11. Conservation of Energy Resources
Energy efficiency – use fewer resources to provide more usable energy
Cogeneration – the production two usable forms of energy, such as steam and electricity, at the same time from the same process.
Sustainable energy – will ensure current and future energy needs

13. Human Impact on Earth Resources
Chapter 27
Human Impact on Earth Resources

14. Make a list of some ways humans impact Earth
State if it is positive or negative impact
What determines the level of impact?
Are the impacts permanent or temporary?

15. Population and the Use of Natural Resources
All organisms use resources to sustain life.
The use of resources impacts the environment
Population increases, so does the demand for resources
Resources are limited
Population will reach the carrying capacity and stop growing
Human population explosion

16. Human Impact on Land Resources
We require a huge amount of land resources
Iron, aluminum, copper, sand, gravel, and limestone
Disrupts Earth’s surface
Mining
Agriculture
Monoculture
Pesticides
Topsoil
Forestry –loss of topsoil
Urban development

17. Human Impact on Air Resources
Human activities cause air pollution
Health problems
Global impact
Acid prercipitation
Ozone depletion
Global warming

18. Human Impact on Water Resources
Conservation is the best way to stretch supplies of freshwater
Human activities pollute the water
Decrease water pollution in U.S.
