-Soil erosion, global warming, loss of biodiversity, flooding , droughts and extinction of species are all effects of depletion of natural resources in the natural environment

We should also try to drive less and take more public transport to reduce the amount of crude oil being used to fuel cars and slow down the depletion of natural resources

The average temperature of the earth is increasing as more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere,thus increasing the average temperature as greenhouse gas traps heat more and more people keep on turning on their air conditioners to keep cool. This increases greenhouse gas emissions

We can start recycling to prevent the worsen of global warming and climate change.

Air pollution particles eventually fall back to Earth. Air pollution can directly contaminate the surface of bodies of water and soil. This can kill crops or reduce their yield. It can kill young trees and other plants.

Land pollution causes contamination of drinking water. Polluted soil, which leads to a loss of fertile land for agriculture and a reduction in the availability of food. Climate change, which causes an onslaught of disastrous problems, including flash floods and irregular rainfalls.

Water pollution suffocates plants and animals and can create β€œdead zones,” where waters are essentially devoid of life. In certain cases, these harmful algal blooms can also produce neurotoxins that affect wildlife, from whales to sea turtles.

  1. Commute smart by walking or riding to work or the shops instead of driving. Motor vehicle emissions remain the most significant source of most common air pollutants.
  2. Choose a fuel-efficient vehicle next time you are replacing your car. The Green Vehicle Guide provides ratings on the environmental performance of new vehicles sold in Australia.
  3. Save energy, by turning off the television and make sure you flick the light switch when you leave the room. Not only will you save money on your electricity bill, you will be reducing emissions.
  4. Buy energy-efficient appliances. Check the energy rating label when buying new or second hand electrical appliances. More stars mean less emissions. 
  5. Use environmentally friendly cleaning products. Never  pour chemicals or fertilisers down the drain as they get washed into stormwater drains and into rivers or the ocean. This can cause water pollution and harm to marine life.

MdmDewi https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2642956046 Pollution is the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance which has harmful or poisonous effects.
The three major types of pollution are air pollution, water pollution and land pollution.]]> 2023-07-11 23:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2642956046 What are natural resources? MdmDewi https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2642956116
 Materials that come from the Earth and are used to improve life for all organisms on the 🌏 planet.

Some examples of natural resources are wood, coal, ores, minerals, oil etc]]> 2023-07-11 23:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2642956116 What is global warming? https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643012448
Global warming refers to the gradual rise in the overall temperature of the atmosphere of the Earth. There are various activities taking place which have been increasing the temperature gradually. Global warming is melting our ice glaciers rapidly. This is extremely harmful to the earth as well as humans]]> 2023-07-12 00:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643012448 https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643022375 2) We also have started to plant more trees to cool the earth down]]> 2023-07-12 00:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643022375 https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643022841 3) Also, people have started recycling paper using paper to make more paper.]]> 2023-07-12 00:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643022841 https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643025464 5) Deforestation can cause the natural habitats of animals who live in the forest or in the trees to be lost, and without a habitat, those animals could die.]]> 2023-07-12 00:50:44 UTC https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643025464 https://padlet.com/MdmDewi/P6RP1/wish/2643026193 3) Trees take in water from their roots.
