6. The definition of an environmental issue are :
 Was rather broad, including both
problems, factors, consequences and causes.
These environmental issues were categorized
and grouped together, and linkages between
issues established through flow-charts.
 Known process (such as resource consumption)
that has negative effects on the sustainability of
the environmental quality necessary for the well
being of the organisms living in it.

8. Global warming is one of the major issues that we are
being faced with today. The term signifies an
increase in the atmospheric temperature near the
earth's surface, which is caused due to various
reasons. Scientists are of the opinion that a rise in the
carbon dioxide levels will further aggravate the
situation.
The greenhouse effect causes the earth's heat to be
trapped in the atmosphere, which results in the
increase in temperatures. Global warming has thus
caused a change in the climate of the
earth, causing temperatures to rise. This in turn has
an effect on various species dependent on the basic
laws of nature. A change in the same makes survival
a difficult issue. A warmer earth also causes changes
in the rainfall patterns and thus affects
humans, plants and animals as well.

10. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are considered to be the
main cause of ozone depletion. The term ozone
depletion implies a decline in the quantity of ozone
in the Earth's stratosphere. The loss of ozone in the
lower stratosphere was first recorded in Antarctica in
the 1970s. As we all know, the earth's atmosphere is
composed of many layers; ozone forms one such
layer in the stratosphere. CFCs are used in aerosol
sprays as well as air conditioners. These, when
released into the atmosphere add to the ozone
depletion. The ozone hole in the Antarctic is caused
primarily due to these CFCs. Due to ozone
depletion, humans are faced with various other
problems such as dealing with the harmful effects of
UV rays. These not only affect humans, but in turn
affect plants and various other species of animals as
well.

12. Pollution is something that we face on an everyday
basis. It is probably a problem that we may have
become immune to, given our fast-paced lives and
the fact that it is being treated as a hackneyed
issue, where a lot is spoken about but nothing
concrete is ever done.
Air pollution and noise pollution are increasing at an
alarming rate today.
Air pollution occurs with the addition of harmful
chemicals into the earth's atmosphere. The main
pollutants that cause the same are carbon
monoxide, CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons), nitrogen
oxides and sulfur dioxide.

13. Noise pollution occurs when the noise levels
(honking, loud speakers) crosses the normal decibel
levels of sound. This can have a harmful effect on
one's hearing and lead to more severe, forms of
after-effects, both physical and psychological
(fatigue, irritation, stress).
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies
(e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and
groundwater). Water pollution occurs when
pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into
water bodies without adequate treatment to
remove harmful compounds. Water pollution affects
plants and organisms living in these bodies of water.

15. Nuclear energy is generated from the splitting of
uranium atoms. This energy is used to create
steam, which in turn is used to produce electricity.
While there are definite advantages of generating
nuclear power, what stands equally true is the fact
that the process of producing the same harms the
environment in many ways.
Along with that, the storage of nuclear power at a
plant, as well as the fact that most other equipment
in the plant will also convert into radioactive material
over time and remain radioactive for several years is
a major threat. While decaying, radioactive material
releases certain particles which lead to damaging
effects on health like cancer. Along with these
health concerns, production of nuclear energy also
leads to several other harmful effects like

17. Biodiversity refers to the combination of a diverse range
of species on earth. The varied plants, animals and
microorganisms, the different ecosystems (coral
reefs, deserts, rain forests) etc all have a unique role
to play in the cycle of earth. These diverse species
lead to the boost of varied ecosystems, which thus
enables them to prevent, as well as recover from
several disasters. However, due to varied human
activities like deforestation, and hunting, the natural
habitats as well as the survival of several species is
being threatened.
Several plant and animal species have been led to
the brink of extinction while others have already
become extinct. The extinction of animals and plants
can lead to varied effects, some of which are -
increase in sea levels (leading to
floods), droughts, wildfires, forest destruction and
more.

19. If everyone in the world threw garbage and litter
indiscriminately wherever they went, the world as we
knew it would soon be in ruins.Litter in our
surroundings is an important environmental
issue, which many people overlook. While a majority
of people do know that littering is a bad thing, many
continue to carelessly scatter their trash around
nonetheless.Littering can be hazardous to one's own
health as well. Why do people litter? Quite
frankly, the main reason is simple laziness.

20. If you have garbage to dispose of, and there's isn't a
garbage can nearby, then wrap your trash up (in a
napkin, plastic, paper bag, etc) and place it in your
pocket or carry it with you until you reach a garbage
can. Also, make sure that the trash actually goes into
the garbage can, and does not fall to the side.
It's all a simple matter of proper waste
disposal, which is vital for our environments and for
our ecosystems.The truth is, we all know about the
problem. Now its time to act on it, if you haven't
been. But if you already do have proper and
responsible waste disposal habits, remember that
you can make a difference by encouraging others
to follow your example

21. 10 Harmful Effects of Litter
1) Litter cost money. Removing litter cost everyone
who pays taxes.
2) Threat to Public Health. Attracts rats and other
rodents and is a breeding ground for bacteria.
3) Litter can be a fire hazard.
4) Looks bad, and can effect the value of your home
and business.
5) Can affect local economy, especially in tourist
locations.
6) Harm or kill wildlife.
7) Harms Waterways. Even animal leavings, leaves and
grass affect wildlife.
8) It demoralizing and disgusting.

23. Climate change is a significant and lasting change in
the statistical distribution of weather patterns over
periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It
may be a change in average weather conditions or
the distribution of events around that average
(e.g., more or fewer extreme weather events).
Climate change may be limited to a specific region
or may occur across the whole Earth. “Science has
made enormous inroads in understanding climate
change and its causes, and is beginning to help
develop a strong understanding of current and
potential impacts that will affect people today and
in coming decades. This understanding is crucial
because it allows decision makers to place climate
change in the context of other large challenges
facing the nation and the world.

25.  Illegal logging contributes to deforestation and by
extension global warming, causes loss of biodiversity
and undermines the rule of law. These illegal
activities undermine responsible forest
management, encourage corruption and tax
evasion and reduce the income of the producer
countries, further limiting the resources producer
countries can invest in sustainable development.
Illegal logging has serious economic and social
implications for the poor and disadvantaged.
 Illegal logging is the
harvest, transportation, purchase or sale of timber in
violation of laws. The harvesting procedure itself may
be illegal, including using corrupt means to gain
access to forests; extraction without permission or
from a protected area; the cutting of protected
species; or the extraction of timber in excess of
agreed limits (see Box 1).

26. “ Earth allows you to stand. “
“ Let it stand the way it is. “
“ Give a toot. Don't pollute! “
Nurture Nature For Our Future!
When the Earth dies, where will you live?
You've only got one planet. Don't trash it.
Snow is melting the Earth is crying!
Nature saves us so we have to save them!
Pollution, pollution green is the solution

27. A. 3'R's are the solutions viz., REDUCE, RECYCLE &
REUSE
 REDUCE -
Consumption of natural resources to the extent
possible
Emission of carbon into atmosphere
Developmental projects affecting environment
Human activities acclerating global warming and
climate changes
Deforestation for developmental activities
Consumption of non biodegradable materials in
every day life
Human activities causing pollution of water
bodies, air, forests, soil
Consumption of energy to reduce pollution and
exploitation of nature

28.  RECYCLE -
All wasted/spent natural resources to reduce their
consumption
All used materials with the available technologies
All used materials manufactured with trees/plants to
reduce deforestation
 REUSE -
All spent natural resources to reduce more fresh
consumption
All materials manufactured with trees/plants for their
conservation
All recycled materials to reduce the demand
ALSO: Education. It is not this simple to solve our
current-day environmental problems. There has to
be a paradigm shift in our way of thought and the
way we perceive our environment. Still, these

29. B. Easy Ways to Save the Environment
Plant more trees. This is easy, you know? Choose an open
area/ground near your residence or workplace. Unless
there's any law restricting you from growing trees in that
area, go ahead, grow trees. Plant a tree every
month, encourage your friends and colleagues to join
you. Have more and more trees planted and there will
come a day when you have a green stretch of land
thanks to your effort.
Use CFC-free products. CFCs are released from aerosol
sprays, air conditioning systems and refrigerators. Some
cosmetic products too, contain CFCs. Some countries
have already banned the use of CFC products. CFCs
contribute to ozone depletion and greenhouse effect.
Using CFC-free products is the simplest way to prevent
the harm they cause to the environment.

30. Use renewable sources of energy as much as possible.
Resort to the use of renewable sources like solar, wind
and hydro power. Start from your own house.
Go green when gardening or farming. Activities like
composting can be of great help in recycling garbage
into useful manures. Avoid excessive use of chemical
fertilizers and synthetic nutrients. Natural manures are a
better option for farms and gardens. Go for
vermicomposting. Vermicompost makes a very good
organic fertilizer. Instead of dumping rotten
vegetables, leftover food, eggshells, teabags, vegetable
stalks and fruit rinds in the garbage bin, use them to
make organic manure for your garden. Replace lawns
with bushes and trees. If you live in an area where there's
scarcity of water, use drought-tolerant plants in the
garden. This will help you save water. Using non-native
plants disrupts the ecological balance.

31. Save energy. There are so many electrical gadgets you
must be using daily - the air
conditioner, heater, refrigerator and oven among many
more. Then, there are lights and fans. Turn off the AC
when not in use. Refrigerators and water heaters
consume a lot of power. So use them scrupulously. Switch
off the lights and fans in your room before leaving it.
Make sure the electrical appliances are not left on
(unless necessary), when leaving the house. Make it a
point to switch off the television set or music system after
use.
Save water. Water is a very important natural resource. It's
we who waste it, pollute it. The simplest ways to save
water - turn off water taps after use. Use of flushes and
showers can lead to wastage of water. Use only as much
water as necessary. When you visit a beach, see that you
don't spill food or dump waste around. Do not pollute
rivers by dumping garbage, sewage or other waste

32. Walk more, drive less. Now that's not very difficult, is it?
Choose to walk short distances instead of taking your car
every time. Go walking to the gym, to work (if it's not very
far), go walking to run errands. Or use a bicycle. Both
cycling and walking are good exercises. And each time
you avoid using your car, you are contributing to
reducing air pollution. You are saving fuel, saving money
and getting a good workout too.
Maintain your vehicles in good condition. It may not be
possible to go cycling or walking everywhere. To some
distances, there's no other option but your car. But how
about at least maintaining it in good condition? Give
your car a regular servicing. Clean the exhaust pipes.
Check for pollutants emitted. Check air pressure in tires as
under-inflated tires lead to greater fuel consumption.
Maintain the air filter and fuel injection pump in good
condition. Check engine oil levels regularly.
