The best way to prevent the complications caused by high levels of carbon in our atmosphere is to not let it into the atmosphere in the first place. It is much harder to collect the carbon in atmosphere when it is dispersed all around.
There are many ways like biking, walking rather than taking the bus, having a plant at home etc. to realize this idea.
As a computer engineering student what I recommend my fellow computer engineering students is to push themselves hard to write efficient code that uses less computing power to run and use power saving mode when not doing something that demands high power input. It might seem insignificant at first but since computer programs can be easily copied and run on other devices it adds up overtime and will make a trend of low consumption high yield which is beneficial for everyone. By tempting myself to write more efficient code both made me a better programmer and is implicitly beneficial to the ecological balance of the earth.
