1. Environmental Issues Climate Change, Deforestation, Desertification, Conservation, Recycling, Natural & Technological Hazards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfmRf8iOBkI

2. Things to Know….. Desertification: a relatively dry land region becomes increasingly ariddry Deforestation: permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land useful for other uses Conservation: Official protection or care of forests, rivers, and other natural resources Resourcification: planned management of natural resources https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eTCZ9L834s&index=10&l ist=PL8dPuuaLjXtNdTKZkV_GiIYXpV9w4WxbX

3. Deforestation Causes: political, social, economical, environmental

5. Desertificatio n Causes: Overgrazing, over-farming, changing fertile land into land that is too dry for crops

6. Cont…….. ….climate change, over population

7. Conservation The protection of animals, plants, and natural resources The careful use of natural resources to prevent them from being lost or wasted. https://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=2D7hZpIYl CA&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtN dTKZkV_GiIYXpV9w4Wx bX

8. Recycling* Recycling is a process to change (waste) materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials Reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials Reduce energy usage Reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leHy- Y_8nRs&list=PL8dPuuaLjXtNdTKZkV_GiIYXpV9w4WxbX *

9. Pollution Introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change Can promote hardening of the arteries and heart disease What types of pollution are around us and what can you do? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdDSRRCKMiI&list=PL8dP uuaLjXtNdTKZkV_GiIYXpV9w4WxbX

10. Technological Hazards Originating from technological or industrial conditions Including accidents, dangerous procedures, infrastructure failures or specific human activities May cause loss of life, injury, illness or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage. https://www.yout ube.com/watch?v =cPiINrpQEgI

11. Natural Hazards A threat of a naturally occurring event that will have a negative effect on people or the environment Many are interrelated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW2qCK0I6cw

14. Climate Change* A significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years Affects rainfall, temperature, and water availability
