Additional Flashcards
If you live in a city will your carbon footprint be higher?
Lower because of public transportation.
Industrial countries are more likely to eat
More Beef
Sustainable Yield
Amount of a natural resource that can be harvested without compromising its ability to regenerate or replenish itself over time.
Forest Burning gives off what gas
CO2
Forest fires produce
CO2
Standard of living is increasing
Leads to increase per capita land per consumption. More people want that lifestyle.
Advantages of Synthetic Fertilizer
Increases Yield and profits.
Quick Nutrients
Cheap
Improved Soil Fertility Control
Faster Plant Growth
Major Positive with Aquaculture
You don’t have to pay that much to feed them
Requires a small amount of water space, and fuel.
Reduces risk of Fishery collapse
Environmental problems with abandoned mines
Acid Mine Drainage
Contamination with Groundwater and Surface Water
Erosion
Loss of Biodiversity and Habitat destruction
Negatives of Aquaculture
High density of animals leads to high concentration of waste ( leads to e.coil are eutrophication risks.)
HIgh density increases disease risk. Which can be transmitted to wild populations as well.
May introduce non-native species or GMOS to local ecosystem if fish escape can lead to an invasive species.
FIsh are fed antibiotics which can contaminate water via their waste.
Sustainable Society what makes it sustainable
Environmental Sustainability, includes reducing waste, conserving water, and using renewable resources like solar, wind, and hydropower instead of fossil fuels.
Clearcutting causes what to occur
Soil Erosion
Increased Soil and Stream Temp
Flood and Landslides
Reduces air filerings and releases Co2.
Solution to flooding caused by urbanization
Permeable Pavement
Rain Garden
Public transit
Building Up, not out
Solution for Fish Population Declining
Catching Limits
Using Private Property
Fees or Taxes
Fines
Criminal charges
Restoring and protecting the habitat
GMOS decreasing _________ to pest and diseases
