In this unit, you will find out about different ways humans are negatively impacting the environment. You will look at the different ways that designers are raising awareness of these problems through animation.

Your “Design Situation” will ask you to create a unique product (animation) that inspires positive behavioral change that lessens negative impact on the world around us.

2) Air pollution is a big problem because it is also making global warming so then it kills a lot of animals and humans. And it is important that air pollution can hurt our lungs every day as we are sometimes breathing really dusty air.

2) Air pollution would cause human and animals get sick

Because in order for us humans and every other living thing on Earth to thrive, we all need to breath air and breath in oxygen. But without that clean air, we will all die.

2: What are the big problems of air pollution?

I think the biggest problem to this is the fact that the unclean air can damage our lungs and make our body unhealthy but, we can't live without absolutely zero air pollution. This is because we still need factories to make things that are essential in some of our daily live and if we get rid of the factories, then we can't get the essential needs. Even if we don't use fossil fuel and use something else, the change from the fuels won't be as easy. And because of the factories and more reasons, not only humans, but also animals are affected by this unclean air.

2) Air pollution is a big problem because it also contributes to global warming and makes many people and animals get sick and other disease.

2) The trash we throw and the fish we always catch too much. The ocean is also very important for us also so we should try to keep the ocean safe for the animals. The ocean is also a big factor for us every day as over a billion people eat seafoods every day. We also throw nuclear wastes and things that are poisonous for the fishes and the coral reefs.

2) trash that is throw into the ocean is killing sea animals and polluted water that is put in the ocean is also going to cause water pollution and animals die.

2) All the toxins, waste, garbage, and chemicals we produce and make threaten the ocean and the species that live there.

Because the ocean generates a lot of the oxygen that we breath. Also, the animals and the life below the water is dying and it is our fault. These beautiful lives underwater are losing their colors, creatures getting stuck in trash that us, the humans, threw away and dying. Those animals under the water also brings benefits to us and the life on land. The destruction of their eco-system and the ocean can mean the destruction for us and the Earth as well. That is why clean oceans are important to provide us with one of the most important things that we need: oxygen, and many more benefits that the creatures that live in the ocean brings us.

2: What are the problems that threaten our ocean?

The problem is that we are throwing away too many trash that gets thrown into the ocean, especially plastic. And plastic is a big problem because it takes (I think) about 500 years to get broken down and in that 500 years, it pollutes our ocean. In fact, there has been too many trash that is dumped into the ocean that the currents of the oceans are creating huge trash islands. There is one that is so big in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (I think). There are also contaminated water that is dumped into the ocean and all of these pollute the water itself and also the animals living inside.

2 problem that threaten our ocean is

like overfishing and polluting plastic in the ocean

2)The problem is littering in the ocean

A lot of materials are shared between different species. We also male things that we have to throw away while there is no away place to throw. The waste also effects a lot of things for instance it affects what air we breathe, what we eat, and what we can do. The waste can also be very harmful for the animals as they don't know if its food or if its plastic

2)

It is not biodegradable and it harms the other animals and ourself. It is also very hard to not use any waste as a lot of our daily usages are mostly all waste. It is also very convenient to use so it is very easy but not good for the earth. It will also be very uncomfortable for us. The other problem is that we have to be very careful to use things and we have to know how much we will eat as if we don't finish it will be waste.

Because wastes and trash like plastics are polluting the environment. Factories that create these materials produce carbon dioxide and other things that can pollute the air. But, the objects that are created later might be turned into trash and be thrown into the ocean. That leads to severe water pollution and the process also causes air pollution. But, not only does it pollute the environment, it can also harm or even kill the animals and other living organisms that live on Earth.

2: What are the problems with waste

The problems with waste, especially plastic is that it takes way too long for it to be broken down and it stays floating around the ocean for a very very long time, causing harm to the animals and polluting the ocean. Also, another problem is that it is very hard for us to live without any waste at all. A lot of the things that we use in daily lives and are essential to us has trash included in it, or is the trash itself. This is why it is also very hard to get rid of all the waste and that serves us with another problem.

It is important because the environment is important to us, also a clean ocean environment is very important to the animal that live in the ocean.

2)what are the problems that threaten our oceans?

people throw bottle of water, plastic bag, trash, paper..............in the ocean.

2) the problem with wasting is when we are throwing trash peoples are

2) Waste is taking up space on our planet, space that we do not have so we cut down trees to store all of our garbage in a landfill, trees that used to be homes for hundreds of species of wildlife. If the waste does not end up in a landfill then it will go to the ocean which i even worse, the waste's toxins will seep into the water and contaminate it, and the fish in the ocean might mistake the garbage for food and die.

2)The problem is humans wasting trash.

2)the big problems are that people crafting trees and making animals no place to live

2) The big things that threaten our nature is that we keep on cutting and using things from the nature that we don't need to and we should not as it could be a animals habitat. The things that also threaten the nature is our polluting and waste as everything that is bad for the earth will affect the nature. And we cant continue a healthy ecosystem

2) I think the big problem is humans, humans have caused this mess to happen, we have cut down trees, burned fossil fuels, waste resources, litter and the list goes on, us humans have caused the near end to our home planet and the people that live on it.

Because nature itself is the Earth that we live in, and nature brings so many benefits to our lives. It produces us oxygen, there are animals and creatures that help the Earth thrive and provide us with things like rubber to fruits from their actions. Without them, we won't be able to live the convenience of our lives right now, maybe we would all be dead without nature. Without nature, we won't be able to obtain our essential needs to survive like healthy food, water, and oxygen to breath.

2: What are the big problems that threaten nature?

The biggest threat to nature, I think, is the pollution. The pollution on land and underwater is causing way too much harm to the environment, killing the residents of those habitats, and polluting the air and water which we need on Earth. The water provides us oxygen and also does air. If we breath in unhealthy air, our bodies will be unhealthy. And, no surprise, it is us, the humans, that are causing this use damage to our ecosystem and we are the villains.
