1. Pollution, Waste, Energy Efficiency

2. What is Pollution?? DEF: Any addition to air, water, soil or food that threatens the health, survival, or activities of humans or any other living organisms. Natural or Man-Made Solid, liquid or gas = by-products or wastes 2 Sources Point Source –single identifiable source. Ex) Tailpipe, Drainpipe, Power plant Easier & Cheaper to ID Non-Point Source – dispersed, difficult to ID Ex) Spray or Runoff from farms, golf courses

4. Different Types of Pollution

6. AIR POLLUTION Global Climate Change? Stratospheric Ozone Depletion Urban Air Pollution Acid Deposition Outdoor Pollutants Indoor Pollutants Noise

11. Temperature Inversion traps pollution

12. Air Pollution Affects You!!

13. WATER &/or LAND POLLUTANTS Sediment & Runoff Nutrient Overloads/Algal Blooms Toxic Chemicals Infectious Agents Pesticides/Herbicides Oil Spills Excess Heat

14. Spraying Chemicals (non-organic)

15. If pollution affects the food chain then it affects YOU!!!

17. WASTE PRODUCTION SOLID WASTE –landfills, sewage HAZARDOUS WASTE Nuclear Waste

18. Landfill Site

19. Water & Sewage Treatment Plant

21. How do we live more sustainably?? FIND the BALANCE-make a change? Do OUR Part- stewardship for Earth Educate-tell a friend

23. P x A x T = I Population x Affluence x Technology = Impact Simplified model of three factors that equate the damage we do on Earth The number of people there are (P), multiplied by the amount of resources each person uses (A), multiplied by the amount of degradation (pollution & environmental waste) per unit resource equals environmental impact of population

25. Of Course Best Options: Prevent Pollution Management/Plan Reduce Reuse Recycle Do without

28. Laws that help protect us

29. Placards

30. Should we depend on Gov’t?
