Environmental Problems and Solutions

We have been talking about the Environment in classes. 

What environmental problems is Planet Earth facing nowadays? Are there any solutions?

Watch the videos below and think about this.



1. What are the main environmental problems mentioned in the video? What are the possible solutions?



2. Does Planet Earth look healthy in this video? What is destroying it? Are there any ways of solving them? Give some examples.



3. Do you know, what does carbon footprint mean? Can you explain its meaning after watching this video? 

After watching the three videos can you explain what is destroying our planet and what are you doing to protect it? 

Now that you have put some thought on this issue, go to Smore digital tool and do a flyer about two environmental problems. Mention the possible solutions as well.
You can also leave the answers to the questions above in the comments' area.
Good work and don't forget to GO GREEN.

  1. CS Nº7- In this video, Planet Earth seems unhealthy. Factories, pollution and noise are destroying the planet. Recycling, riding a bike and using renewable energies are possbible solutions to prevent enviornmental issues to increase.
    Yes I know what carbon footprint is. It is basically the things that humans do wrong like leaving the lights on, instead of turning them off.

  2. 2. Planet Earth was not healthy, because factories, cars and airplanes emit exhaust fumes. Solar and the wind energies are one solution to minimize air pollution. We can plant trees to reduce greenhouse gases. Riding a bike is another solution to reduce greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect.

    3. The carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide we produce that harms the environment, but we can change it. Man is wasting water and electricity, makes a lot of waste and drinks bottled water. The man should recycle, save water by closing the tap and save electricity by using LED light bulbs. This way the man will have a big ecological footprint instead of a bog carbon footprint.

    After watching the threes videos, the problems in the planet are: pollution caused by exhaust fumes; the greenhouse effect; electricity and water waste; natural disasters and climate change. To protect the planet we should use renewable energies, recycle, plant trees and ride a bike instead of using cars and public transportation.

  3. 1-The main environmental problems mentioned in the video are natural disasters , climate change and ice melthing. The possible solutions to these probelms are using renewable energies, recycling , reusing things and planting trees.

    2- Planet Earth is not healthy in this video because there is a lot of pollution caused by exhaust fumes. The best solutions to end it is riding a bike and following environmentally friendly regulations.

    3- The carbon footprint it is the amount of carbon dioxide we produce, which destroys the Planet.
