Row 1
what is climate change?
The long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.
The destruction of animals habitats
Deforestation.
Why are greenhouse gases bad?
When you trap too much of these greenhouse gases can cause Earth's atmosphere to trap more and more heat and case the Earth to heat up.
What is an example of a solution for microplastics? Hint: *this is related to water*
It is a substance that is mixed into some water, where it attracts plastic particles. If you got this you right, instead of 200 points, you get 400 points!
Definition of greenhouse gases
A natural process that traps heat in Earth's atmosphere, keeping the planet warm enough to support life. If you got this wrong: Minus 200 points!
Fill in the blank! Soon in 2040, the cumulative amount of plastic in the ocean could reach_____________ tons.
A. 500 million
B. 600 million
C. 700 million
D. 650 million
B! 600 million tons
What is the difference between Net Zero buildings and a normal city building?
Net Zero is when carbon emissions are balanced, meaning that the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere by human activity is the same amount of carbon filtered out of the atmosphere. A regular building produces carbon dioxide, hurting the environment. If you got this right, instead of 300 points, you earn 600!
Give me 3 examples of climate change has been affected by? If you got all of the ones we put in our slide, you get instead of 300, 600. *there were 5 of them we mentioned.
heat waves, heavy downpours, increased heating, insect outbreaks, flooding, etc.
True or False... the freshwater crustaceans and nematodes are not affected by this because they eat microplastics.
Falseeeeee!!!!!!!!!! They eat algae, not microplastics.
Does bamboo plywood have a low or high carbon footprint?
It has a low
True or False does plastic pollution affect wildlife?
True
What are 3 solutions for redcing the amount of air pollution
Carpooling
Less amount of fossil fuels burned
Walking
Even less amount of fossil fuels burned
Planting Trees in busy areas
Carbon Sink → Carbon Control
What are some examples of aquatic cleaning?
Magnetic Powder Technology to clean large bodies of water
Water filtration
What material can be used instead of wood when can it be harvested without dying?
Bamboo plastic - every 1 year without killing the plant
How small are microplastics?
A. 5 millimeters
B. 4 millimeters
C. 3 millimeters
D. 6 millimeters
A!!!! 5 millimeters
