CONSUMPTION SECTORS
Module 1 Lesson 1 - Agriculture and Forestry

Activity: List at least THREE (3) human activities that are related to agriculture and forestry.
1. Farming
2. Deforestation (converting forest lands into agricultural lands and industrial lands)
3. hunting
Analysis: From your given answers, pick ONE (1) activity and point out the advantages and
disadvantages of such activity to the environment.
Activity : Deforestation
Advantages:
1. It creates sustainable land for human use
2. It creates jobs ( because of industrial buildings created)
3. It gives us materials: lumbers from trees cut during deforestation can be turned into
wood products( furniture’s and papers)
Disadvantages:
4. May cause destruction of animals habitat and biodiversity
5. Flooding and landslide would most likely occur because here are no large trees to hold
the water
6. Land lost to desertification
7. Soil degradation and erosion
8. Changes the structure of our atmosphere and change of weather (climate change)

Application: Analyze the illustration below. Explain the relationship between agriculture and
climate change.
Poor agricultural practices like extensive farming and application of pesticides creates
the production of greenhouse gases and affect the quality of air. These practices affect climate
change. At the same time, climate change also affects agriculture through the changes in
temperature,precipitation,and wind patterns that greatly affects agricultural production.

Module 1-Lesson 2 – Fishing and Hunting

Activity : Unscramble the words in Column A, write your answer in Column B and determine which
sector those words belong (Fishing or Hunting) and write your answer in Column C.

Column A Column B Column C

1. IHRFEIESS FISHERIES fishing
2. OAICGNPH POACHING hunting
3. SAACRCS CARCASS hunting
4. WATRSL TRAWLS fishing
5. GOIIEVFSRHN OVERFISHING fishing
6. IIOETCTNNX EXTINCTION hunting

Analysis: Fishing and hunting are common human activities. To what extent these activities start
causing damages to the environment? Analyze the images on Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2 below to help you
expound your answer.

Figure 1.1 Overfishing

Overfishing reduces the abundance, spawning potential and population growth of fishes. Some
human activities like destructive fishing techniques and lack of selectivity may result to changes in the
productivity of resources, at the same time may cause damaged to the environment, especially the
fishing environment.

 Figure 1.2 Poaching
Poaching is the illegal hunting or capturing of animals, to the extent that it will lead to extinction
of animals. Hunting to extinction affects the natural environment, it will cause decline in the particular
animal or species, and also it disrupts migration and hibernation of animals. Smoke and litters from
hunters may negatively impact the environment and animals.

Application: You have learned that if fishing and hunting are both properly regulated, negative effects to
the environment can be avoided. Give at least (1) recommendation of what programs can be
implemented to control fishing and hunting activities.

Fishing: Encourage sustainable fishing

Hunting: Stop illegal animal trade and poaching

to technology based equipment’s making our work less hassle and easier. However with this
improvement and comfort it brings us, separates us from natural spaces, our world is endangered, and
trees are lesser in numbers for it is turned into tall buildings.

 Application: A. Provide the possible hydrological impact of human activities to the environment. Use the
designated column for your answers.

Human Activities Hydrological Impacts in the Environment

1. Drilling of wells Wetland can dry up

2. Mass construction of houses, etc
Emits large amounts of carbon dioxide that
causes pollution and produce waste that greatly
affects wildlife and freshwater turns polluted due
to waste thrown to riverbanks and even in
shorelines.

3. Urbanization of area completed by the addition Increased direct water discharges, reduce habitat
of more buildings quality in urban streams, increased irrigation,
increased leakage from sewers and septic system
from water supply infrastructure.

4. Drilling of deeper, large-capacity industrial Loss of hydraulic pressure may cause the ground
wells to collapse because the ground became dry.
Fueling climate change.

5. Increased use of water for air conditioning Decreased in water supply, water pollution

B. Give at least 5-sentence descriptions on how human hydrologic activities decrease long term water
security and availability.

The continuous rise of human population, increases the need to use water, decreasing water
levels due to human hydrologic activities. And when human’s population continue to expand, there is a
need to construct larger dams. Also, human activities pollutes the water, water security is now a
problem. Because our water is no longer safety or secure due to water pollutions coming from human
hydrologic activities. Our activities and the continuous rise of human population triggers the decrease in
water supply and availability.

 1. What is the significance of the nature of work to the total calorie intake?

- The more energy we consumer or use, the higher calorie intake we need. Calorie is the unit of
energy, to be able to perform our roles, we need energy. That is why for athletes, they need to eat or
consume higher calories than a normal person because they need more energy to move.

2.How does this activity depict the country’s use of energy?

- everyday people consume energy, from transportation , the food we eat, electricity, and many
more. Our county's energy consumption is increasing as population increases.

Application -Create a diagram that illustrates the relationship between population, energy consumption,
use of transportation and environment.

-Make a brief and concise explanation of your diagram.

-Suggest a practical way to mitigate the negative impact of energy use and transportation.

POPULATION
ENERGY CONSUMPTION ENVIRONMENT

TRANSPORTATION

- Population consumes energy through the use of transpy, also we cannot use transportation without the
use of enery, both humans and transportation consumes energy. And too much use of this energy will
greatly affect our environment.

- in order to mitigate the negative impact of energy use and transportation to our environment, we can
start lessen the use of electricity for it consumes a lot of energy, try also walking or using bikes instead of
motor-powered engines or cars. In this way, we cannot just help consume energy but also protect our
environment.

Assessment: Encircle the letter of the correct answer.

1. The form of energy that is mainly responsible of global warming.

ANSWER: C

2. Water quality can be deteriorated by the following EXCEPT.

ANSWER: A

3. Which of the following is considered to be the cleanest energy?

 ANSWER: B

4. What is considered to be the life of Philippine transportation?

ANSWER: A

5. Which energy is the most practical to use as of today?

ANSWER: B

Essay: The following needs your brief and concise answer. Question: How does transportation destroys
us when in fact it practically accelerates the country’s development?

Our world is developing, part of the improvement of our community, we can see cars
everywhere and many types of transportation: land, water and air transportation. It makes our
daily life a lot easier. We get to our destination faster. We could go any places we want, no
matter how many miles it is. It makes our life convenient. However, as our population continue
to rise, the need for transportation also rises. As people needs to use transportation, many cars
and other form of vehicles are produced, making streets crowded and full of vehicles. And
because too many vehicles needs a lot more spaces, we need to expand our roads, create
bypass, brigdes and railroads.

Smokes from vehicles can cause degradation of air quality, carbon dioxide emissions
increased the threat of global climate change, noise from vehicles, air pollution and noise
pollution that greatly affects all living things, both humans and animals, and also, the
construction of roads, trees where cut off, causing animals to loss their habitats, also because
there are a lot of cars, drainage systems are ofen blocked that can cause to water pollution.

Transportation may help us accelerate and develop, however, our nature is at risks, and the
negative effects it brought us destroys us.
