Environmental Choices Topic 3

Our Footprint Sustainability means that the resources of nature are being renewed as quickly as they are being used Fishing in Canada has become a concern due to a decline in the fish populations Fish will often be protected to help save ecosystems

Impact If we split the usable land on Earth evenly, each person would get about 1.3 hectares To lessen our impact on the environment, we have to be aware of the natural resources we consume per day

The 3 R’s Reduce the amount of garbage you produce Reuse products rather than throwing them away Recycle materials It takes 97% less energy to recycle aluminium than to create it
