Model Answer Writing I think people must use less fossil fuel for many reasons. First, they are burned in factories, homes and cars. This creates pollution. This also creates the build-up of greenhouse gases and leads to global warming. Second, they are limited. They won’t last forever. Today, they are drilled and spent at the highest rate in history. We can use alternative energy sources like biofuel, solar energy, and wind energy. There are many benefits to using alternative energy. For example, biofuel doesn’t create pollution when burned. It is also renewable. This means that it can never run out. Solar energy and wind energy do not create greenhouse gases. They are also renewable, and sunshine and wind are free. It is important that our countries try to convert to other sources of energy, like Brazil.
