words are an important part of sustainable

How does pollution affect aquatic ecosystems
and what can be done to prevent it? ( Water
pollution depletes aquatic
ecosystems and triggers unbridled
proliferation of phytoplankton in lakes —
eutrophication —. Contamination of the food
chain Note: Answer may vary.)

What is the impact of plastic waste on the

environment and what are some alternatives
to single-use plastics? (Environmental
impact of single use plastic
It takes an extreme amount of energy and
materials to make plastic bottles, which
end up going into the ocean or
landfills after only one use. They have a
huge carbon footprint and since most
aren't recycled, they are stuck here for up
to 1000 years before they decompose.)

What is the role of wetlands in the ecosystem

and why are they important? ( Environmental
impact of single use plastic

It takes an extreme amount of energy and

materials to make plastic bottles, which end
up  going into the ocean or landfills after only
one use. They have a huge carbon footprint
and since most aren't recycled, they are stuck
here for up to 1000 years before they
decompose.)

How does the carbon cycle work and what is

the role of humans in altering it? ( Burning
fossil fuels, changing land use, and using
limestone to make concrete all transfer
significant quantities of carbon into the
atmosphere. As a result, the amount of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere is rapidly rising; it is
already greater than at any time in the last 3.6
million years.
