INTRODUCTION
o In this chapter we will learn about those things that are around us in the forms of environment and our lives depend on the flora and fauna around us .
TOPICS
WE WILL COVER 10 TOPICS IN THIS PRESENTATION
1. What are Green Skills ? 2. Society and Environment 3. Natural Resources 4. Human Activities Damaging the Environment 5. Factors Responsible for Polluting the Environment 6. Climate Change 7. Natural Disasters 8. How to save the Environment 9. What Can You do to Save Environment? 10. Conserving Natural Resources What are Green Skills? Green skills are those skills needed to adapt processes, services, and products to climate change and the environmental regulations and requirements related to it. They include the knowledge, abilities, values, and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource- efficient society. Society and Environment A clean environment is essential for the peaceful and healthy survival of humans. Human activities negatively affect the environment. It includes pollution, global warming, extinction of species, etc. Natural resources
Air : Air is a natural resource that we all need to breathe and survive.
Water : Water covers about three quarters of Earth's surface and is a necessary element for life. It necessary drinking, bathing, cooking, and growing plants.
Soil : Soil is the top layer of the Earth's surface where plants grow. It is a valuable natural resource for agriculture and supports the growth of crops and trees.
Minerals : Minerals are natural resources that are found underground. They are used to make various products, such as metals like iron and copper for building materials.
Forests : Forests are areas with a large number of trees. They are natural resources that provide us with many benefits. Forests produce oxygen, clean the air, provide habitat for animals, and help regulate the climate. We also use wood from forests for building houses and making furniture.
Energy : An energy resource is something that can produce heat, power life, move objects, or produce electricity. Human Activities Damaging the Environment Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water. Factors that are responsible for polluting the Environment
Industrial Activities : Industrial
Agricultural Practices: Certain Improper Waste Disposal : activities, such as factories Agricultural practices can When waste is not properly and power plants, can release contribute to environmental disposed of, it can end up pollutants into the air, water, pollution. polluting the environment. and soil.
Improper Sewage and
Construction and Transportation Emissions: wastewater Treatment : When infrastructure : Construction Vehicles, such as cars, trucks, sewage and wastewater from activities can generate and buses, release pollutants homes, businesses, and pollutants such as dust, into the air through their industries are not treated debris, and noise. That can exhausts. properly, they can pollute the environment. contaminate water bodies. Climate change
Causes of climate change
1. Greenhouse Gases: Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels ( Like coal, oil , and gas) for energy, release greenhouses3 gases into the atmosphere. These are not good for our climate
2. Deforestation: when forests are cut down, it reduces the number of trees that absorb carbon dioxide from atmosphere. This can lead to an increase in greenhouse gases and contribute to climate change. Climate change
What are the effects of climate change?
1. Rising Temperatures : As the planed warms, temperatures increase. This can lead to head waves, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels.
2. Extreme Weather: Climate change can cause more frequent and intense weather events such as hurricane, droughts, floods, and storms.
3. Impact on Ecosystems : Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns can disrupt
ecosystems and impact plants, animals, and their habitats. Natural disasters
Natural disasters : A Natural disaster is
an unforeseen occurrence of an event that causes harm to society. There are many Natural disasters that damage the environment and the people living in it. Some of them are earthquakes, cyclones, floods, Tsunami, landslides, volcanic eruption, and avalanches. How to save the Environment
To save our environment, we
need to educate people. Education is important, as it gives people knowledge and skills that they need to perform. Educating people about the environment, through the environment and for the environment will enlighten them in utilising their knowledge and skills for saving the environment as responsible citizens. What Can You do to Save Environment? Conserve water: Never waste even a drop of water. No water, no life. No blue, no green. Hold your grip and stop that drip. Save energy : We must replace all our old appliances as they consume a lot of electricity. In other words, we must strive to make our homes energy efficient. Conserving Natural Resources
It is our duty to conserve them for the future. Conservation of biodiversity is the most essential for the upcoming generations. It is important to conserve natural resources to maintain the ecosystem and sustainability of these resources for our future generation.
