Greens and Carbons
Greenhouse effect causes ?
The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in Earth’s temperature and contributing to climate change.
What can you do to reduce your ecological footprint ?
To reduce your ecological footprint, you can start by using public transportation, biking, or walking instead of driving, which helps lower greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, conserving energy at home by turning off lights when not in use and reducing water consumption can significantly lessen your impact on the environment.
Greenhouse effect consequences ?
The greenhouse effect leads to global warming, which causes rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities and disrupt ecosystems.
Explain How homes are heated ?
Most of Canada Homes use forced air furnaces for heat they are powered by propane,natural gas or electricity
Greenhouse Effect potential solutions
To effectively tackle the greenhouse effect, we should prioritize transitioning to renewable energy sources like solar and wind, which can drastically cut down carbon emissions. Additionally, enhancing energy efficiency in our daily lives, such as using energy-efficient appliances and public transportation, can significantly reduce our overall carbon footprint.
Explain the trans Canada pipeline ?
The Trans Canada Pipeline is a major network of pipelines that transports natural gas across Canada from Alberta also including the United States.
Define Ecological Footprint ?
The amount of space that is required to support a person’s activities
The Ecological Footprint measures…
The amount of nature’s resources we consume in a given year
The ecological impact of a person’s activities on the Earth
Represents how much land and water is needed to support a person and dispose of their waste
Explain Carbon Footprint ?
CARBON FOOTPRINT which measures the total amount of greenhouse gas that is generated by our actions
