1] As the factories continue to give out more greenhouse gas,the greenhouse gas in the air would trap more heat,hence increasing the global temperature.
2]Due to the increase of global temperature,ice on earth will gain heat from the environment and melt into water droplets,hence sea level will rise,flooding many habitats of the wild animals ,therefore the wild animals will lose their homes,some will even die and may extinc.
3]We could help by using energy saving appliances , switching off the electrical appliances when not in use and walk or cycle instead of taking public transport.

BANGKOK (AFP) - A whale has died in southern Thailand after swallowing more than 80 plastic bags, officials said, ending an attempted rescue that failed to nurse the mammal back to health.

Thailand is one of the world's largest consumers of plastic bags, which kill hundreds of marine creatures living near the country's popular beaches each year.

The small male pilot whale became the latest victim after it was found barely alive in a canal near the border with Malaysia, the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources said on their Facebook page Saturday.

A veterinary team tried "to help stabilise its illness but finally the whale died" on Friday afternoon, the post said.

An autopsy revealed 80 plastic bags weighing up to eight kilograms (18 pounds) in the creature's stomach, the department added.

Photos accompanying the post showed a group of people using buoys to keep the whale afloat after it was first spotted on Monday and an umbrella to shield it from the scorching sun.

The whale vomited up five bags during the rescue attempt before it died, the department said.

Thon Thamrongnawasawat, a marine biologist and lecturer at Kasetsart University, said the bags had made it impossible for the whale to eat any nutritional food.

"If you have 80 plastic bags in your stomach, you die," he said.

At least 300 marine animals including pilot whales, sea turtles and dolphins perish each year in Thai waters after ingesting plastic, Thon told AFP.

"It's a huge problem," he said. "We use a lot of plastic." The pilot whale's plight generated sympathy and anger among Thai netizens.

"I feel sorry for the animal that didn't do anything wrong but has to bear the brunt of human actions," one Twitter user wrote in Thai.

1)The greenhouse gas in the air would increase and more gas would trap heat, increasing the global temperature due to excessive human activity. Therefore, the temperature would affect climate changes and other factors, resulting in extinction of some species of animals if they are not able to cope and adapt with the new environment in time.
2)They would lose their home and habitat as humans will cut down their homes and will increase the global temperature so that harsh climate changes will make it hard for animals to survive
3)They can use lesser electricity and fossil fuels when they can and instead of driving cars, they can take public transport and they can change their bulbs to LED. Also, switch off electrical appliances when not in use and use lesser paper

1)There will be more greenhouse gas been given out and more heat will be trap,hence the temperature of the earth rises.
2)The living things over there will be harder to survive as some of their homes or habitat is cut down  and there will be a rise in global warming.
3)Man could help to reduce global warming by switching off electrical appliances when you are not using,using less fuel by driving fewer miles each day or week.these could help to reduce global warming.

1) Since industrial revolution started factories, power plants and vehicles consume energy by burning fossil fuels. By burning fossil fuels, more greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide will be released into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trapping heat near the Earth surface, which is a process called the greenhouse effect. This process begin with the Sun, where some of the heat energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and earth and the rest of the heat energy is radiated back into space. Th e greenhouse gases trap some of this heat energy radiated by the Sun, reflecting back to Earth, warming the earth and causing a rise in the temperature. Global warming is being intensified with more greenhouse gases.
2) Aratic sea land is shrinking, rising sea level which will flood parts of the world, weather patterns will change, causing more frequent hurricanes and severe droughts becoming more common in hotter areas. These will cause species not able to adapt to the changes in conditions and may become extinct.
3) We should use energy saving light bulb and we should use a fan instead of air conditioner. Switch off all lights and all electrical appliances when not in use. Take public transport instead of driving a car.

1]There will be more greenhouse gas such as carbon dioxide which will cause more heat to be trapped and cause the Earth to become much warmer. Plants can no longer hold the roots together and would cause soil erosion to take place. The soil will get washed off by the rain to the rivers nearby causing pollution.
2]Organisms living there would lose their homes and they would be exposed to the predators there and might die.
3]Man can carry out reforestation as this an help to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas and global warming

1) Factories, power plants and vehicles give out greenhouse gas,carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide by burning fossil fuels.By burning natural gases or oil releases more greenhouse gas to the atmosphere.The greenhouse gases traps heat around the earth surface which is called greenhouse effect.It begins with the Sun,some of the Sun's heat is absorbed by the atmosphere than the energy is radiated back to space, which cause a temperature rise in earth.
2)Weather patterns change, making hurricanes more frequent. Severe droughts could be more common in warm areas and the polar region ice berks are melting causing a rise of sea level causing more floods in countries . Species were unable to adapt to the changing condition would than face extinction.
3) We could use energy saving bulbs, take the public transport to travel long distances, we can also set the air conditioner to a 25 degree temperature or use a fan instead.Switch off appliances when not in use.

If man continues to carry out activities shown in the video for example water pollution animals would die because they would think that some of the waste we throw into the water like plastic bags are food for them like when the pilot whale ate 8kg worth of bags and died
2. Living things that are living in the water would decrease in population and slowly become extinct this would be bad as we would not have marine life to be in the seas
3.As living things what we could do to reduce the negative impact on our environment is we could stop using plastic bags and use an alternative like shopping bags when we go shopping or buy groceries we could also practise the 3 rs reuse reduce recycle

1. There are many different types of pollution; land, water and air pollution. These pollutions are caused by different types of man activities and are all related to one another. Example; Land and water pollution is caused by man littering and throwing rubbish in improper places. This results to more rubbish burnt and more greenhouse gasses released to the air. This will not only affect the well being of living things but will also result in global warming which is harmful towards the earth.
2. Pollution affects living things in many ways. Not only to us humans but also to plants and animals. Such as when water is polluted, animals may mistake the rubbish in the waters as food and swallow them. As a result, animals will die and cause less food for us humans and extinct. Whereas when the air is polluted, plants will be affected as they need clear air in order to photosynthesise. Plants are also known as the producers in the food chain and thus would affect humans and animals massively if they are not able to grow and provide animals and humans for food. With more pollution occurring, the earth would turn from a clean and healthy place to a place filled with rubbish and become a unhygienic place to live in. The organisms living in the polluted habitats which either have to migrate to another habitat with the same or similar conditions as the first one if not they will perish. As they could not receive proper minerals that are important to survive.
3. Based on all the negative impacts stated above, man can prevent all these from happening by; throwing less waste into the water or land which will surely improve earth's condition. Everyone has to play a part in order to prevent pollution from occurring. Besides throwing less waste into the surroundings, man should also prevent small little actions which causes pollution such as, smoking. Although smoking is an extremely small action many think is not harmful, but as people smoke, harmful gasses are released into the air. Not only that, but when people smoke, they will also affect the people around them who inhale the air they had just exhaled. When this is passed on to the second, third and more people, the polluted air may harm their lungs and cause diseases to hit them as time passes. Therefore to prevent pollution, man should stop all harmful actions regardless how minor they think it is.

1) Air pollution causes a higher risk of respiratory diseases. Land pollution leads to deterioration of land and takes up space that may be use to build buildings and grow crops. Plastic pollution causes release of poisonous chemicals.

2) Humans and animals may breathe in the air that has been contaminated with poisonous chemicals causing respiratory diseases. Animals living in the ocean may think plastics are food for them and eat it causing them to choke.

3) We could decrease the usage of plastics and not litter in the ocean. We can also conserve energy.

1) The burning of fossil fuels and the release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are causing the earth to rise in temperature and become warmer.The toxic chemicals released in the air settles into the plants and water sources.
2) The animals living in the pond will die as there is chemicals in the water and there would be more carbon dioxide released in the air which can be harmful to humans .
3) Dispose of any rubbish responsibly - it can be hazardous to wildlife. Use public transport, cycle or walk instead of using a car. Use facilities and trips run by local people whenever possible.

1]The factories produce greenhouse gases into the air and this track heat from the sun into the earth and the atmosphere absorbs the energy while the rest are radiated back to space then naturally occurring gases traps the energy sends it back into the earth warming it so the earth will get hotter.As the earth get hotter more of the polar caps will melt causing the sea levels to rise causing some countries to sink under water
2]The living things living there will drown under water as the living things there cannot breathe in atmospheric oxygen under the water.
3]Man can build less factories to reduce greenhouse gases release into the air so less greenhouse effect is produced by greenhouse gas.

# data[].attributes.body
1.If human continue to give out more greenhouse gases,the carbon dioxide which is contain in the greenhouse gas will trap more heat which cause the temperature of the surrounding to increase.It will also result people to get lungs disease at a higher rate

2.The organisms which lives in the polluted area will take in more carbon dioxide than oxygen which causes the some organisms to compete of oxygen or some will even die.For example:if there is pollution in the pond community,the plants in the pond will take in dirty water and photosynthesis and produce dirty food which some animal like fishes will feed on the leaves and eat the dirty substances into their body and worsemsoje will die.

3.People should pick up litter and should not throw rubbish around.Some people even disobey the rules such as buy chewing gum which cannot be swallow so people will spit it at nowhere.As it is also made out of rubber,it couldn’t be burn just like the plastics.As there is also car that uses electric to work,people could buy that car as it uses electric and not fuel and coal

1] If deforestation is being carried out , there will be more carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere and more oxygen will be loss.
2] Some of the living things might lose their habitats and some animal and plant species will go extinct.
3] I think that man kind should stop using a lot of papers, as that will reduce the amount of trees being cut down

# data[].attributes.body
1. There would be more greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide being released to the surroundings when deforestation occurs and it would cause the earth to be warmer.When trees are cut down,it can no longer hold the soil together hence,soil erosion occurs and soil would be washed of to nearby rivers and cause water pollution to take place.
2. Livingthings living there would lose their homes/habitat which can lead to species extinction.
3. Man kind should reuse papers as it could prevent the cause of cutting down too many trees and cause deforestation to take place.

1)If deforestation carries on,there will be lesser trees to take in oxygen and more carbon dioxide will be released to the surrounding air.
2)The living things there will lose their habitats and some might have nowhere to go and then they just died.
3)People living on earth can reduce the use of paper and grow more plants to replace the cut trees.

1)This will effects the temperature of the earth and cause the temperature to rise warmer and warmer each year. It can also melt the ice in the areas of certain places around the earth. This also causes many place around the earth to have floods
2)The living things on earth will die of lack of food, temperature too high or too low, lack of water and animals who can't adapt to their environment.
3)We can help the earth by using less electricity at home and in school. We can also help by wasting less paper and things away as it can be reuse and recycle again. We can also help by donating the things that we don't want but still can use.

1. Deforestation will result in allowing a greater amount of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. This will eventually lead to global warming.
2. The living things will lose their habitat and forced to search for other habitats. Some animals can even go extinct due to this.
3. We could reduce the amount of paper that we use since paper is made out of wood. We could also carry out reforestation to reduce greenhouse gases.

1)If man still does continue to carry out activities that would effect the enviroment,it could result in more air,water or land pollution.The air pollution is caused by haze which is caused by burning forests and it can cause difficulty in breathing and eye irritation or acid rain which is formed when pollutents from smoke dissolve in rain.Acid rain could damage buildings and outdoor structures,kill trees or aquatic animals and it pollutes our our water supply too.Pollution is also caused by litter that pollutes land and water which is unpleasent to look at,gives off a bad smell and it attracts pests and disease-causing organisms,chemicals like pesticides,insecticides or weedkillersthat are used to kill organisms that damage crops,CFCs,untreated human waste,smoke and cigarette smoke that contains substance that pollutes the air which is harmful to health and can cause lung cancer.
2)Due to pollution,many aquatic animals die and trees die too.Affecting in lesser oxygen for us to breath in.Pollution can also cause harm to humans by haze, which is a form ov air pollution,consisting of dust and pollutents shch as smoke.When weather conditions block the dispersal of haze,the pollutents concentrate and form a low hanging layer that rediuces visibilityand can cause harm to the human body.Water pollotion on the other hand, can cause aquatic animals to die for example,when a whale die, plastic is found in it as a result of the autopsy performed on it after death.Land pollution on the other hand, includes litter and untreated human waste which will then be released into water bodies making water unsafe for drinking and wasjing as we may easily get diseases or virusses.
3)Although mans impact on the enviroment is negative,there are still ways vor us to reduce pollution for example by using the 3 Rs.We can reduce use of fuels that reduces production of smoke and gereenhouse gases which crowds around earths atmosphere such as carbon dioxide,trap heat from the Sun and make Earth warm.Wr could also reduce the amount of litter pruduced that could reduce pollution of land and water.Besides that,we could also reduce the use of CFCs or we could reduce the use of paper and plastic products.We could also reuse products instead of throwing them away after use and we should also recycle plastics such as shopping bags,glassjars and metal product such as aliminium cans.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Global temperature would increase as more greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide,nitrous  oixde,methane and flourinated gasses is release into the earth atmosphere which trapping heat from the sun
2.Toxic air pollution would cause health issues such as birth effects and cancer.
3.We could reduce the amount of fossil fuel used when transporting and manufacturing.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Land pollution causes higher risk of deforestation and soil erosion. Air pollution causes higher risk of acid rain, respiratory and heart problems and global warming. Plastic pollution will increase the release of more poisonous gas and chemicals, resulting humans and animals to suffocate and might die.

2. Humans and animals will suffocate as they breathe in the air which is poisonous that is given out  by factories and cars. Animals that live in the oceans or seas will die as they may accidentally eat and choke on the plastic that was thrown in by inconsiderate people and animals may think that plastic is food that is tasty as they never seen a plastic before. They may think that humans gave them food to eat thinking that we are trying to be considerate.

3. ~Decrease usage of plastic
~ Make people aware about the concept of Reduce, Recycle and Reuse.
~ Conserve energy

1) The Earth will gain more heat because more heat will be trapped. More greenhouse gases will be given out, forcing trees to take in more greenhouse gases.
2) Living things will lose their homes. Thus, they would need to find another home. If they fail to find another home, their species will soon extinct.
3) We could reduce the amount of paper we use for reforestation. This helps to minimise the large amount of greenhouse gases harming the Earth.

1) Ever since the industrial revolution started, factories, power plants and cars had burned fossil fuels such as oil and coal. This action releases huge amount of  greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases traps heat near the earth. This process is called the greenhouse effect. This process begins with the Sun, where some of the heat energy is absorbed by the atmosphere. Hence, the temperature of the earth increases.
2) The living things that are there will find it harder to survive as the temperature of the earth is increasing, some people tend to cut off their habitat and it will also be harder for them to find food as there would be less organisms living there.
3) Man could help to reduce the negative impact on the environment by using public transport or walking instead of using private car when travelling from one place to another and alsoat the same time by switching off electrical appliances when not in use.
