Study Notes
Conserving Resources (3 R’s)
- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle are strategies for conserving resources
- Reducing consumption helps minimize waste
- Reusing items extends their lifespan and minimizes waste
- Recycling transforms waste into new products
Using Clean Energy
- Clean energy sources are renewable and sustainable
- Examples include solar, wind, and hydroelectric power
- Clean energy reduces reliance on fossil fuels
Reducing Pollution
- Pollution harms the environment and human health
- Burning fossil fuels releases harmful gases into the air
- Landfills generate waste that attracts pests
Caring for the Environment
- Environmental damage can be caused by natural events and human activities
- Natural events like bushfires, earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions and droughts impact the environment
- Human activities like land pollution, air pollution, water pollution and deforestation disrupt the ecosystem
Environmental Protection
- Environmental protection is crucial for the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants
- It encompasses efforts to conserve resources, reduce pollution, and mitigate the effects of climate change
Health Problems Associated with Pollution
- Air pollution contributes to respiratory problems and lung cancer
- Water pollution can lead to skin infections
- Exposure to harmful gases from cars and factories can cause respiratory problems and lung cancer
Conserving Resources
- The 3 R's are Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
- Reducing, reusing, and recycling resources help conserve our planet
Using Clean Energy
- Using clean energy helps protect our environment
Reducing Pollution
- Pollution can damage the environment and cause health problems
- Pollution can be caused by a variety of sources including oil spills, smoke from burning, harmful gases from cars and factories, and rubbish being dumped
Caring for the Environment
- Caring for the environment is important because of the impact of natural events and human activities
Natural Events
- Natural events that affect the environment include Bushfire, Earthquakes, Floods, Volcanic eruptions, and Droughts
- Bushfires are fires that spread out of control
- Earthquakes are natural events that cause the earth to shake
- Floods are caused by too much water in an environment
- Volcanic eruptions are openings in the earth's surface where lava and ash erupts
- Droughts occur when there is no rain in an environment for a long time
Human Activities
- Human activities that affect the environment include Land Pollution, Air Pollution, Water Pollution, and Deforestation
- Land pollution is caused by rubbish being dumped in landfills and this can become breeding grounds for pests like rats and cockroaches
- Air pollution is caused by polluted air which can be unhealthy and cause breathing problems
- Water pollution is caused by dumping rubbish into the water, the release of wastewater, and oil spills
- Deforestation is the removal of trees and plants from an environment
Pollution
- Oil spills, smoke from burning, harmful gases from cars and factories, and rubbish dumped can all cause pollution
- Pollution can lead to health problems such as breathing problems, lung cancer, and skin infections
