Each team member must give a valid response:
What can you do with old\small clothes?
Answers may vary

Are scented products and candles a source for pollution?
Yes, Scented candles, incense, and air fresheners release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and ultra-fine particles, which can actually decrease indoor air quality rather than improve it.

Why is water important to us?
We need water because it's essential for every bodily function, making up about 60% of our body weight, helping to regulate temperature, carry nutrients, lubricate joints, flush waste (sweat, urine, and bowel movements.) And enabling cells, tissues, and organs to work properly, with dehydration leading to fatigue and serious health issues.
we also use water for things like cooking, cleaning, transportation and a bunch of other things.

Why do we have ecosystems?
Ecosystems function to recycle nutrients, regulate climate, purify air and water, and provide habitat, food, and resources for survival.
400
What causes climate change?
human activities that release heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, predominantly by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) for energy
400
Why are water systems important?
Water systems are essential for survival, public health, and economic stability

What is an ecosystem?
"An ecosystem is a community of living things(plants, animals, microbes) who interact with each other and non living things (sunlight, soil, water, and air,) in a specific area. basically a bubble of life."

What is climate change?
long-term changes in temperatures and weather patterns, most commonly driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

What is a water system?
A water system is an engineered infrastructure that collects, treats, stores, and distributes potable water to consumers (residential, commercial, or industrial). It consists of water sources (rivers, lakes, aquifers), treatment plants, storage facilities (towers, reservoirs), and a network of pipes and pumps.

How does clothing effect our environment?
The clothing industry significantly impacts the environment, contributing 8–10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of industrial water pollution. It causes immense water consumption, substantial waste via landfills, and pollution through microplastics and toxic chemicals. Key drivers are rapid production, synthetic materials like polyester, and intensive dyeing processes.

What is pollution?
Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials (pollutants) or energy into the natural environment, contaminating air, water, and land. commonly caused by human activities like industry, transportation, and waste disposal, it negatively impacts ecosystems, human health, and wildlife. Common forms include air, water, land, noise, and light pollution.
