This is a challenge is because water is a vital human need. It is used in vast quantities for industries around the world.
As discussed by BioScience (2004) Agriculture consumes 70% of water world wide also informed us the amount of water needed to produce 1 Kg of cereal grain is 1,000 L of water and 43,000 L to produce 1 Kg of beef.

This indicates the challenge we should set ourselves as water a necessity for human survival could become scarce. ]]> 2018-10-14 22:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/LauraTourism/ze1k59fendi/wish/292602899 https://padlet.com/LauraTourism/ze1k59fendi/wish/292602963 lack of energy or materials meaning there isn't enough or as mch as there used to be

By increasing the heat in the atmosphere, greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which leads to global warming". https://padlet.com/LauraTourism/ze1k59fendi/wish/292603445 (Live science, 2018, para. 1)

The two most prevalent gases are Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Methane (MH4), Both are normally balanced by “sinks”, natural systems and processes which cycle the excess gas through chemical, physical or biological interactions (Mann, 2018). However, since us humans have been gathering speed where industry is concerned, our GHG production has increased beyond the capacities of the sinks to balance the planet; and consequently, the planets atmosphere has been slowly warming.The planet itself does self-regulate, with ice ages for example, but us humans are almost like a plague on this planet. Without the forethought to consider our survival on it’s surface early enough; or indeed to help our own survival quick enough. ReferencesMann, M. E. (2018, September 19). greenhouse-gas.

replace light bulbs with lower watt using compact florescent light (CFL), it would eliminate 90 billion pounds of greenhouse gases, the same as taking 7.5 million cars off the road.
Drive less, Drive smart- less driving means fewer emissions and saves gasoline.
Buy energy efficient products- appliances now range in models that are energy-efficient.
Switch off power- save electricity and reduce global warming, use only what is needed.
Plant trees - trees absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. (A tree alone can absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.
Encourage others to be conservative - bringing awareness brings about accountability, it should be everyone's responsibility to care for our planet.

The more people we have on the plant, the more cars and food resources will be used meaning, Co2 imitions adding to the worlds Climate change disaster. Warmer oceans and melting glaziers meaning higher water levels and less sea life production.
The warmer weather will dry out horticultural lands, making it hard for businesses to grow production. We need clean water for our animals that are resources to food, cows - milk and beef, chickens for eggs and meat, the more people we have the more food we need to provide. The more food we need to provide, the more resources we need to grow/make the food. ]]> 2019-05-27 04:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/LauraTourism/ze1k59fendi/wish/363645562 Definition https://padlet.com/LauraTourism/ze1k59fendi/wish/363645564 The affects of wastage and Hazardous wastage plays a big part in global warming and the causing of bad air quality and chemical pollution.
