The Environment Section 3 Section 3: Environmental Solutions Preview Bellringer Key Ideas Conservation and Restoration Reducing Resource Use Technology Environmental Awareness Planning for the Future Summary

The Environment Section 3 Bellringer Write 3 to 4 sentences describing a global, national, or local environmental problem you have heard about and any efforts that are being undertaken to correct the problem.

The Environment Section 3 Key Ideas How do conservation and restoration solve environmental issues? What are three ways that people can reduce the use of environmental resources? How can research and technology affect the environment?

The Environment Section 3 Key Ideas, continued How do education and advocacy play a part in preserving the environment? Why is it important for societies to consider environmental impact when planning for the future?

The Environment Section 3 Conservation and Restoration Two major techniques for dealing with environmental problems are conservation and restoration. Conservation involves protecting existing natural habitats. Restoration involves cleaning up and restoring damaged habitats. The best way to deal with environmental problems is to prevent them from happening. Conserving habitats prevents environmental issues that arise from ecosystem disruption.

The Environment Section 3 Visual Concept: Conservation

The Environment Section 3 Reduce Resource Use We can reduce our use of resources, such as water and fossil fuels for energy. We can reuse goods rather than disposing of them. Furthermore, we can recycle waste to help protect the environment. One of the best ways that you can help solve environmental problems is by reducing the amount of energy that you use and the amount of waste that you produce. The reuse of goods saves both money and resources.

The Environment Section 3 Reduce Resource Use, continued The process of reusing things instead of taking more resources from the environment is called recycling. Recycling existing products generally costs less than making new ones from raw materials does.

The Environment Section 3 Visual Concept: Recycling

The Environment Section 3 Technology Research and technology can help protect our environment by providing cleaner energy sources, better ways to deal with waste, and improved methods for cleaning up pollution. Researchers must determine the cause of an environmental problem before they can provide a solution to it.

The Environment Section 3 Technology, continued Scientists make observations and collect data. After analyzing the data, a scientist may propose a solution to the environmental problem that was studied. Proposals should take into account the costs, risks, and benefits of implementing the solution.

The Environment Section 3 Environmental Awareness Education makes people more aware of environmental issues. Education also shows people how they can help address such issues. Expressing support, or advocating, for efforts to protect the environment can help get more people involved in these efforts.

The Environment Section 3 Environmental Awareness, continued Many environmental problems have been solved because of the efforts of those who advocate for a solution. Conservation groups make efforts to educate people, protect land, and influence laws through advocacy.

The Environment Section 3 Environmental Awareness, continued Some organizations work on an international level. Others work on local environmental problems. Some groups help farmers, ranchers, and other landowners ensure the long-term conservation of their land. Individuals and the media also play an important role in raising awareness of environmental issues.

The Environment Section 3 Environmental Awareness, continued Educating the public about the environment helps gain public support for solving environmental issues. Environmental education can enrich people’s experience of their world and empower them to care for it. Ecotourism is one way to educate the public about the environment. Ecotourism is a form of tourism that supports conservation of the environment. Often, an ecotourist is given an opportunity to help solve environmental problems as part of his or her tour.

The Environment Section 3 Planning for the Future Careful planning for the future can help us avoid damaging the environment and can help us solve the environmental issues that we face. If we want a safe, healthy, bright future, we need to actively aim for it. Society can plan by noting the effects of certain activities, such as development and resource use.

The Environment Section 3 Planning for the Future, continued After analyzing risks, costs, and benefits to the community, the government may choose to enforce limitations on the development. When governments plan for the future, they can protect resources for the community for years to come.

The Environment Section 3 Summary Conservation involves protecting existing natural habitats. Restoration involves cleaning up and restoring damaged habitats. We can reduce our use of natural resources, such as water and fossil fuels for energy. We can reuse goods rather than disposing of them. Furthermore, we can recycle waste to help protect the environment. Research and technology can help protect our environment by providing cleaner energy sources, better ways to deal with waste, and improved methods for cleaning up pollution.

The Environment Section 3 Summary, continued Education makes people more aware of environmental issues and of ways that they can help. Expressing support, or advocating, for efforts to protect the environment can help get more people involved. Careful planning for the future can help us avoid damaging the environment and solve environmental issues that we currently face.
