Environmental Awareness Challenge

What is a major cause of air pollution?

• Natural disasters

• Industrial waste

• Household cleaning products

• Vehicle emissions

How does climate change affect weather patterns?

• Climate change has no impact on weather patterns.

• Climate change disrupts traditional weather patterns, leading to more extreme weather events and altered precipitation.

• Weather patterns remain unchanged regardless of climate change.

• Climate change only affects ocean currents, not weather.

What is recycling and why is it important?

• Recycling is a method of creating new products from raw materials.

• Recycling is primarily about making money from waste.

• Recycling is only important for reducing energy consumption.

• Recycling is important because it conserves resources, reduces pollution, and decreases landfill waste.

Name one way to conserve water at home.

• Water the lawn during the hottest part of the day

• Use a hose to wash the car instead of a bucket

• Take longer showers

• Fix leaks in faucets and toilets.

What are some effects of air pollution on health?

• Improved air quality

• Enhanced lung function

• Decreased risk of allergies

• Effects of air pollution on health include respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, aggravated asthma, and increased risk of lung cancer.

How can individuals help reduce climate change?

• Drive more frequently instead of using public transport

• Increase use of single-use plastics

• Adopt sustainable practices like using public transport, reducing energy use, recycling, supporting renewable energy, and eating less meat.

• Ignore recycling and waste management practices

What materials can be recycled?

• Food waste

• Paper, cardboard, glass, metals, plastics, electronics

• Textiles

• Batteries

Why is it important to reduce waste?

• It is important to reduce waste to conserve resources and protect the environment.

• To create more landfill space.

• To promote excessive consumption.

• To increase production costs.

How does conserving water benefit the environment?

• Conserving water harms local wildlife.

• Conserving water leads to more pollution.

• Conserving water increases energy consumption.

• Conserving water benefits the environment by preserving ecosystems, reducing energy use, and decreasing pollution.

What role do trees play in improving air quality?

• Trees enhance air quality by absorbing CO2, releasing O2, and filtering pollutants.

• Trees produce more CO2 than they absorb.

• Trees only provide shade and do not affect air composition.

• Trees have no impact on air quality.
