There are many important reasons to conserve and manage soil

One of the main reasons is that without soil, a lot of the living organisms in this world could not exist

Soil provides water and nutrients for plants to absorb so they don't die.

# data[].attributes.body
One way to conserve soil is terracing. Terracing, helps reduce erosion, which is when water, wind, and ice move soil particles making it harder for plants to grow.

Another way farmers conserve soil is by using fertilizers when the soil becomes depleted.

Land reclamation is also a way to conserve soil. It replace the land that was damaged by erosion or mining.

Burning: The burning of solid waste is called incineration which also creates pollution (reduce volume of waste by 90%.)The heat produced by burning waste is used to produce electricity.

Burying: Now most solid waste is buried in landfills that hold wastes safely. A sanitary landfill holds municipal solid waste (also pollutes groundwater) . Once full it is covered with a clay cap to prevent rainwater from dissolving harmful chemicals.

Recycling: Reduce, Reuse, and recycle.  Recycling is the process of reinstalling raw materials and reusing them to produce new products.

# data[].attributes.body
Burning: Pros are that it reduces waste by 90% and does not take a lot of time. But the cons are that it takes a lot of energy and causes air pollution.

Burying: Holds wastes safely, and then can be used for building. The cons are that many materials are wasted.

Recycling: Pros it saves earth, and helps reduce pollution. The cons are that it is expensive and takes a long time.

Metal can be recycled into things such as cars, cans, bicycles, jewellry, office supplies and house siding.

Glass can be recycled into bottles, floor tiles, counter tops, jewellry and jars.

Paper can be recycled toilet paper, notebook paper, paper cups, paper napkins, and envelopes

Plastic can be recycled into picnic tables, park benches, speed bumps, recycling bins, playground equipment, deck lumber, and fleece.

Motor Vehicles such as cars and trucks are sources of smog, which is a type of air pollution.

Carbon Monoxide. It can be deadly if it builds up in an enclosed space

Radon is a source of air pollution. It is a colourless, odorless gas that is radioactive.

How Does Air Pollution damage the Ozone Layer?

# data[].attributes.body
The ozone layer protects us from ultraviolet radiation

A group of gasses called CFC's are human made gases that contain chlorine and fluorine

They create a hole in the ozone layer.

This reduces the amount of ozone.

Controlling Emissions from factories reduces Air Pollution.

Controlling Emissions from Vehicles reduces Air Pollution.

Another thing that can reduce Air pollution is reducing certain types of energy use. This could mean turning off lights, computers, and televisions when no one is using them.

Recycling is the process of reclaiming raw materials and reusing them to create new products

Recycling is good because it conserves resources, meaning we can keep using the same thing again and again instead of using more materials.

How Does Ocean Pollution Affect Organisms 

# data[].attributes.body
The dead zone is an area that lacks oxygen for organisms to live.

Pollutants also build up in the animals bodies and kill a large population of organisms.

The trash can also affect animals physically, trap them, or injure them.

Oil pollution destroys natural insulation of animals. It affects their ability to float and it harms the animals if they swallow it.

# data[].attributes.body
Some ocean pollution is caused by natural occurrences, but most is related to human activities.

Sewage, chemicals and trash end up in the ocean creating a dead zone.

Oil: Gasoline and diesel powers vehicles, Oil is used to heat homes, and used to , make plastics and petroleum products.

Coal: Used to generate most electricity. Used to make products (fertilizer and medicine.) Also used to make steel.

Natural gas: Used for fuel for cars and buses and to cook food

Pros and Cons of Renewable energy sources

# data[].attributes.body
Solar Energy - a good thing about Solar Energy is that it does not cause pollution, however it is only available when the sun is shining.

Hydroelectric Power - a good thing about Hydroelectric Power is that it makes generating electricity inexpensive, however it stops some fish from breeding

Capturing the Wind -  a good thing about Capturing the Wind is that they generate a large amounts of power, however they are expensive to build and do not work when there's no wind

Nuclear Power - a good thing about Nuclear Power is that it doesn't pollute however it can cause explosions

Biomass fuels- a good thing about Biomass fuels are that they can be converted into other fuels however they are made from living organisms such as trees and it takes a long time for new trees to replace the ones that were cut down

Turn off taps: Turn off taps while completing tasks to save water.

Turn off lights: to save electricity.

Try to use public transportation: to save oil and reduce energy use. Also reduces pollution.

Close window when air conditioner is on: To not waste energy. And to trap cold air.

Put insulation around your house: To trap heat.

Turn off technology when you're not using it: to save electricity.

Use a renewable source of energy instead of using fossil fuels: To save fossil fuels for more important uses and to live a healthier lifestyle.

In the past 50 years, average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate.

Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide and air pollutants collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that has bounced off the earth’s surface.

Usually the radiation bounces of earths surface but the pollution traps heat in, also know as the green house effect, leading to global warming.

Melting of glaciers, causing water to rise and drown cities.

Melting of ice also damages wildlife

Growing crops is harder because of heat

Increase in flooding

Disruption of Marine habitats and coral reefs

Infectious disease outbreaks due to air pollution

Birth and Death rates: The global population grows because there are more people born each year than there are dying.

Medical care and technology: Antibiotics, vaccines, sanitation, and improved nutrition have lowered death rates and increased birthrates. New technologies have allowed people to build cities, maintain clean water supplies, and produce and distribute more food.

The demand for natural resources grows as the population increases.

If this continues, humans will be using natural resources twice as fast as Earth can replace them within this century.
