Description

Population can help explain some of the environmental problems in our world. This is the first assignment that will help us identify and understand current environmental problems. The following are the results of your class survey of which problems you believe are the most important: 60.78% Loss of natural resources 58.82% Air quality and pollution 47.06% Global warming 39.22% Overpopulation 25.49% Lack of pure water 23.53% Water pollution 21.57% Landfills 17.65% Toxic chemicals 17.65% Loss of ozone 11.76% Loss of cropland 9.80% Loss of biodiversity 7.84% Invasive species 5.88% Loss of usable soils There will be multiple assignments concerning environmental pollution. Your first task is to research the environmental problems in your country and the countries that surround it. From there we will learn about the specific environmental problems above. We will also use the wiki as a place to view researched information that helps us understand these environmental problems.
