What is a renewable energy source?

• Nuclear energy

• Wave energy

• Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass

• Coal, oil, natural gas

How can we help in environmental conservation?

• Cut down trees, pollute water sources

• Reduce, reuse, recycle, conserve resources, plant trees, support sustainable practices, advocate for environmental policies.

• Waste resources, increase consumption

• Ignore environmental policies

What are the impacts of climate change?

• Decrease in global population

• Increase in fossil fuel consumption

• Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, loss of biodiversity, disruptions to agriculture and water resources

• Expansion of wildlife habitats

Give an example of a sustainable practice.

• Composting

• Recycling

• Burning fossil fuels

• Using plastic straws

How can we prevent pollution?

• By reducing, reusing, and recycling materials, using environmentally friendly products, conserving energy, properly disposing of waste, and supporting policies that promote clean air and water.

• By wasting resources and energy

• By ignoring environmental regulations

• By increasing pollution levels

Name a renewable energy source that comes from the sun.

• Solar energy

• Geothermal energy

• Wind energy

• Hydropower

Why is it important to conserve water?

• Conserving water is important to ensure there is enough clean water for current and future generations, protect the environment, and reduce energy consumption.

• Conserving water leads to higher energy consumption

• There is an unlimited supply of clean water available

• Water conservation has no impact on the environment

What are the effects of air pollution on the environment?

• Promotion of clean energy sources

• Enhanced biodiversity

• Increase in oxygen levels

• The effects of air pollution on the environment include global warming, acid rain, damage to wildlife, and depletion of the ozone layer.

How can recycling help in sustainable living?

• Recycling increases waste, depletes resources, wastes energy, and increases pollution.

• Recycling has no impact on waste reduction, resource conservation, energy savings, or pollution decrease.

• Recycling is a costly process that has no environmental benefits.

• Recycling reduces waste, conserves resources, saves energy, and decreases pollution.

What are some ways to reduce energy consumption at home?

• Using energy-efficient appliances, turning off lights when not in use, sealing windows and doors, using programmable thermostats, and unplugging electronics when not in use.

• Using incandescent light bulbs

• Leaving appliances on standby mode

• Opening windows during extreme weather
