Oil 2. Where are the dominant fossil fuels mainly used for in your country? Oil is used mainly as energy source for transportation, but also a quite considerable amount goes to industry. 3. It is your task to create a new policy in order to improve the environmental friendly and sustainable sources and consumption of energy of your country. How would you do that? Think of how you can improve the sources and the consumption of energy. Brazil Is a very rich country when it comes to natural resources and they are not very well used. Using so much fossil fuels in a country with so much potential for renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind Is a waste of resources. The first thing I would do Is investing on increasing the use of these renewable alternatives, above all solar energy, considering the high index of solar incidence that Brazil have for being a tropical country. Another measure to be taken is invest on the quality of public transportation so people start choosing this option of mobility in stead of private cars, reducing the amount of fossil fuels that goes to this sector and the CO2 emission. ![It is not a picture I took myself because I'm away from home right now][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14621413294740274.jpg
