Runoff into local bodies of water

Sink into the foundation of your house

Which of the following is NOT something that would DECREASE your footprint

A CAFO is a concentrated animal feeding operation, meaning that -

many animals are raised on a small lot of land

many animals are allowed to graze on a large area of land

a small number of animals are raised in warehouse-like structures

Which of the following are consequences of CAFOs on environmental and human health? (multiple answers may be correct, so be sure to select ALL correct answers)

Runoff of animal waste into water

Air pollution resulting in respiratory issues in humans

Increased antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria

Overgrazing of grasslands can lead to reduced range quality. Two of the major effects of overgrazing are

eutrophication and increased methane production

higher fire potential and increased productivity

higher primary productivity and ammonification

Which of the following is an example of a mechanical pest management strategy?

filling up cracks in a building's exterior

bringing in natural predators of the pest

Which of the following strategies would help ensure that we can provide food for a growing human population?

reduce the amount of meat consumption worldwide

Increase ethanol production in industrialized nations

encourage parents to have more offspring to increase available farm labor

increase palm oil production in poor countries

reduce the production of nitrogen fertilizers

The United States has established annual catch limits to ensure fishing stocks can recover each year. Which of these statements best describes how these limits are established?

The catch limits are lower than the maximum sustainable yield

The catch limits are equal to the maximum sustainable yield

The catch limits are greater than the maximum sustainable yield

Catch limits are based on consumer demand, not on the health of fish stocks

Which of these is NOT an environmental concern of farming fish?
