What are the two factors of environment? - Biotic factors -- living things in ecosystem - Abiotic factors -- non-living things in ecosystem What are the four major components of environment? - Hydrosphere - includes all water bodies such as lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, and oceans etc. - Lithosphere - means the mantle of rocks constituting the earth's crust. It mainly, contains soil, earth rocks, mountain, etc. - Atmosphere - Atmosphere is a thin layer which contains gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide etc. - Biosphere - Biosphere is otherwise known as the life layer. It refers to all organisms on the earth's surface and their interaction with water and air. What are the 7 principles of Environment? - Nature knows best - All forms of life are important - Everything is connected with everything else - Everything is changes - Everything must go somewhere else - Ours is finite earth - Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of God's creation.

For instance, the destruction of ecosystem, the destruction of habitat, the extinction of wildlife, and pollution. - Environmental Degradation. -- Is the process of making land, water, air, or other parts of the environment dirty and unsafe to use. - Pollution What are the causes of Environmental Degradation? - Air Pollution - Water Pollution - Land Pollution - Noise Pollution - Light Pollution occurs when a species' population exceeds the carrying capacity of its ecological niche. Overpopulation is a major cause of most of the world's problems. - Overpopulation. Occurs when things that aren't normally there are added to the air. A common type of air pollution happens when people release particles into the air from burning fuels. - Air Pollution \_\_\_ can become polluted by household garbage and by industrial waste. In 2010, Americans produced about 250 million tons (226.8 million kilograms) of garbage, consisting of product packaging, grass clippings, furniture, clothing, bottles, food scraps, newspapers, appliances, paint, and batteries. - Land Pollution It happens when chemicals or dangerous foreign substances are introduced to water. These includes chemicals, sewage, pesticides, and fertilizers from agricultural runoff. - Water Pollution It happens when the sound coming from planes, industry, or other sources reaches harmful levels. Research has shown direct links between noise and health, including stress-related illnesses, high blood pressure, speech interference, and hearing loss. - Noise Pollution It is called sky glow, also makes it difficult for astronomers, both professional and amateur, to properly see the stars. - Light Pollution It is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. - Deforestation Overexploitation, also called overharvesting, refers to harvesting a renewable resource to the point of diminishing returns. - Overexploitation of Resources It is most commonly associated with the activities of humans, the fact is that environment are also constantly changing over time. Things like landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and wildfires can completely destroy local plant and animal communities to the point where they can no longer function. - Natural Causes Known as Environmental and Natural Resources Law, describing the network of treaties, statutes, regulations, common and customary laws addressing the effects of human activity on the natural environment. - Environmental Law This was formally established in 1978 with the enactment of Presidential Decree no. 1586 to facilitate the attainment and maintenance of rational and orderly balance between socio-economic development and environmental protection. - Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Statement of 1978 (Presidential Decree 1586) It aims to regulate restrict or prohibit the importation, manufacture, processing, sale, distribution, use, and disposal of chemical substances and mixtures the present unreasonable risk to human health. - Toxic Substances, Hazardous and Nuclear Waste Control Act of 1990 (Republic Act 6969) The law aims to achieve and maintain clean air that meets the National Air Quality guideline values for criteria pollutants, throughout the Philippines, while minimizing the possible associated impacts to the economy. - Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 (Republic Act 8749) In partnership with stakeholders, the law aims to adopt a systematic, comprehensive, and ecological solid waste management program that shall ensure the protection of public health and environment. - Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 (Republic Act 9003) The law aims to protect the country's water bodies from pollution from land-based sources (industries and commercial establishments, agriculture, and community/household activities). - Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004 (Republic Act 9275) The Department of Education (DepEd), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), in coordination with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), and other relevant agencies, shall integrate environmental education in its school curricula at all levels, whether public or private, including in barangay daycare, preschool, non-formal, technical vocational, professional level, indigenous learning, and out-of-school youth courses or programs. - Environmental Awareness and Education Act of 2008 (Republic Act No. 9512) **State of International Environment** Southeast Asia - issues of increased pollution, poor resource management, and species and habitat loss. Like many regions, Southeast Asia is currently experiencing increased urbanization Africa - with an increase in severe droughts, floods, and storms expected to threaten the health of populations and economies alike. Europe - Europe's Atlantic-facing countries will suffer heavier rainfalls, greater flood risk, more severe storm damage, and an increase in "multiple climatic hazards", according to the most comprehensive study of Europe's vulnerability to climate change yet. Antartica - Marine life on the Antarctic seabed is likely to be far more affected by global warming than previously thought, say scientists who have conducted the most sophisticated study to date of heating impacts in the species-rich environment. United States of America: - Northeast - Heat waves, heavy downpours, and sea level rise - Northwest - Changes in the timing of streamflow reduce water supplies for competing demands. - Southeast - Sea level rise poses widespread and continuing threats to the region's economy and environment. - Midwest - Extreme heat, heavy downpours and flooding. - Southwest - Increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Australia - faces potential "disastrous consequences" from climate change, including "revolving" natural disasters and the forced migration of tens of millions of people across the region, overwhelming security forces and government.
