Lesson 11 Food and environment

Which of the following is a collective habit that contributes to global warming?

• 1. Current food behavior contributes to greenhouse gas emissions

• 1. Trending vegan diets consume plants from the environment.

• Excessive fishing impacts how the ocean absorbs greenhouse gasses.

• 1. Too much food waste generates greenhouse gasses when decomposing.

Greenhouse gasses are defined as any type of gas that contributes to the:

• Burning of fossil fuels

• 1. Change of temperature

• 1. Melting of polar caps

• Heating of the atmosphere

• 1. Use of aerosol sprays

• 1. Humans burning trash

• 1. Combustion of fossil fuels

When a product is labeled as GMO, it means that?

• 1. It contains glutamate additives

• 1. It has been genetically altered

• 1. It was grown organically

Deforestation increases global warming because:

• 1. Trees give shadow to the ground

• 1. Trees provide food for humans

• 1. Trees store rain water to cool the weather

How can our consumption have such a serious and lasting impact on the entire planet?

• Challenges in agriculture

• Increased likelihood of natural disasters, health epidemics,

• It all boils down to how much our food behavior contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, and the extent to which these emissions impact the earth’s temperature.

• High amounts of methane (a major greenhouse gas) are produced when cattle digest their food and produce waste.
