Class 5 Environmental Sanitation

What are some waste management practices that can help reduce environmental pollution?

• Ignoring waste segregation practices

• Recycling, composting, proper disposal of hazardous waste, reducing single-use plastics, promoting sustainable consumption

• Burning waste in open areas

• Dumping waste in water bodies

How can individuals prevent water pollution in their daily lives?

• Increase the use of single-use plastics

• Waste water as much as possible

• Dump chemicals and hazardous waste in water bodies

• Reduce the use of single-use plastics, properly dispose of chemicals and hazardous waste, conserve water, and participate in local clean-up efforts.

Explain the importance of ecosystem conservation methods in maintaining biodiversity.

• Ecosystem conservation methods have no impact on biodiversity

• Biodiversity is not affected by habitat protection

• Preventing species extinction is not a goal of ecosystem conservation

• Ecosystem conservation methods are essential for protecting habitats, preventing species extinction, and promoting ecological balance.

Differentiate between biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Provide examples of each.

• Non-biodegradable waste can be easily broken down by natural processes.

• Biodegradable waste can be broken down by natural processes into simpler substances, while non-biodegradable waste cannot be easily decomposed. Examples of biodegradable waste include food scraps, paper, and yard waste. Examples of non-biodegradable waste include plastic, glass, and metal.

• Biodegradable waste can only be decomposed by humans, while non-biodegradable waste can decompose naturally.

• Examples of biodegradable waste include plastic, glass, and metal.

Why is it important to properly dispose of biodegradable waste?

• To prevent environmental pollution, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote recycling and composting.

• To discourage recycling and composting

• To promote environmental pollution

• To increase greenhouse gas emissions

What are some common methods used for recycling non-biodegradable waste?

• Manual recycling, organic recycling, and waste dumping

• Upcycling, composting, and incineration

• Mechanical recycling, chemical recycling, and energy recovery

• Biological recycling, thermal recycling, and landfill disposal

Discuss the impact of improper waste management on the environment.

• Waste management does not affect wildlife or habitats

• Improper waste management has a detrimental impact on the environment by causing pollution, habitat destruction, wildlife harm, health risks, and contributing to climate change.

• Proper waste management leads to environmental degradation

• Improper waste management has no impact on the environment

How can communities work together to promote environmental sanitation?

• Communities can promote environmental sanitation by cutting down trees

• Communities can promote environmental sanitation by increasing pollution levels

• Communities can promote environmental sanitation by ignoring waste management practices

• Communities can promote environmental sanitation by organizing clean-up drives, implementing waste segregation programs, educating residents on proper waste disposal methods, and collaborating with local authorities for effective waste management.

Explain the concept of composting and its role in waste management.

• Composting is a process where inorganic materials decompose into toxic waste, increasing pollution.

• Composting is a process where organic materials decompose into nutrient-rich soil, reducing waste and enriching soil.

• Composting is a method of burying waste in landfills, contributing to environmental degradation.

• Composting involves burning organic materials to reduce waste, releasing harmful emissions.

What are some innovative solutions for reducing plastic pollution in the environment?

• Encouraging more plastic production

• Implementing biodegradable plastics, promoting reusable alternatives, increasing recycling efforts, implementing plastic bans, and investing in research for new sustainable materials.

• Dumping plastic waste into oceans

• Ignoring the issue and hoping it goes away
