Environment
Saving the environment
-
stop littering
fining people, educating others, changing how they think, more bins)
-
going vegan, choosing sustainable options (clothing, food, cars)
-
Air pollution
air is contaminated by gases (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide), liquid, or solid wastes that are produced by factories
-
reduced visibility, unpleasant odours, health problems (respiratory infections, heart disease, lung cancer, allergies, asthma, infant mortality)
greenhouse effect (gases get trapped, they heat up the atmosphere, ozone layer rips?, no protection from uv rays)
Main Issues
industrial revolution, overpopulation
more factories, not sustainable production
pollution in air, soil and water
global warming, increased temperature, melting ice caps, rising sea levels
-
-
people talk about saving the environment, but they don't act (very little is done)
-
Soil pollution
contamination of farmyard waste, sewage sludge (high levels of heavy metals), chemical waste (nuclear testings and industrial waste)
affects the quality of our waters, plants, and food grown in soil
-
overpopulation --> increased demand for meat products --> more animals, not sustainable farms --> more methane and carbon dioxide (mostly cows)
Water pollution
contaminated water from sewage, chemicals, industrial or other waste
oil spills, floodwater from fertilized croplands, wastewater from homes
encountering polluted water can be dangerous, even fatal
diarrhoea, nausea, skin problems,
