MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
Large forest masses such as the Amazon rainforest are the ecosystems that capture the most CO2 from the atmosphere.
TRUE
FALSE
Answer explanation
Posidonia Oceanica, a type of Mediterranean seagrass that grows in large meadows in the sea off Ibiza and Formentera, is so effective at capturing CO2 from the atmosphere that it exceeds the Amazon by a significant margin. A single hectare of Posidonia can sequester as much carbon as 15 hectares of Amazon rainforest. For this reason, one of IbizaPreservation’s four strategic projects is Posidonia Protection.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

How much of the oxygen we breathe on the plant comes from the 50,000 km2 of Posidonia in the Mediterranean Sea?
To 30%
To 50%
To 70%
To 80%
Answer explanation
Posidonia acts like a huge pair of lungs, as it is the most efficient system for sequestering CO2. Together with reefs, this makes it a great ally against climate change. In 2022, IbizaPreservation is partnering with the local environmental group Gen-Gob to monitor the Posidonia Oceanica meadows in Cala Vedella, one of the most degraded coves in Ibiza.

How long does a single Posidonia plant take to grow to cover 50m2 of seabed?
1 year
10 years
50 years
100 years
Answer explanation
While a forest can recover relatively quickly, Posidonia takes seconds to destroy and centuries to regenerate. For this reason, at IbizaPreservation we work to raise awareness and this year will be developing a course on responsible sailing aimed at both private boat skippers and nautical companies.

How long does it take one plastic bag to disappear from the planet?
More than 100 years
More than 300 years
More than 500 years
More than 1000 years
Answer explanation
Water pollution by plastic bags causes thousands of deaths of fish and other animals such as cetaceans, turtles and birds. Through Plastic Free Ibiza and Formentera we are fighting against single-use plastics via the implementation of a Balearic-wide certification system. Focused on the hospitality sector - the biggest generator of waste - Plastic Free Balearics rewards businesses who reduce their plastic footprint and has already managed to eliminate nearly 100,000 plastic bottles.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
KM0” agricultural products help us to reduce our environmental footprint even if they are not organic.
TRUE
FALSE
Answer explanation
KM0 or local products are those that are produced less than 100 km from the point of consumption. This means they reduce pollution when transported. A KM0 product is not necessarily organic, as herbicides may have been used in its production. However, organic products can themselves be highly polluting if they have been flown in. IbizaPreservation’s Ibiza Produce project works to promote both organic and KM0 products.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

What percentage of Ibiza and Formentera’s total food needs is covered by local produce?
72%
56%
3.7%
14.3%
Answer explanation
Ibiza and Formentera are only considered to have a "high" level of self-sufficiency in production of alcoholic beverages and dried fruits and nuts. For the majority of products it is non-existent. Our Ibiza Produce project works to improve the food sovereignty of our islands and to promote a circular economy. This kind of data is also compiled by another of our main projects, the Sustainability Observatory. Its aim is to analyse trends and identify challenges, as well as identifying Ibiza’s degree of compliance with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Until IbizaPreservation launched this project in 2018, there was no other entity that systematically collected and analysed such information.
