A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

A definition

When we talk about our environment we mean everything in the world around us that surrounds and affects all life on earth, including the air, food chains, the water cycle, plants, animals and other humans.
What is environment?

We breathe oxygen from the air

We get water from the rain which fills our lakes, rivers and creeks and which we store in dams, reservoirs and water tanks.

We get food from the plants, animals, fish and birds.

We get shelter from the materials we take out of the earth and from plants that grow in the earth (trees) to make our homes.

We get warmth from the sun, fire, power (electricity, gas, oil) and our clothing.

how can we save our environment?

Basic needs

Because there are five basic needs of human beings from the environment and they are oxygen, water, food, shelter and warmth. We get these from the planet on which we live.
Why is environment important?
Polluting is killing

The impact of these pollutants on the environment has two main consequences:

- impact on the environment;

- impact on human health.

As regards damage to human health, air pollution involves high concentrations of agents that lead to increased respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, cardiovascular disease and the formation of malignant neoplasms (lung cancer and leukemia).

As for the damage to the environment we can list four main types of consequences:

The greenhouse effect is the increase in the earth's temperature caused by an excess of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This can also be connected to the global warming that can cause dramatic changes in climate and raise the level of the oceans caused by the melting of ice at the poles.
A synonym for dirty environment.
Pollution consists in the direct or indirect introduction into an environment of substances or even of energy capable of transforming the natural equilibriums, also producing effects on human health.

The main cause of pollution is plastic. In the Pacific Ocean there is "the plastic island", a collection of waste.

Another cause not to be underestimated is smog: the harmful gases from the exhaust of cars or industries can also cause death.

Pollution - causes

Land pollution

Air pollution

Water pollution

Land pollution is anything that damages or contaminates the land. There are many causes of land pollution: garbage, mining, farming, factories.

Land pollution

Air pollution is when unwanted chemicals, gasses, and particles enter the air and the atmosphere causing harm to animals and damaging the natural cycles of the Earth.

Air pollution

Water pollution is when waste, chemicals, or other particles cause a body of water to become harmful to the fish and animals that need the water to survive.

LAND POLLUTION
Land pollution is anything that damages or contaminates the land.

Causes of Land Pollution

There are many causes of land pollution:

garbage that ends up in a landfill or on the ground

mining that can also release toxic chemicals into the air and soil

factories that produce a significant amount of garbage and waste (some of this waste is in the form of damaging chemicals)

Effects on the Environment

This type of land pollution not only can hurt animals and their habitats but also is ugly and destroys the beauty of nature.

Some types of land pollution like mining, farming and factories can allow for harmful chemicals to enter into the soil and water.

Different kinds of land pollution have been known to have adverse effects on the health of animals and humans. The harmful chemicals that can get into the soil and water can cause cancers, deformities, and skin problems.

Landfills are areas where garbage is placed in the land. Some of the newest landfills even try to capture methane gas from escaping and use it to produce energy.

Trash that is made of organic substances will eventually decay and become a part of the environment. This type of trash is called biodegradable. Different types of materials take different amounts of time to . Paper can decompose in around a month, but it takes a plastic bag over 20 years to decompose.

What can you do to help?
Here are four things people can do to reduce land pollution:

1. Produce less trash

2. Pick up trash

3. Composting (composting is when you collect organic waste and store it so it breaks down to where it can be used for fertilizer)

WASTE= rifiuto LANDFILLS= discariche TRASH= spazzatura AIR POLLUTION What is air pollution?
Air pollution is when unwanted chemicals, gasses, and particles enter the air and the atmosphere causing harm to animals and damaging the natural cycles of the Earth.

Causes of Air Pollution

Air pollution is caused by humans, but by nature, too. One of the artificial causes is urban traffic: we use personal cars to move in the city while we could use public transport (trains, buses, bike...). Human air pollution is caused by things such as factories, power plants , cars, airplanes, chemicals, fumes from , and methane gas from .

Natural causes are eruptions of volcanoes, dust storms, and forest fires which release toxic gasses that go to ozone barrier.

Effects on the Environment
Air pollution and the release of gasses into the atmosphere can have many negative effects on the environment.

Global warming

The ozone layer (the ozone layer helps protect us from harmful rays from the sun)

Effects on Health
Air pollution can also make people sick. It can make it difficult to breathe and cause diseases such as lung cancer, respiratory infections, and heart disease. Air pollution can be especially dangerous to children living in big cities with bad smog.

Air Quality Index
The Air Quality Index is a way for the government to alert people to the quality of the air and how bad the air pollution is in an area or city. They use colors to help you determine if you should go outside.

Green - the air is good

Yellow - the air is moderate

Orange - the air is unhealthy for sensitive people like the elderly, children, and those with lung diseases

Red - Unhealthy

Purple - Very unhealthy

One of the simplest solutions is to use public transport more because it produces less polluting gases. We should reduce electricity waste and we should also prefer craft products .

CRAFT PRODUCTS=Prodotti artigianali

What is water pollution?

Water pollution is when , chemicals, or other particles cause a body of water (i.e. rivers, oceans, lakes) to become to the fish and animals that need the water to survive.

Causes of Water Pollution

The causes of water pollution are many.

A lot of water pollution comes from human activity. Some human causes include , pesticides and fertilizers from farms, waste water and chemicals from factories, and trash from people .

There are also natural causes of water pollution: volcanic eruptions, algae and animal waste.

Effects on the Environment

Water pollution can have disastrous effects on the environment.

Pollution in the water can reach a point where there isn't enough oxygen in the water for the fish to breathe. The fish can actually suffocate!

Sometimes pollution affects the entire food chain. Small fishes absorb pollutants, such as chemicals, into their bodies. Then bigger fishes eat the smaller fishes and get the pollutants too. Birds or other animals may eat the bigger fishes and be harmed by the pollutants.

Sewage can also cause major problems in rivers.

Water pollution from major events like acid rain or oil spills can completely destroy marine habitats.

Water pollution can lead to atrocious effects on our health. For over 1 billion people on the planet, clean water is almost impossible to obtain. Dirty and polluted water can make them sick and is particularly hard on young children.

Types of Water Pollutants

"We inhabitants of this planet are only spectators, who witness the disintegration of this world, but what can we do to save the planet from water pollution?"

1. We should take shorter showers and we shouldn't leave the tap open while brushing our teeth;

2. We shouldn't put grease into the kitchen drain;

3. We should always pick up our trash, especially when we are at the beach, lake, or river.

WASTE=rifiuto
LITTERING=disseminare rifiuti
WEED KILLER=erbicida
HOW CAN WE HELP?

Water is essential to life. Two thirds of our planet is covered by water. Clean water is very important for a healthy life. Water is precious. Help to save it and keep it clean! When you have a shower use less water. When you go to the toilet do not leave the water on while you wait for it to get hot.

Less rubbish

Renewable energy

How can we best deal with rubbish and help make the world a better place?

We can apply the 3Rs, reduce, re-use and recycle. 'Reduce' means producing less rubbish. ' Re-use' means using something again and giving things a second life. ' Recycle' means making something new out of old things.

Can you imagine your life without electricity? It would certainly be a darker, colder and duller life. NO light, NO television, NO computer, NO fridge, NO electric guitar, NO doorbell! It is very important to save electricity. But how can we do it? Well, in a variety of ways!

Pollution is killing our Earth. One of the most important things we can do to help the world is recycling. Recycling is a way to take trash and turn it into new products. All sorts of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common processes in use today involve recycling plastic, glass, metals, paper, electronics, and textiles.

Renewable energy is the energy that is collected from renewable resources, or those

resources that are naturally reintegrated into a human time scale, such as sunlight,

wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Much of the world relies on non-renewable energy to heat their homes, power their electronic devices and power their cars.

RECYCLING
Pollution is killing our Earth. One of the most important things we can do to help the world isrecycling.

Recycling is a way to take trash and turn it into new products.

All sorts of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common processes in use today involve recycling plastic, glass, metals, paper, electronics, and textiles.

How does recycling work?

Recycling is different for each type of material.

The process for aluminumis not so complicated: the cans are first and then dissolved. From there, aluminum can be used to make new cans and other aluminum objects.

Plastic bottles are first classified into various types of chemicals. Subsequently, they are crushed into small pieces of fine plastic. Then the chips can be fused to create new plastic.

Paper starts its recycling process by being mixed with water and other chemicals to break it down. It then gets shredded and up. This process eventually turns the paper into a or . The pulp gets in order to remove any glues or plastics. After that, it gets cleaned and to remove any left over inks or . Now the pulp is ready to be made into new paper.

Recycling has got a very famous symbol which we all know very well: the recycling loop, that has three arrows. Each arrow represents a different step in the recycling process. These steps are:

collection of recyclable materials,

1. processing of old materials and creation of new articles

2. purchase of items made from recycled materials.

There are lots of benefits from recycling:

landfills because recycling materials means less trash,

resources because when we use materials again, this means we can take fewer resources from the Earth

pollution because recycling materials produces less pollution.

We must be sure that we recycle everything we can at home and at school. We must be sure that we leave our used aluminum cans and plastic bottles in a dustbin . At home, we must be sure that we put paper items like newspapers, cereal boxes and homework pages into the recycle bin.
CANS=lattine
ELECTRONIC BOARD=schede elettriche
DUSTBIN=pattumiera
Renewable energy is the energy that is collected from renewable resources, or those resources that are naturally reintegrated into a human time scale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.

Many renewable energy sources are even better for the environment than for burning fossil fuels. They produce less pollution which will help protect the environment and provide us with cleaner air and water.

The most widespread clean energy is hydroelectric energy, which satisfies about 4% of the world's energy needs. Widespread in a large part of the planet, hydroelectric plants are essentially of two types:

Flowing water systems take advantage of the natural motion of rivers and streams, while storage systems rely on the construction of large basins from which to draw on as required.

The sun is the first energy source that we learn to know. In addition to heating and determining the life cycle on Earth, solar energy can be converted into electricity through solar panels. There are different types of solar panels:

Photovoltaic panels are devices composed of cells that transform solar radiation into electrical energy by exploiting the photovoltaic effect, without the use of any fuel. They are used as power generators of the . They are able to produce even greater amounts of energy for the usual needs of a normal family and the prices of photovoltaic panels are constantly decreasing . If we could all exploit these tools, we should no longer rely on the use of fossil fuels, a non-renewable source that damages the environment. Unlike photovoltaic panels, solar thermal panels only serve to produce hot water, but also to heat or cool the environment.

Among the renewable energies, that produced by the wind was among the first ever to be exploited by man. Think of the blades of the mills , capable of transforming the wind into mechanical energy capable of moving heavy machinery. As we understand it today, however, this type of energy produces mainly electricity, thanks to the insertion of the wind turbine. To function at its best, in addition to the quality of the system itself, it must be made in particularly windy areas.

Geothermal energy and biomass

Geothermal energy and that from biomass are developing a lot in recent years. Geothermal energy is derived from the heat of the Earth that heats the water present in the subsoil and lets it escape in the form of . In this way the plants can take advantage of the high temperatures generated to produce energy. In the second case, we talk about energy produced with organic substances through combustion processes. This is the case, for example, of food used to obtain thermal energy.

Renewable energy is the energy that is collected from renewable resources, or those

resources that are naturally reintegrated into a human time scale, such as sunlight,

wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat.

Have showers rather than baths. Short showers use less water and also there is less use of energy to heat the water. Have 3 minute showers by wetting yourself, switching off the water while you soap all over and shampoo your hair, then turn the water back on and rinse under the shower, and then turn it off.

Clean your teeth by putting water into a glass. Use the water for wetting your toothbrush, rinsing your mouth and cleaning your brush.

Help your family save water by using a watering can to water plants and vegetables in the garden rather than using a hose.

Use a bucket of water to wash your bike, or the dog.

Help your school save water by switching off taps properly and using the water fountain for drinking water.

SOME USEFUL TIPS

Things to do so you won't need to run the air-conditioner:

Keep doors and curtains or blinds closed in summer during the day to keep out the heat.

Open doors and windows on summer evenings to let cooler air into the house.

During winter open curtains and blinds during the day to let in any sunshine, then close them in the evening to keep in the heat.

Don't switch on lights during the day.

Switch off the computer, TV or radio if you are not using it.

Use the new light bulbs. 15 watts in a new bulb is equal to 75 watts in an old one. They last longer too.

Switch lights off when you leave a room.

Walk or use your bike whenever it is safe to do so.

SOME USEFUL TIPS

Help make a compost heap or start a worm farm to use up food scraps.

Sort out the garbage into what can be recycled and what can't. Use the recycle bin.

Save computer paper by printing on both sides.

What can be recycled?
All sorts of materials can be recycled. Some of the most common processes in use today involve recycling plastic, glass, metals, paper, electronics, and textiles. Typical used items made of these materials include soda cans, plastic milk cartons, newspapers, old computers, and cardboard boxes.

The Recycling Loop
The recycling symbol, or loop, has three arrows. Each arrow represents a different step in the recycling process. These steps are:

1. Collecting recyclable materials, like aluminum cans and plastic bottles.

2. Processing the old materials and making new items.

3. Buying items made from recycled materials

What can you do?
Be sure to recycle everything you can in your house and school. There is almost always a "recycle" trash can around. Be sure to drop your used aluminum cans and plastic bottles there. At home, be sure to put paper items like the newspaper, cereal boxes, and homework pages into the recycle bin.

Why is renewable energy important?

Much of the world relies on non-renewable energy to heat their homes, power their electronic devices, and power their cars. Once these energy sources are used up, they will be gone forever. Developing technologies that can efficiently use renewable energy sources is critical to our future.

Major Types of Renewable Energy

Wind Power - the power of the wind.

Solar Energy - the rays from the sun.

Hydropower - water from a dam or a river.

Wave and Tidal Power - the vast power of the ocean's waves and tides.

Geothermal Energy - heat from inside the Earth.

Biomass Energy - burning plants such as trees as well as creating fuel from plants.

Sustainability looks at ways of making sure that these resources last a very long time or even forever. The United Nations, a group of people representing all the countries around the world says that sustainability means "meeting the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." In other words, "we shouldn't use up everything today that people of tomorrow will also need."

sustainability?
What is
The resources we use today are important to many areas of our lives. These will also be important to people living 10, 50 or 100 years in the future. The problem is, they might run out by then.

Ancient civilizations were built on using raw materials such as rock, water, oil and gas. But as time has gone on, some of these raw materials have become rarer or harder to find. These are not sustainable. However, we are slowly replacing some of these older raw materials with some that can easily be replaced or will never run out.
