Answer 1

Ответ:

1.The first thing that i think of is, of course, factories.

2.My personal opinion is that individual people are just using the things goverment and higher levels of hierarchy gives them. For example gas, cars, cigaretts. So, I am certain that goverment is involved more, which means itsmore responsible.

3.If you think logically, as an individual all you can do to massivly prevent it is to stand out on a tv show or something that targets the public. As an individual if you reduce your Co2 emissions, it will be just a tiny reduction of all the gas being emitted in the air. If you think theoretically into the future, say, I might become a preident of some kind and everybody would listen to me, I would, infact, reduce my emissions by using electric powered cars, becoming vegetarian or I might aswell stand out in public.  

4. I think, electricity is a good source. Not only it doesn't emit anything, it's also a widely spreaded source of energy. But, it has one flaw. It can malfunction. Andthat can cause problems. Like when in 1859 there was a solar storm, if it had happened today, all the electricity would go out and we might get thrown back in millenia, going back to being primitive. So, i'd rather use the more primitive solar panels, than going back in to the 1859.

It's more stable as a source of energy, also it is somewhat developed, so it's not a science fiction, plus it doesn't emit anything.

Card 2.

1. Plastic, glass, paper. Plastic turns into organic version of itself that can decompose, glass shards are melted into all kinds of stuff, and paper turns into, well, paper.  

2. Насчет твоего я не знаю. Если что спалят если скажу неправильно

3.Recycling, cleaning up garbage.

4.Yes. I mean, global warming also would've came naturally, but polution sped up the process. You see, there is a thing called greenhouse effect. It's when sunlight enters the earths' atmosphere, but can't leave 'cause of the gasses. So it gets trapped, and slowly but surely, we have a burning planet.

card 5.

1. It's a change in the temperature of the earth, mainly happening because of the greenhouse effect, which is formed by greenhouse gas(Co2). Sunrays get trapped and cant leave cause of the gas. That means warming and potential risk.

2. You breath, emitting c02, you ride in a car emitting c02, you eat meat that was made by cows emitting C02.

3.Going vegan, being a member of protests(passive ones), planting more autotrophic plants like trees, using bikes.

4.Ice from the poles with melt, which causes water level to rise. Trees will burn, leaving no wood on the planet and alot of deaths. Plants die, killing all the agronomics, people cant breath, resulting in deaths. after all of this our planet would become the second mars.

Answer 2

1. When I hear the word 'pollution', the first thing that comes to mind is the contamination of the environment, whether it be air, water, or land, by harmful substances or pollutants. I also think about the negative impact pollution has on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health.

2. Both individual people and the government are responsible for pollution, but in different ways. Individual people contribute to pollution through their daily activities, such as driving cars, using plastic products, or not properly disposing of waste. On the other hand, the government is responsible for creating and enforcing regulations and policies to protect the environment and reduce pollution. They also have the power to promote sustainable practices and invest in clean technologies.

3. As an individual, there are several things I can do to prevent pollution. I can reduce my carbon footprint by using public transportation, cycling, or walking instead of driving. I can also conserve energy by turning off lights and appliances when not in use and using energy-efficient products. Recycling and properly disposing of waste is another important step in preventing pollution. Additionally, supporting and advocating for environmental initiatives and organizations can make a difference.

4. If I could choose one alternative energy source to develop, I would choose solar energy. Solar energy is renewable, abundant, and does not produce greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants. It has the potential to provide clean and sustainable energy for various purposes, from powering homes and businesses to charging electric vehicles. Investing in solar energy can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate the negative effects of climate change
