Technology's Environmental Impact Assessment

The video discusses how technology impacts the environment, highlighting both negative effects such as climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, and electronic waste, and positive solutions like renewable energy, energy efficiency, recycling, conservation, and smart technologies. It emphasizes the importance of balancing technology's benefits with its potential negative effects to work towards sustainable solutions.

What are the two types of effects technology has on the environment?

• Both positive and negative effects

• No effects at all

• Only negative effects

• Only positive effects

Which human activity is a major contributor to climate change?

• Planting trees

• Recycling

• Burning fossil fuels

• Using solar panels

What is a significant consequence of increased pollution due to technology?

• Improved air quality

• Increased biodiversity

• Decreased industrial output

• Harmful effects on human health

What is a major cause of biodiversity loss?

• Recycling programs

• Urbanization and deforestation

• Increased rainfall

• Use of renewable energy

What is a major environmental concern associated with the constant upgrade of technology?

• Increased energy efficiency

• Decrease in natural resource use

• Reduction in greenhouse gases

• Increase in electronic waste

How can renewable energy technology benefit the environment?

• By depleting natural resources

• By increasing electronic waste

• By increasing fossil fuel use

• By reducing greenhouse gas emissions

What is one way technology has improved energy efficiency?

• By producing less efficient products

• By increasing energy consumption

• By creating more energy-efficient buildings

• By increasing greenhouse gas emissions

How does recycling technology help the environment?

• By increasing pollution

• By conserving natural resources

• By depleting resources

• By increasing waste

What role do smart technologies play in environmental conservation?

• They have no impact on the environment

• They optimize resource use and reduce waste

• They increase greenhouse gas emissions

• They increase resource consumption

Why is it important to consider both the benefits and negative effects of technology?

• To focus only on technological advancements

• To increase electronic waste

• To ignore the negative impacts

• To work towards sustainable solutions
