• The Environment is the world around us
• It is where we live, where we go to school and work
• It everything we see and everything we touch
• We only have one earth and we all have to share it
• If we want to live in a clean and beautiful world then we have to take care of it
• To protect our resources
• For future generations
• Population growth leads to industrialisation
• Burning of fossil fuels
• Non-renewable resources
• Pollution
• Increased CO² levels
• The burning of fossil fuels releases sulphates and nitrates into the air
• Sulphates and nitrates mix with the water vapour in the air and form sulphuric and nitric acid which falls as acid rain
• Population growth leads to deforestation
• People cut down trees to build homes
• This leads to the loss of natural habitat.
• Leads to a loss of Oxygen producers and Carbon Dioxide eliminators
• Humans have a major impact on the rate of global warming
• The burning of fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) produces greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour)
• These greenhouse gases trap the heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, increasing the temperature of the earth
