Make Earth Day Every Day
This is a power point presentation in honor of Earth Day. It was created to educate and inspire children to take responsibility as stewards of our earth.
Water Resources
The document discusses global water resources and the growing water crisis. It notes that while the total amount of water on Earth has remained the same, the population has doubled since 1940 and freshwater use has increased over four times. By 2025, two thirds of the world's population is estimated to be under water stress conditions. The water crisis is caused by factors like increased population, pollution from agriculture, domestic and industrial waste, and the unequal distribution of water resources versus population.
We are what we do
This document discusses the environmental challenges facing the world and calls on the reader to take action. It notes that resources like oil and rainforests will be depleted within decades and that plastic waste and water usage are unsustainable. The reader is encouraged to make changes like using less water and electricity, reducing plastic use, recycling, and buying fair trade products to help create a more sustainable future.
[Challenge:Future] HEAL THE LAND:SAVE WATER RESOURCES
This document proposes civic education campaigns to teach the public how to conserve water resources and prevent water depletion. The campaigns would educate people through various media and community talks on techniques like collecting rainwater, dangers of pollution and wastage. The goal is to increase awareness of how individual actions like wastage and pollution contribute to water shortages, and to empower people to change behaviors and help ensure sufficient water resources for the future. Educating the public is seen as an innovative way to address water issues compared to past approaches of just building infrastructure or raising funds.
Water resources
Water is used in many ways including drinking, washing, bathing, and more. Some uses are good as they conserve water while others are bad and waste water. China produces more food per unit of water than other countries through techniques like reusing wastewater, mulching to reduce evaporation, and growing drought-tolerant crops. To address the problem of wasting too much water, proposals include campaigns to raise awareness and using less water when bathing.
Desalination!!
Desalination provides fresh water by removing salt from seawater but has some problems. The leftover brine is dumped back into the sea, affecting marine life. While desalination provides an alternative to competing for fresh water sources, it is an expensive process and the water produced is not as clean or safe as natural sources. Efforts are being made globally and in Qatar to reduce the environmental impacts of desalination.
Script for the water conservation and management presentation
This document contains a draft script for a presentation on water conservation and management. It begins with introductory quotes about humanity's dependence on water. The presentation then thanks those who supported making the presentation happen. The main goals are to highlight water's significance, that it is taken for granted despite being a non-renewable resource, and to encourage responsibility in passing it to future generations. The group embarked on learning about water to understand why conservation is important. Later slides discuss water sources, needs, scarcity issues, and techniques to meet demand such as rainwater harvesting, reuse, and desalination.

World water Day
World Water Day is celebrated annually on March 22nd to raise awareness of the importance of fresh water. The goals for 2014's World Water Day focused on raising awareness of the close interdependence between water and energy, as many energy sources require water in their production and water treatment and distribution requires significant energy usage. A key issue highlighted is that over 2.5 billion people lack access to basic sanitation and clean drinking water, resulting in over 1.5 million deaths per year from water-borne diseases like cholera.
Water conservation
Water is essential for life on Earth and other planets. It is the only known planet that supports water and life. With only a limited supply of pure water on Earth, conservation is important. Over 4 million people die each year from water-related diseases due to dirty water and lack of access to clean water, especially in developing countries. Everyone must understand their individual responsibility to save water in daily activities like gardening, cleaning, and hygiene through small changes like using rain water and being mindful of water usage. Proper conservation methods can help ensure more sustainable access to water.
Perpetual plastic
Americans purchase 29 billion plastic water bottles per year that take centuries to decompose. 75% of empty bottles end up polluting oceans, lakes, and streams. Not only are plastic bottles bad for the environment, but the water contains contaminants - about 22% of bottled water contains contaminants similar to tap water. The document recommends drinking filtered water as the best option, as water filters remove contaminants without polluting the environment like disposable plastic water bottles.
Neer projectslide share_v1.0
This document discusses water distribution and usage on Earth. It notes that while water covers most of the planet, only 3% is freshwater and most of that is in glaciers and icecaps. It also discusses growing issues of water scarcity due to population growth, pollution, and climate change. Solutions discussed include increasing water storage and transfers between basins, water reuse, and desalination. The sustainable and conservation-focused management of water resources is emphasized.
Energy Project
The document estimates the amount of oil that could be saved from not using plastic bags for shopping. It finds that an individual would save around 0.12 barrels of oil per year, a family 1.66 barrels, and a community like Ketchikan around 1660 barrels. However, the larger impacts are on the environment, as plastic bags are a major source of litter and thousands of marine animals die each year from ingesting or entanglement in plastic bags. Using reusable cloth bags instead can significantly reduce plastic bag use and their environmental effects. Some places have enacted plastic bag bans or taxes that have successfully reduced plastic bag consumption.
Chapter 0 introduction to water resources.ppt
This document provides an overview of water resources and dryland environments. It discusses the global water cycle and how human activities have influenced water usage and scarcity. It also defines drylands based on factors like rainfall levels and vegetation. Drylands are categorized as either arid/semi-arid, where rainfall is the limiting factor, or wetter drylands where overgrazing can damage vegetation. Key characteristics of drylands are described related to natural resources, infrastructure, indigenous knowledge, lifestyles, mobility, and poverty levels.
Plastics
This document discusses the growing problem of plastic pollution globally. It notes that over half of all plastic produced is single-use and outlines what happens to plastic waste: only 9% is recycled, 12% is incinerated, while 79% is dumped in landfills or the environment. This plastic pollution has dire consequences, with 100,000 marine animals killed by plastic annually. The document advocates reducing single-use plastic production and increasing reuse and recycling efforts to ultimately achieve the goal of having no plastic in the environment.
Gem ppt-28- carbon footprints
This document discusses carbon footprints and how to calculate them. It begins by explaining what a carbon footprint is - the total amount of greenhouse gases produced directly and indirectly by human activities, usually measured in tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. It then discusses where carbon footprints come from, primarily the burning of fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal. The document provides details on how to calculate a carbon footprint using online calculators, which ask questions about location, household size, electricity/gas usage, transportation mileage. It concludes by offering tips to reduce carbon footprints in various areas of life like transportation, home energy use, travel, weddings, offices, and consumption habits.

Simple ways to live a life free from plastic pollution
Plastic pollution is a major threat as 250 babies are born every minute while a million plastic bottles are bought worldwide every minute, accounting for 0.3 billion plastic waste yearly. Plastic makes up 90% of ocean trash. The document suggests replacing disposables with reusable items, avoiding plastic water bottles and microbeads, buying used goods, refusing plastic bags, and using eco-friendly products. The Ponty Chadha Foundation's Mata Bhagwanti Chadha Niketan school encourages disabled students to make reusable bags and boxes from recyclable materials through an initiative called Swayam, helping reduce plastic pollution while making students financially independent and environmentally responsible.
Think before you drink bio
Only 25% of plastic water bottles are recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills and as litter. Plastic pollution from bottles has severely impacted ocean and beach environments, harming many sea creatures. The solution proposed is for individuals to shift away from single-use plastics by consistently using reusable water bottles instead of disposable ones.
FYE Going Green
The document discusses going green and its importance. It defines going green as making choices that reduce negative environmental impact through conservation. Key reasons to go green include rising population, threats like global warming, and the depletion of resources like rainforests. Some small ways to start going green include recycling, using reusable bags and water bottles, and turning off lights when not in use. The document emphasizes that going green through conservation is important for protecting natural resources and the environment for future generations.
Final report individual
Water is essential for life but is often wasted. Implementing water efficiency techniques in buildings can help conserve this important resource for current and future generations. Some methods include water harvesting, recycling greywater, and using water-saving devices. Practicing water efficiency provides economic, social, and environmental benefits like cost savings, better access to drinking water, and reduced pollution. However, achieving sustainable water use requires addressing challenges such as rapid population growth strains on supply. Public awareness campaigns that encourage reducing, reusing, and recycling water can also support water conservation goals.
Water resources
ppt on 10th class social science topic- Water resources.It contains topics like water sources, types of sources, water scarcity, water conservation and conservation methods.
Business
The document discusses the environmental pollution caused by jeans production in Xintang, China. Xintang is home to over 15,000 textile factories that produce 300 million denim articles per year, employing 220,000 people. However, the waste water from washing jeans to give them a worn look contains heavy metals and goes untreated directly into rivers. Tests found river sediment in Xintang contained cadmium levels over 100 times the national limit. While jeans are a large industry, the environmental effects of production must be addressed to bridge economic and environmental concerns.
Bottled Water
The document discusses the history and global spread of bottled water since its invention in 1947. It became popular in the 1960s for its clean taste and convenience. Consumption has quadrupled since 1990 with 50 billion bottles consumed annually in the US and 200 billion globally. However, bottled water costs 240-10,000 times more than tap water. While developed countries widely use bottled water, many developing nations lack reliable access to clean water. The environmental impacts of plastic water bottle production and disposal are also examined, as plastic bottles require oil to produce and most are not recycled.
Think before you drink bio
One out of four plastic water bottles purchased are recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills or as pollution. Plastic bottles are a major source of beach pollution and can harm sea creatures when ingested. A cultural shift towards reusable water bottles could eliminate thousands of disposable plastic bottles from becoming pollution.
Resources
Natural resources are materials provided by nature that are used by humans. They can be renewable, like water and forests, which can replenish, or non-renewable, like fossil fuels, which take millions of years to form. As populations grow, conservation of natural resources is important to ensure availability for future generations and maintain ecological balance. Various methods can be used to conserve different resources, like sustainable farming to conserve soil, limiting pollution and harvesting rainwater to conserve water, and protected areas and seed banks to conserve biodiversity. Legislation and public participation are also needed to effectively conserve natural resources.

Persuasive speech
Recycling reduces environmental damage by cutting down on the need to extract and process raw materials. When organic materials are dumped in landfills, they decompose and produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Recycling saves energy, conserves natural resources, reduces pollution, and helps tackle climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions. If everyone recycled, it would significantly reduce plastic pollution harming marine life and keep more waste out of landfills. Simple actions like cleaning up trash and recycling at home can help address this global problem.
Environment Fun Facts.pptx
Around 27,000 trees are cut down daily to produce toilet paper, equivalent to 9.8 million trees annually. Recycling a single edition of the New York Times could save 75,000 trees. Humans use only 1% of available water, with oceans holding 96.5% including plastic waste that kills over 1 million sea animals yearly. Greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide contribute to climate change, while waste production is highest in the US and plastic takes centuries to degrade, polluting oceans and landscapes. Reducing plastic use through reusable containers and bags can help curb pollution.

The document discusses several environmental issues and provides statistics to emphasize their importance. It notes that plastic bag use is extremely high, that energy-saving light bulbs can save a lot of money, and that chewing gum waste costs over £150 million to clean up. It also highlights issues like water shortages, loss of rainforests, and threats to plant and animal species if changes are not made. The document encourages individuals to take actions like conserving water, using energy-saving bulbs, reducing waste, buying fair trade products, and planting trees to help address these problems.
Creation at risk
This document discusses the issues of waste management and deforestation. It notes that the world produces over a billion tonnes of waste each year, far more than in the past, and much of this waste is buried in landfills. However, landfills have negative long term effects on the environment and health. The document also discusses the importance of trees and the problems caused by deforestation, as well as solutions like recycling and reforestation efforts.
Composting for Our Future
The document discusses the benefits of composting. It notes that while landfills are closing at a rate of one per day, trash creation has increased 80% since 1979. 40% of agricultural land is eroded globally. Composting can help address these problems by reducing landfill waste and mitigating soil erosion. The document defines compost and explains how composting yard trimmings and food waste could eliminate the need for 397 of the 1654 landfills in the US. It also discusses how composting techniques like Burkina Faso's zaï method can increase crop yields by 500% and help regenerate degraded lands.

- 3. Water Bottle Stats Water bottles do not decompose for thousands of years From 1997-2007 water bottle consumption doubled in the U.S. 76.5% of bottles end up in landfills
- 4. What Happens To The Ocean? Decompose very slow and drift in the ocean for many years. Each square mile of ocean has 46,000 plastic pieces floating in it. Ten percent of plastic produced every year worldwide ends up in the ocean. 70% of that number winds up on the ocean floor, where it will probably never degrade
- 5. What Happens To Old Pallets? 2/3 of this is used once then thrown out 1/4 of all wood in landfills is used pallets Businesses send hundreds of millions of pallets to landfills, spending billions of dollars in the process
- 6. How can we Help? Create a boat that uses recycled materials. This will give the poor an affordable way to start making money through jobs like fishing.
- 7. Current solutions Ideas that other people have come up with that could be used and modified to help our idea.
- 8. Cost Used pallets can be bought for as cheep as six or seven dollars. Water bottles are practically free. Altogether we should be able to make this for around 15 dollars.
- 9. Benefits Help the poor by giving them an affordable way to start making money by doing something like fishing.
