Answer:

280000lb

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we shall be calculating the amount of carbon iv oxide prevented from entering the atmosphere.

Generally we know that 1kwh produces 1.37 lbs of Carbon iv oxide in the atmosphere

Now, using a 100 watt light bulb daily for 8 hours, for a year, the amount of Carbon iv oxide produced will be;

100 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 40040 lb

Using a 30 watt CFL for 8hrs/ day for a year, we have;

30 * 1.37 * 8 * 365 = 120012 lb

Now calculating the amount of CO2 prevented, we have 40040 - 120012 = 280028 lb = 280000 after rounding up
