climate change
water conservation
heating fossil fuels
extreme weather
water pollution
air pollution
predicting weather
hurricanes and storms
drought
crops dying
hot conditions causing fresh water to evaporate
drinking water available reduces
solution? water irrigation
flooding
buildings destroyed
wastes water
houses rotting
expensive renovations needed
poeple become homeless
money needed to rebuild
poverty
not always accurate
expensive
needs specialised experience
finite resources
shouldn't be reliant on them, not sustainable in the long-term
solution? more efficient insulation
solution?other sources of energy
renewable energy
pollution
bad air quality
global dimming
cause bad health problems
reducing fresh water supplies
cause - use of single use plastics
killing animals
choke on the plastic
contaminated by oil and harmful substances
solution? filtering water
cause water born dieases e.g. cholera
kills people
poor sanitary conditions
solution? resuable or renewable products
infections
factories
harmful toxins
CO2 emissions
health conditions
cause - vechies and transport
planes
cars
global dimming - blocking sunlight
plants die
solution? electric
other modes of transport e.g. public transport - buses and trains
diesel and petrol - polluting
bad air quality
health problems
drop in temperatures
less food - hunger
limited water supplies
collecting water
solution? recycling 'grey water'
reducing water wastage
more effective washing
solution? lattice shower
solution? using less water
shorter showers
do the laundry less often or make sure to fill
more water efficient washing machines
fix leaky tapes, toilets, etc.
solution? more water sources
desalination
rainwater harvesting
