Environmental Issues - Mind Map

Environmental Issues

Deforestation

Loss of habitat for species

Can cause soil erosion

The plants
won't be able to
grow properly

Herbivores will
not have enough
food

May die from
stravation

Can cause the
extinction of the animals

They will be
vulnerable to
predators

Water Pollution

Disrupts marine life

Marine species can take in
the toxins and get sick or die
or poison other animals

For example, oil spills
can destroy marine animal's
ability to repel water

Wast & pollution is contaminatinf
Earth's most crucial environment

People who are poor
have to drink this water

They can get severely sick
and die, especially those who
can't afford medicine

All species need water
to survive

Waste Production

Increases hazards
of explosions

Can destroy small villages and
towns near lake shores and
the seaside

The burning contributes
to global warming

Releases a lot of
methane into the air

Methane is very
harmful to the body

Traps heat into
the atomosphere

Makes the
atmosphere warmer

GMOs

Farmers can overuse
chemicals like herbicides

The chemicals can
leak into the soil

It can be harmful
to the plants and
animals that live in the soil

Animals that eat these
can also get poisoned
and can die

A large number
in deaths can result
in a reduction of
the species

For example,
there have
been many news
of reduction in
Monarch butterflies

A lot of the
waste produced
goes into the
water through
runoffs and
pipes

Deforestation
can decrease
the water quality
because of soil
erosions & runoffs

A lot of
experimented
food is thrown
away to be
burned

Some chemicals
that farmers use
(herbicides) may
leak into the water
and contaminate it

Chemicals that
leak into the
soil can cause
the death of
plants such as trees

One solution is to reduce the
consumption of single-use
products
Another solution is to amplify
the voice of the Indigenous peoples
who are calling out for help

One solution is to use more
ozone generators to break down
the pollutants in water sources
Another solution is to install more
septic tanks to treat water sewage
(separates liquids from solids)

One solution is to purchase
only organic foods so that
GMOs come less
Another solution is to pick
foods that have the Non-GMO
project seal so we can support
then and not GMO companies

One solution is to buy products that come
with less packaging & are recyclable
Another solution is to compost foods such
as fruit & veggie scraps, egg shells, coffee
grounds, grass clippings, leaves, and
leftover food
