How We Damage Our Environment

key notes :

Pollution

• Air Pollution: Burning fuels in vehicles and factories releases harmful gases.

• Water Pollution: Throwing waste and chemicals into rivers and oceans harms water life.

• Land Pollution: Dumping garbage and non-biodegradable materials like plastic on the ground pollutes the land.

Deforestation

• Cutting down too many trees for buildings, paper, or farming destroys forests and habitats for animals.

Wasting Resources

• Using too much water, electricity, or other natural resources without care leads to depletion.

Overuse of Plastics

• Plastics take a long time to decompose and harm animals that mistakenly eat them.

Harming Wildlife

• Destroying animal habitats or hunting animals disrupts the balance of nature.

Burning Fossil Fuels

• Using coal, oil, and gas for energy contributes to global warming and climate change.

Overfishing and Hunting

• Catching too many fish or hunting animals leads to a reduction in their populations.

Littering

• Throwing garbage in public places makes the environment dirty and unhealthy.

Climate Change

• Human activities like deforestation and pollution increase greenhouse gases, causing global warming.

Soil Erosion

• Removing vegetation or farming carelessly causes the top layer of soil to wash away, making the land less fertile.

Let’s practice!
