CLEAN ENERGY (SDG 7)
Name one renewable energy source
Wind / Solar / Water
What gas increases when we burn fossil fuels?
Carbon dioxide
What should we NOT throw into the ocean?
Plastic/ waste
What do trees give us?
Oxygen
Why is clean energy better?
Less pollution
Name one action to reduce climate change
Various answers. For example: Use less plastic / save energy
Name one sea animal
Various answers: fish, dolphin, sea turtle...
What is deforestation?
Cutting down trees
What do wind turbines use to make energy?
Wind
What happens when Earth gets too warm?
Global Warming/ Glasshouse Effect
Why is plastic dangerous in oceans?
Hurts animals
Name one animal that needs forests?
Tiger / monkey / bird....
Name a device that uses solar power?
Solar lights / Solar-powered cars/ Solar traffic signs and street lights/ Solar garden lights/ Solar water heaters
What energy comes from the sun?
Solar energy
What can we do to protect oceans?
3Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle
How can we protect nature?
Plant trees / don’t litter
Compare renewable and non-renewable energy.
Renewable energy: comes from natural sources that do not run out (sun, wind, water)
Non-renewable energy: comes from fossil fuels that will run out (coal, oil, gas)
Switching is important because renewable energy reduces pollution and helps protect the Earth for the future
What actions can individuals AND governments take to slow down climate change?
Individuals: Save energy, use public transport, reduce waste, recycle, plant trees
Governments: Use renewable energy policies, reduce carbon emissions, protect forests, invest in clean technology
How does human activity on land affect ocean life?
Waste and pollution from land can travel through rivers into the ocean
Example: Plastic litter can harm or kill sea animals like turtles and fish
Chemicals from farming can pollute water and damage marine ecosystems
What would happen if forests disappeared?
Animals would lose their habitats and food sources
Biodiversity would decrease (fewer plants and animals)
Humans would have less oxygen and more carbon dioxide in the air
It would contribute to climate change and soil erosion
