Science - A Sustainable World

This is when large areas of forest are destroyed to make way for non-forest use such as farmland, housing and roads

This is when no more individuals of a certain species are alive anywhere in the world

This is the protection and careful management of the Earth's natural resources to prevent living things from becoming extinct

This happens when harmful substances are added to the environment

This is the burning of fossil fuels in cars which releases nitrogen oxides into the air

These gases dissolve in the air's moisture to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid

This falls back to Earth as acid rain

It washes minerals out of soil and into lakes which kills fish

It damages buildings and statues

It harms leaves which means trees and plants cannot photosynthesise

Use renewable energy such as wind

Install catalysts in cars to remove the harmful nitrogen oxides from exhaust fumes

Plant more trees

This is living in a way that meets the needs of our society without threatening the needs of future societies

This is the burning of waste which releases poisonous gases into the air

This involves reducing, reusing and recycling waste
