the potential effects on the climate system of
