Question

Explain four changes you could make in order to reduce your contribution to this degradation;

1. Pollution from transportation and industry : it is the main cause of destruction of bioms because millions of metric tons of pollution pumped into the atmosphere every year

2. Unsustainable water: Ocean acidification is caused when CO? dissolves into the ocean bonding with sea water creating carbonic acid. The acid reduces the pH levels in the water, essentially changing the Ocean acidity by 30% in the last 200 years according to analysis.

3. Habitat destruction from development and agriculture: An increased population results in more clear-cutting, resulting in severely damaged ecosystems. Without enough trees to filter the air, CO? levels increase which carries the potential to damage every single organism on Earth.

c)- By reusing the water in the industries . Reuse of water in the industries can help recycle the waste water generate to reuse it without being seeped into the water bodies.

d)- Proper planning and mitigation process can help reduce problrms like ocean acidification.

3)-

a)- By volunteering to create awarenessfor sustainable use of natural resources. Creating awareness can change an individual mindset and protect the nature to own's free will.
