1. What are the five steps used to solve an environmental problem?
Solving environmental problems is a very important topic that should concern the entire world. I try to do my part in minimizing my ecological footprint. Living in a highly developed county, we are responsible for plenty of the damage done on Earth. In order to solve an environmental problem various steps need to be followed. The first step in solving an environmental problem is to define the problem and construct a hypothesis. Scientists then define how the problem developed and the future of the problem. Then the effect of problem is then analyzed. This is referred to as the risk analysis. The public is then informed of the damage in hope of gaining support and changing attitudes. Elected officials then constitute a course of action. Then the results are closely examined in order to determine if the course of action is yielding prominent results.
2. What is Environmental science and what are some of the disciplines involved with the science?
Environmental science combines many fields. Some of the fields included are biology, geography, chemistry, geology, physics, agriculture, law, politics, and ethics.
3. What is food insecurity?
Food insecurity is serious condition in which people live with “chronic hunger.” These conditions cause dangerous malnutrition.
4. How is stabilizing climate related to energy use?
The enhanced green house effect is a human induced problem that is affecting our Earth. People all over the world are increasing the levels of CO2 in our atmosphere. CO2 is produced when we burn fossil fuels. The burning of these fuels is causing the climate on the Earth to change. The global temperature has increased about 1 degree. Scientists believe the climate will continue to change. Because the climate is getting warmer, we look for ways to maintain the same conditions our bodies are used to. Even though one degree may seem insignificant, humans are using
