Responsible consumption and production is about encouraging resource and energy efficiency, sustainable structures, power and and other human needs , and providing access to regular human needs.

Plastic pollution. Plastic is used for good, but it is also damaging the environment. Animals eat plastic and lots of species die each day.

Reuse. Bring your own reusable shopping and produce bags to markets, and avoid using single-use plastic bags. ...

Greenhouse gases have far-ranging environmental and health effects. They cause climate change by trapping heat, and they also contribute to respiratory disease from smog and air pollution. Extreme weather, food supply disruptions, and increased wildfires are other effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gases

Palm oil makes deforestation. It kills many tree animals and fish. It sometimes sends fires to land. It clears land and makes it brown. 61% of energy of biofuel, power and heat and 39% of food, animal feed and chemical products.

The average economic losses from climate-related disasters are in the billions.There is also the human impact of geo-physical(earthquakes) disasters, which are 91 percent climate-related, and which between 1998 and 2017 killed 1.3 million people, and left 4.4 billion injured. The goal aims to get US$100 billion annually by 2020 to show the needs of developing countries to both adapt to climate change and invest in low-carbon development.

Cotton farming uses more pesticides than any other area of agricultural production. ... This high use of pesticides poisons our air, water and soil, and has a severe impact on ecosystems, causing harm to plants and animals.

The Causes of deforestation. (Arish and Bineth)

The causes are Logging, Agricultures, Fuelwood, Large Dams,Mining and Industry. This means we can’t get oxygen/02 and there will be too much carbon dioxide/ co2. This will make us die. DIE!

land pollution is caused by deforestation, harmful chemical and rubbish. deforestation will make the tree lesser and if there's no tree, there will have lesser fresh air. The harmful chemical can make the

There is no country that is not experiencing the drastic effects of climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions are more than 50 percent higher than in 1990. Global warming is causing long-lasting changes to our climate system, which threatens irreversible consequences if we do not act.

The bombs
Our topic is bombs, bombs are bad for the environment because it contains a switch (activator), a power source (battery), container (body), initiator( fusel), charge. These are the things that a contained in a basic bomb. A bomb is an explosive weapon that is used for multiple conditions, that are bad for the environment. Bombs are a weapon that use the exothermic reaction of an explosion material to provide damage.

Supporting vulnerable regions will directly contribute to climate action. These actions must also go hand in hand with efforts to integrate disaster risk measures, sustainable natural resource management, and human security into national development strategies. It is still possible, with strong political will, increased investment, and using existing technology, to limit the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, aiming at 1.5°C, but this requires urgent and ambitious collective action.

Our global issue: misuse of paper

dkpul — 2019-10-23 04:23:51 UTC

Around 35 per cent of all trees cut down are used to make paper – that’s 160,000km² of forest chopped down every year. But trees are a renewable resource and only nine per cent of the trees used for paper come from ancient forests. Recycling paper reduces the demand for trees and so fewer will be planted. And although recycling paper requires 40 per cent less energy than making it from scratch, modern paper mills normally generate their energy from burning waste wood whereas recycling plants often rely on electricity from fossil fuels. So that’s the case against.

In favour of recycling is the fact that paper mills use toxic compounds such as toluene, methanol and formaldehyde. A report by the US Environmental Protection Agency states that paper mills are among the worst polluters of any industry in the US. Recycling causes 35 per cent less water pollution and 74 per cent less air pollution than making new paper. Recycling a tonne of newspaper also eliminates 3m³ of landfill. As paper decomposes in the ground it produces methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas. On balance it seems that recycling paper is still much better than producing it from fresh pulp.

burning plastic creates carbon dioxide

Saving Trees

ddkeh — 2019-10-23 04:27:47 UTC

Did you know that Malaysia & Indonesian people use 80-90% of Palm oil in the world. 40% of the world is in deforestation. To solve this problem/situation, we could stop deforestation of palm oil and get coconut oil instead. It would save the animals like orangutans to live in there happy home, trees.
