ways to protect the planet
- 00:08 - 00:09
and to spread the word.
- 00:10 - 00:13
Some issues and the environment or pollution.
- 00:13 - 00:17
Global warming, loss of biology and deforestation.
- 00:18 - 00:20
An overview of the issue.
- 00:20 - 00:22
Pollution, which is air,
- 00:22 - 00:25
water and soil caused by toxins such as plastic
- 00:25 - 00:29
and heavy metals caused by factors such as toxins
- 00:30 - 00:35
and gasses released by factories, combustion and fossil fuels and rain,
- 00:35 - 00:36
oil spills and industrial waste.
- 00:37 - 00:41
Global warming The emission of greenhouse gasses due to human activity
- 00:42 - 00:43
causes global warming,
- 00:43 - 00:46
which in turn causes an increase in temperature
- 00:46 - 00:50
that then leads to rising in sea levels,
- 00:50 - 00:53
melting polar ice caps and flash floods.
- 00:53 - 00:54
Deforestation,
- 00:54 - 00:56
which is loss of trees in order to
- 00:56 - 01:00
make space for residential industrial commercial projects,
- 01:00 - 01:01
means
- 01:01 - 01:04
that less oxygen is produced in temperature
- 01:04 - 01:06
and rain falls are affected.
- 01:07 - 01:07
Yeah,
- 01:07 - 01:08
the effect.
- 01:08 - 01:11
These big issues that are happening in the environment,
- 01:11 - 01:15
affecting the wildlife that live in the forest and even the ocean.
- 01:16 - 01:18
Facts of how this is happening.
- 01:18 - 01:25
Approximately 30,000 species per year about 3/h are being driven to extinction.
- 01:26 - 01:29
Approximately 80% of the decline and global
- 01:29 - 01:32
biological diversity is caused by habitat destruction.
- 01:33 - 01:36
The population of wildlife throughout the world decreased
- 01:36 - 01:41
in size by approximately 52% between 19.
- 00:00 - 00:00
.
- 01:42 - 01:45
The human population more than doubled in size during the period.
- 01:46 - 01:47
The solution.
- 01:48 - 01:50

- 02:07 - 02:12
Shop wisely by less plastic and bring reusable shopping packs
- 02:13 - 02:14
ways you can fix it.
