Vocabulary Quiz on Climate Change

What is Climate Change?

• Long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns caused by natural factors and human activities, leading to global warming and environmental changes.

• The sector involved in the production, manufacturing, and distribution of clothing, accessories, and footwear.

• Gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, released into the atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to global warming and climate change.

• Non-renewable energy sources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, and used in factories and power plants.

What is the Fashion Industry?

• The sector involved in the production, manufacturing, and distribution of clothing, accessories, and footwear.

• Long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns caused by natural factors and human activities, leading to global warming and environmental changes.

• Gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, released into the atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to global warming and climate change.

• Natural or artificial reservoirs, such as forests and oceans, that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change.

What are Greenhouse Gas Emissions?

• Gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, released into the atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to global warming and climate change.

• The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted worldwide, contributing to global warming and climate change.

• The practice of obtaining materials and resources in a way that minimizes negative environmental impacts.

• The ability of a system, such as a community or industry, to adapt and recover from the impacts of climate change.

What are Fossil Fuels?

• Non-renewable energy sources, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals, and used in factories and power plants.

• Materials derived from waste feedstock or innovative sources, such as recycled plastics or organic fibers, used as substitutes for traditional materials in fashion production.

• The process of recycling existing textile fibers to create new ones, reducing the need for resource-intensive production processes and minimizing waste generation.

• A sustainable approach to fashion that aims to reduce waste, promote recycling, and minimize the industry's impact on the environment and climate change.

What is Deforestation?

• The clearing or removal of forests or trees, often to make way for agricultural or industrial activities, leading to the release of stored carbon dioxide and loss of biodiversity.

• The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted worldwide, contributing to global warming and climate change.

• Energysources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, which have lower carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels.

• The practice of obtaining materials and resources in a way that minimizes negative environmental impacts.

What is Textile Waste?

• Discarded or unused textiles, including clothing, fabrics, and fibers, that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions when landfilled or burned.

• Natural or artificial reservoirs, such as forests and oceans, that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

• A sustainable approach to fashion that aims to reduce waste, promote recycling, and minimize the industry's impact on the environment and climate change.

• The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted worldwide, contributing to global warming and climate change.

What is a Carbon Footprint?

• The total amount of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, or industry.

• The process of recycling existing textile fibers to create new ones, reducing the need for resource-intensive production processes and minimizing waste generation.

• A sustainable approach to fashion that aims to reduce waste, promote recycling, and minimize the industry's impact on the environment and climate change.

• The ability of a system, such as a community or industry, to adapt and recover from the impacts of climate change.

What is Circular Fashion?

• A sustainable approach to fashion that aims to reduce waste, promote recycling, and minimize the industry's impact on the environment and climate change.

• The practice of obtaining materials and resources in a way that minimizes negative environmental impacts.

• The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted worldwide, contributing to global warming and climate change.

• Natural or artificial reservoirs, such as forests and oceans, that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

What is Renewable Energy?

• Energy sources that are naturally replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, which have lower carbon emissions compared to fossil fuels.

• The process of recycling existing textile fibers to create new ones, reducing the need for resource-intensive production processes and minimizing waste generation.

• The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted worldwide, contributing to global warming and climate change.

• The ability of a system, such as a community or industry, to adapt and recover from the impacts of climate change.

What is Fiber-to-Fiber Recycling?

• The process of recycling existing textile fibers to create new ones, reducing the need for resource-intensive production processes and minimizing waste generation.

• The practice of obtaining materials and resources in a way that minimizes negative environmental impacts.

• The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted worldwide, contributing to global warming and climate change.

• Natural or artificial reservoirs, such as forests and oceans, that absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
