Environmental issues - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Farm animals take up too much space and lead to deforestation and pollution
  - - - 75% of the world's food comes from 12 types of plants and 5 types of animals
      - there are many more different species on our planet, lots of people in asia, africa and south america eat insets
        
        they might be the food of the future they don't need much space and water
    - - some genetically modified plants are stronger and can resist droughts
      - artificial meat
        
        what is it
        
        it's a particular type of meat that is produced in the laboratory by inserting stem cells into a bioreactor
        
        that reproduces the condition of a body by supplying heat and water to allow the cell to reproduce.
        
        How many countries are investing in this artificial meat
        
        Many industries in 25 countries are investing in artificial meat, but Singapore tops the table with $426 million invested
        
        advantages
        
        intensive farming is the cause of 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation and feeding
        
        disadvantages
        
        Farms are good for the ecosystem, they would cause an increase in unemployment
    - - it's an "urban agriculture" that uses tall buildings to grow plants in small spaces with artificial sunlight and a little water
- - - - but it produces more methane
        
        methane is a greenhouse gas nd it contributes to global warming because it traps 30% more heat than CO2 over a period of 100 years
        
        natural gas is neither sustainable nor renewable
- - - - from the app you can remotely control the lighting, electrical switches and electric car charging
- - - - Denmark produces other electricity burning it: almost 80% of domestic rubbish is burnt
      - 1 bag of rubbish provides tree and half hour of electricity for the average home
    - - there are almost 3 thousand automatic machines around the country for people to return bottles and cans
        
        The machines give to people a ticket that you can use as a discount for online purchases or at supermarket
- - - - we need to vote with responsibility and reason supporting governments with "green plans"
  - - - humans have been burning fossil fuels since industrial revolution
        
        we release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
        
        we are emitting 50Bn tonnes of greenhouse gases every year
        
        we need to keep the global warming within 1.5°C
        
        we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground
        
        governments must invest more in renewable sources of energy (solar, wind, hydroelectric)
  - - - we will get to net zero with some emission that we are going to balance rebuilding ecosystems ad planting trees to suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere
    - - A technology that works like an artificial tree that suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and stock it underground very fast
        
        Doesn't really exist at the moment is a prototype
        
        All our green roadmaps rely on this expensive technology so we need to invest in it
