Environment as sum of all the living –non living
elements and their effects that influence human life. While all living or biotic

2. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY
ENVIRONMENT?
• THE Complex of Physical chemical and biotic factors (such as climate, soil and living
things ) that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately
determine its form and survival . Environment as sum of all the living –non living
elements and their effects that influence human life. While all living or biotic
elements are animals , plants ,forests , fisheries and birds non living or abiotic
elements include water ,land sunlight ,rocks and air.
• The aggregate of social and cultural conditions that influence the life of an
individual or community.
3. Why humans are ruining the
environment ?
Humans pollute the air ,land and sea by burning
fossil fuels, overusing chemicals pesticides , and
creating sewage run off.
Humans have come to rely on fossil fuels to
power cars and planes , heat homes and run
factories. Other greenhouse gases emitted by
natural and artificial sources also include
methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases.
Human activity can be directly attributed to
the causes of hundreds of extinction in the last
two centuries, versus the4 million of years that
extinction naturally occur. As we progress
through the 21st
century , humans have changed
the world in unprecedented ways .
At least you need to be aware of all the factors
that contribute to this state and share the
knowledge
4. Ways humans impact the Environment
➢ Overpopulation
➢ Pollution
➢ air pollution
➢ water pollution
➢ soil pollution
➢ noise pollution
➢ Global warming
➢ Climate change
➢ Genetic modification
➢ Overfishing
➢ Deforestation
➢ Ozone depletion
5. Environmental protection
Environmental protection is the practice of
protecting the natural environment by
individuals , organisation . Its objectives are
to conserve natural resources and the
existing natural environment and where
possible to repair damage and reverse trends.
Pollution prevention protects the
environment by conserving and protecting
natural resources while strengthening
economic growth through more efficient
production in industry and less need for
household , business and communities to
handle waste .
6. It is important to raise awareness about
pollution
Environment awareness is critical because it can help to minimise pollution and
global warming .it also lead to a more sustainable world by promoting renewable
resources such as solar , wind, water. Environment awareness is to understand
the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection . Promoting
environmental awareness is an easy way to become an environment steward and
participate in creating a brighter future for our children .
There are many things we can do for creating awareness against environment
pollution among the public . it includes conducting rallies to create mass
awareness of environmental pollution with the participation of people , arranging
community meetings with the participation of local people and local
administration etc.
7. Environment policies
Protect and restore key ecosystems
Support small agricultural producers
Promote green energy
Promote electronic vehicles
Combat short -lived climate pollutants
Bet on adaptation not just mitigate
Environmental policy, any measure by a
government or corporation or other public or
private organization regarding the effects of
human activities on the environment, particularly
those measures that are designed to prevent or
reduce harmful effects of human activities on
ecosystems.
8. Solutions for mitigate climate change
Talk about global solutions to the problem
Social media can play a big role to create awareness among people about climate
change
Promote solar energy at national or international level
Switch to sustainable transport
Protect forest
Do afforestation
Invest in renewableenergy
Protects the oceans
Keep fossil fuels on grounds
Create social awareness through campaines
