Environmental Awareness

What is a renewable energy source that comes from the sun?

• Hydropower

• Wind energy

• Solar energy

• Geothermal energy

How does air pollution affect human health?

• Air pollution affects human health by causing respiratory issues, cardiovascular diseases, and other health problems.

• Air pollution is beneficial for cardiovascular diseases

• Air pollution leads to improved respiratory health

• Air pollution has no impact on human health

Why is it important to conserve water resources?

• There are no negative consequences to depleting water resources

• Water conservation only benefits a few individuals and not society as a whole

• Conserving water resources is important to ensure an adequate supply for current and future generations, protect ecosystems, reduce energy consumption, and mitigate the impacts of droughts and water scarcity.

• Conserving water resources is not important as water is an infinite resource

What are some impacts of climate change on ecosystems?

• Habitat loss, disruption of food chains, extreme weather events, changes in species distribution

• Increased biodiversity, improved soil quality, reduced pollution

Why is biodiversity important for the environment?

• Biodiversity leads to environmental degradation

• Biodiversity only benefits a few species, not the entire ecosystem

• Biodiversity contributes to ecosystem stability, resilience, and productivity, and provides essential services such as pollination, nutrient cycling, and water purification.

• Biodiversity has no impact on the environment

What are some sustainable waste management practices?

• Leaving waste in public spaces

• Dumping waste in water bodies

• Recycling, composting, reducing waste generation, reusing materials, proper disposal methods

• Burning waste in open pits

Which renewable energy source relies on the Earth's heat?

• Hydropower

• Geothermal energy

• Wind energy

• Solar energy

What are the main causes of water pollution?

• Overfishing, climate change, deforestation

• Deforestation, air pollution, noise pollution

• Mining waste, noise pollution, overfishing

• Industrial waste, agricultural runoff, sewage and wastewater discharge, oil spills, plastic pollution

How can individuals reduce their carbon footprint?

• By supporting unsustainable products and practices

• By increasing energy consumption at home

• By using public transportation, biking or walking instead of driving, reducing energy consumption at home, recycling, and supporting sustainable products and practices.

• By driving more and using less public transportation

What is the role of forests in maintaining biodiversity?

• Forests decrease biodiversity by limiting space for species

• Forests have no impact on biodiversity

• Forests only support a single species, reducing overall biodiversity

• Forests provide habitats for diverse plant and animal species, preserving genetic diversity and supporting the interconnected web of life.
