Causes:
Dumping of untreated sewage, waste or litter into water bodies
Oil spills due to accidents in the sea

Effects:
Bacteria in sewage compete with aquatic animals for dissolved oxygen for respiration
Toxic waste and oil spills poison aquatic life
Oil on the plumage of birds reduces their ability to stay buoyant, fly and keep warm
Marine wildlife may mistake plastic for food and consume them, resulting in death
Marine wildlife may be entangled in trash, causing them to die due to the lack of food, suffocation or injuries

Health problems:
Outbreak of diseases such as cholera caused by bacteria in untreated sewage
Poisoning of humans or organisms across food chains due to the ingestion of toxic waste, such as oil and mercury, that could accumulate in aquatic organisms

Prevention methods:
Prevent rubbish and wastewater from getting into waterbodies
Reduce the use of fertilisers and chemical nutrients in farms located near water bodies

The rise in global temperatures causes polar ice caps to melt and oceans waters to gain more heat and expand more, causing sea levels to rise.

Resource depletion happens when the consumption of renewable or non-renewable resources becomes scarce, as they are consumed at a faster rate than they can be replenished. Two big examples are water and electricity. We humans take these natural resources for granted and think that there is an abundance of these resources.Thus, we might waste water and electricity.

# data[].attributes.body
If we humans do not realise this problem soon, we might soon run out of some natural resources like clean water. All living things on earth depend on water and if it were to run out, it might cause many organisms to die. Also, if we do not save electricity, we could run out of the energy sources we primarily rely on, such as fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.

Causes:
Burning of fuels in factories, power stations and motor vehicles
Clearing of forests through burning
Burning trash
Smoking

Effects:
Acidic gases dissolve in rainwater to form acid clouds which eventually fall to Earth as acid rain
Corrodes buildings and statues
Causes soil to become too acidic for plants to survive
Causes water to become too acidic for aquatic organisms to survive in

Health problems:
Excessive dust and smoke in the air damages lungs and irritates the human's eyes and may cause breathing difficulty
Toxic fumes from burning of plastics and cigarette smoke can cause cancer

Prevention methods:
Reduce factory emissions by installing scrubbers which remove harmful substances from smoke before it is released into the atmosphere
Reduce the number of vehicles on the roads through carpooling or encouraging the use of public transport
Increase the usage of electric vehicles

We as an individual can help use less resources by doing simple actions like switching off the lights and fans after use. We can also use rainwater to water our plants, turn off the tap while brushing our teeth and taking shorter showers.The government is also thinking of ways to diversify away from fossil fuels to cleaner and greener energies. The government is trying to change from petroleum cars to electric cars and has imposed that petroleum cars cannot be sold after 2030. The government is also buying hydro-electrical power from neighbouring countries like Laos and trying to build a massive solar farm in Australia.

Climate change has caused increased heat, drought, and insect outbreaks. In turn, these changes have made wildfires more numerous and severe. The warming climate has also caused a decline in water supplies, reduced agricultural yields and have triggered heat-related health impacts in cities.

Exposure to high levels of air pollution can cause a variety of adverse health outcomes. It increases the risk of respiratory infections, heart disease and lung cancer. Both short and long term exposure to air pollutants have been associated with health impacts. More severe impacts affect people who are already ill.

You are to work in your groups of 5 or 4 to gather more information about the environmental problem and possible ways to solve the problem.

Your group can present your information to the class using any of the following ways:
- PowerPoint slides
- Infographic poster
- Video/animation
- Role play a short skit
- Drawing e.g mindmap, concept cartoon, comic strip etc.

People cut down more trees for paper and other uses.
Deforestation leads to a huge loss of biodiversity and greenhouse effect.
We should not waste paper and use both sides of it. We also need to appreciate our animals and wildlife and their habitat's more as they may perish.

Problem: Due to factories, carbon dioxide is produced. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere,  causing global warming.☹️
Effects:  This causes Jerome to melt with every step.🫠
Actions: We can demolish the factories 🏭 and build greener alternatives such as solar panels and windmills to reduce our carbon footprint.
Conclusion: This prevents Jerome from melting.🙂
