Population Growth is a huge issue, it puts a huge strain on the worlds water, energy, wilderness, and over all infrastructure.

# data[].attributes.body
Population growth causes a lot of issues around environments. It takes huge amount of our power sources and resources.

# data[].attributes.body
i learned specific types of pollution. Water, air, noise, soil, and radioactive pollution.

# data[].attributes.body
pollution in general. Don´t litter and recycle as much as possible. I personally find this as an everyday objective

# data[].attributes.body
i cant remember if we ever talked about this but it puts a scare to me that were losing a much needed resource for our living capabilities

# data[].attributes.body
Population growth leads for more growth on infrastructure, therefore deforestation becomes even more of a bigger issue. Deforestation leads to the lost of habitat for many species, deforestation also produces 15% of the worlds green house gas emissions.

# data[].attributes.body
Population growth is the increase in the number of individuals in a population. Global human population growth amounts to around 83 million annually.

# data[].attributes.body
climate change is also known as global warming. Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth´s climate system.

# data[].attributes.body
do not litter and recycle as much as you possibly can. Pick up your trash and don´t just throw it on the ground

# data[].attributes.body
The increase of the number of people in the world. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.7 billion in 2020.

# data[].attributes.body
Ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate. Makes the atmosphere more hotter.

# data[].attributes.body
We can stop using non renewable energy like coal and natural gas, and revert to renewable energy, as a healthier solution for the environment. CO2 emissions are going into the atmosphere daily due to factories. We need to shut down these major non renewable resource factories and implement more renewable resource factories.

# data[].attributes.body
Many animals such as Polar Bears lose their habitats due to global warming, deforestation, etc. And in result, these animals have no where else to live.

# data[].attributes.body
As we know many cars, trucks, and buses release tons of C02 emissions. Maybe, if possible people could start to either carpool, which eliminates the need for more cars on the road. Or we can either use bikes and even in some rare circumstances walk to work/school. Nowadays hybrids and electric cars could be a nice option too.

Air pollution  causes most short term measurable Damge to  the  water air as dust as a resuit is gravity or when rain rinses  these chemicals to the ocean and water way which leand to the ocean  commonly referred to as acid rain the resuit is  Carbnie acid H2o3 or acid rain

# data[].attributes.body
population growth. The more people there are the more resources will be used ex. water, energy, trees. Also an increasing population will lead to less available space.

# data[].attributes.body
pollution. causing a rise in global temperatures and hard to control in today's world. I learned new types of pollution like noise and light.

# data[].attributes.body
Pollution. I do my best not to liter or pick certain things off the ground. I could start taking shorter showers and use reusable bottles instead of plastic, same goes with shopping bags.

# data[].attributes.body
Habitat destruction. with the increase population growth more and more forests are being destroyed, on top of increasing temperatures melting the poles.

# data[].attributes.body
Fracking is one of the many environmental issues that I learned about for the first time this year. It is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well.

# data[].attributes.body
Air  pollution causes short term measurable damage to the water  quality when  xic chemicals  fall from  the  air as dust as  a resuites of  gravity  or when rain rineses these  chemicals  to the ocean and commonly referred to as acid  rain the resuites  is carbonic  acid (H2c03 ) or  acid rain.

# data[].attributes.body
Pollution is probably the environmental issue that is easiest to do something about. Many people including myself have started to use reusable or paper straws, and reusable water bottles. You can also help by cleaning trash off of the beaches, recycling more, and even being aware of how much carbon dioxide you release.

# data[].attributes.body
One topic I wish we had time to talk about is overpopulation. There are roughly 7 billion people on this planet right now, and by 2050 (which is only 30 years from now) there is estimated to be 9.7 billion, even though this planet can only support 10 billion people, roughly. As the world’s population rises, the amount of resources available for survival decreases. Also, the more people there are on the planet, the more they release carbon dioxide and other gasses into the air. The growing population comes with the cost of greenhouse gasses and climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
I could drive less and recycle plastic bottles, glass, etc. I could also influence the younger generation to do the same so the chain of protecting the Earth keeps going on.

# data[].attributes.body
I knew this was a problem because it was destroying habitats for many animals. However, I learned more about it this year. For example, I didn't know that it produces about 15% of the greenhouse gases.

# data[].attributes.body
I've never heard of this before this year, but I learned that it is very useful, but the risk of it is very dangerous. Although the process of fracking can create a large amount of money, but the risk to the people's health is too high.

# data[].attributes.body
I've learned about this topic before but it interest me a lot and I would love to learn more about it. I know that the more people that are on Earth, the more resources are used and more pollution is let up into the atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
Water pollution is a topic I thought I already understood, but learned more about throughout the year. Water is effected by everything (Air pollution, climate change, etc.) and yet is something so sacred to Earth. We need to take better care of not only our oceans, but our planet as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
Fracking is an environmental issue I learned about for the first time this school year. Fracking uses fluids pumped at high pressure to pulverize rock and release the oil and gas trapped deep underground. Fracking lowers energy prices but it can cause environmental problems such as water/air pollution and increased potential for oil spills and earthquakes.

# data[].attributes.body
One environmental issue that I learned for the first time this year was the bumblebee extinction. Climate change has been killing these bees and hastening the loss of global biodiversity.

# data[].attributes.body
One environmental issue that I thought I understood but learned more about through the school year was the concept of fracking. Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks, boreholes, etc. so as to force open existing fissures and extract oil or gas.

# data[].attributes.body
Groundwater Contamination. What I learned more about this topic this school year was that chemicals from storage tanks can seep right into the groundwater, and can affect the drinking water of nearby properties using it. Also, there is no national policy for governing sources of contamination.

# data[].attributes.body
One environmental issue that I know I could do something to help the problem is pollution. Pollution is the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects. To help reduce it, I would drive my car less and I avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.

# data[].attributes.body
One environmental issue that I wish we got to speak more about was global warming. I would like to learn ways to reduce it.

# data[].attributes.body
Pollution. Instead of using plastic goods I can use reusable ones. Instead of drinking from plastic water bottles and straws, I will drink from a reusable water bottle or use a metal straw. Also don´t litter and make sure to recycle materials such as plastic, paper, cardboard, etc instead of throwing them out.

# data[].attributes.body
Light and Noise Pollution. Noise causes temporary disruption when there is an excessive amount of unpleasant noise. Construction activities, industrialization, an increase in vehicular traffic, lack of urban planning are a few of the causes of noise pollution. Light pollution occurs from presence of artificial light in the night environment.

I wish we talked about nuclear meltdowns more in class. Like the disaster in Chernobyl.

# data[].attributes.body
I had never heard of fracking before this year and it was very interesting to learn about hot we do this to the earth and how damaging it is to the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought I understood that the population was growing and it wasn't necessarily helping the planet but I came to realize that the more people born the more damage is done to the earth. We use more water and many more resources to sustain life on earth with so many people.

# data[].attributes.body
Just in general. We can all help stop making so much pollution by stop using cars so much and start recycling etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I wish we spent more time focusing on deforestation so that I could understand it. Animals die because of this causing endangerment and extinction.

# data[].attributes.body
Deforestation is when forests are destroyed by cutting trees (logging) and not replanting them. The most common reason is to clear the land to make farms and ranches. ... The loss is more severe in so called primary forests, which are forests that have yet been untouched by humans.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe I can help with pollution in many ways. I could try and clean up any trash I see outside. Stop littering and try to recycle more. And use less plastic.

# data[].attributes.body
Water pollution is the pollution of bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, seas, the oceans, as well as groundwater. It occurs when pollutants reach these bodies of water, without treatment. Waste from homes, factories and other buildings get into the water bodies and as a result water gets contaminated .

# data[].attributes.body
one issue i already understood was climate change. one example is global warming  and its the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and has been demonstrated by direct temperature measurements and by measurements of various effects of the warming.

# data[].attributes.body
pollution is something i had help with.  some ways i can help is, reduce the number of trips you take in your car, reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use, avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials and avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.

# data[].attributes.body
a little more about habitat loss. Due to destruction or fragmentation,  the primary threat to the survival of wildlife in the United States is decreasing. to help we can plant native plants and put out a water source so that you can provide the food, water, cover, and places to raise young that wildlife need to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
The "population growth rate" is the rate at which the number of individuals in a population increases in a given time period, expressed as a fraction of the initial population.

# data[].attributes.body
One environmental issue that I have never new about was bees going extinct. If all the bees went extinct it would destroy the balance of the Earth's ecosystem and affect global food supplies as well as many other things.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I understood already but became more familiar with the topic thanks to this class was fracking.Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into subterranean rocks.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I think I can help with is pollution. This is because this is something I can control. For instance, Instead of throwing away plastics in a regular garbage bin i can instead throw it away into the recycling bin. Lastly another way in which I can help is by picking up trash I see on the ground.

# data[].attributes.body
Habitat Destruction is one topic that I wish we could have discussed more in class. This is because it is very important. If we Destroy a habitat that can also put the lives of those animals living in those habitats at risk.

I knew Global warming was a real issue but not how much of an issue it was until i learned more about it this year. As the years go on, global warming is becoming more and more of a problem that we can barely get a hold of to prevent issues such as the melting of the ice caps, and earths climate rising.

I wish we had time to talk about water pollution because I don't remember going over it this year. I find it interesting to learn about. Water has been polluted for years by lots of waste thrown into the water by people. It can affect and kill sea life like fish and whales. Many lakes like Lake Erie have been heavily polluted. We probably didn't have time to talk about it because of actual school ending early due to the Pandemic.

# data[].attributes.body
water pollution is one environmental issue ive learned about this year. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities.

I think I can help with pollution.  Ways you can help are to

1. Reduce the number of trips you take in your car.

2. Reduce or eliminate fireplace and wood stove use.

3. Avoid burning leaves, trash, and other materials.

4. Avoid using gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.

Even though some of these things are small task in the long run they can defintly help lower pollution rates

Pollution

I'm choosing pollution because pollution is everywhere you go. For example outside and even in the air we breathe. I could help reduce pollution by organizing a clean up crew and we clean the sides of the roads. Also in the future i'm going to get an electric car like a tesla so that will help prevent more pollution in the air.

I wish we had time to talk about the environmental issue of overfishing. Overfishing is closely tied to bycatch. Bycatch is the capture of unwanted sea life while fishing for a different species. This, too, is a serious marine threat that causes the needless loss of billions of fish, along with hundreds of thousands of sea turtles and cetaceans.
