    Study Notes

    Global Warming Impacts

    • Global warming leads to increased temperatures, resulting in extreme weather events and disruptions to ecosystems.

    Melting Polar Ice Caps

    • The melting of polar ice caps contributes to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities and ecosystems.

    Deforestation Effects on Ecosystems

    • Deforestation disrupts habitats, leading to loss of biodiversity and destabilizing the ecosystem balance.

    Plastic Pollution and Marine Life

    • Plastic pollution harms marine life, causing ingestion and entanglement, which can result in injury or death for various species.

    Planting Trees for Planet Protection

    • Planting trees helps absorb carbon dioxide, enhancing air quality and providing habitats for wildlife.

    Reducing Electrical Use

    • Reducing the use of electrical devices conserves energy, decreases greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigates climate change impacts.

    Plastic Pollution Misconception

    • Plastic pollution is primarily attributed to improper waste management and insufficient recycling efforts.
