2. By using clean energy sources, we can reduce
air pollution, mitigate climate change, and
limit the negative impacts on ecosystems and
human health. This transition to cleaner
energy also helps to conserve natural
resources and decrease our dependence on
finite fossil fuel reserves.

SOURCES OF ENERGY
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
ENERGY
4. There are five major renewable energy
sources:
Solar energy from the sun.
Geothermal energy from heat inside the
earth.
Wind energy.
Biomass from plants.
Hydropower from flowing water.
5. Clean energy source.
Does not pollute air or water.
Renewable and sustainable energy.
Fuel is free and available worldwide.
Produces negligible air or water pollution. ...
Space efficient.
Low operating costs.
Great potential for powering homes
6. There is impact on environment.
Can potentially pollute the air, soil, and water
bodies.
The burning of coal emits CO2, SO2, toxic
heavy metals, cadmium, arsenic, and
mercury.
“Clean Coal” involves costs.
Coal source is finite.
Byproducts of coal mining include arsenic,
SO2, selenium, and mercury.
7. Improved Air Quality. Trees are called the
earth's lungs. ...
Climate Change. ...
Improved Water Quality. ...
Biodiversity and Habitat Protection. ...
People Act Greener. ...
Challenges. ...
Negative Effects. ...
Potential Indicators.
8. Humans impact the physical environment in
many ways: overpopulation, pollution,
burning fossil fuels, and deforestation.
Changes like these have triggered climate
change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and
undrinkable water.
