Everything that surrounds us — it includes both living things and non-living things.
It provides us with the things we need to survive.

Shelter
Example of human activities that often disturb the natural balance of the environment (3).
- Cutting down trees can destroy animal habitats.
- Burning fuel releases smoke that pollutes the air.
- Throwing waste into rivers harms aquatic life.
Using natural resources wisely and responsibly so that future generations can also meet their needs.
It is like borrowing resources from the future —
we must return them in good condition.
Sustainability
Examples of sustainability.
- Reuse or recycle plastic bottles instead of throwing them away.
- Save energy by turning off lights when not in use.
- Plant trees to replace those that were cut down.
Provides knowledge and technology that help us take care of the planet.
Scientific
Examples of scientific fields or innovations.
- Renewable Energy (Solar, Wind, Hydro)
- Waste Recycling and Composting
- Water Filtration Systems
- Eco-Friendly Building Designs
- Sustainable Agriculture
Replaces fossil fuels like coal and oil, reducing air pollution and carbon emissions.
Renewable Energy (Solar, Wind, Hydro)
Turns garbage into new materials or fertilizer, reducing waste that goes to landfills.
Waste Recycling and Composting
Cleans dirty or contaminated water, providing safe drinking water and preventing diseases.
Water Filtration Systems
Uses natural light, ventilation, and energy-
efficient materials to reduce power use.
Eco-Friendly Building Designs
Uses natural fertilizers and organic
farming to maintain healthy soil and
prevent ecosystem damage.
Sustainable Agriculture
4 Human impacts to the environment that causes damage and threatens ecosystem.
- Pollution
2 Deforestation - Overconsumption of resources
- Improper waste disposal
Happens when harmful materials enter the environment and cause damage.
Pollution
3 Types of pollution.
- Air pollution
- Water pollution
- Land pollution
Smoke from vehicles, factories, and burning trash that makes the air dirty.
Air Pollution
Throwing garbage or chemicals into rivers and oceans that kills fish and affects water supply.
Water Pollution
Improper waste disposal and excessive use of plastic bags that destroy soil quality and natural habitats.
Land Pollution
Cutting down large areas of trees without replanting them.
Deforestation
What does deforestation cause? (3)
- Soil erosion
- Flooding
- Loss of biodiversity
Happens when we use more resources than the Earth can replace.
This includes wasting electricity, overusing water, and excessive mining or fishing.
Overconsumption of Resources
Throwing garbage anywhere that leads to clogged waterways, foul smells, and breeding grounds for pests and diseases.
Improper Waste Disposal
