2. The Aim is to draw your attention to the eco problems and their consequences for us

Our Tasks are
• to look into everyday life to discover what harm a
man brings to nature during his day
• to suggest how to help nature

My Day
What do I do?

The Conclusion of the Research

Global Problems: Environment
Air pollution
There are a lot of cars in cities and they
pollute the air. When cars burn gasoline,
invisible gases get to the air. Some of
these gases can mix with water and
make it acidic. Sometimes the gases
get into rain clouds, where they mix
with rain or snow. Then the acid falls
back to earth with the rain or snow.
This is called acid rain. Acid rain is
harmful to plants, rivers and lakes,
forests. Acid rain pollutes the water that
animals and people need to drink.

9.

Global Problems: Environment
All over the world the forests
are disappearing.
People cut the trees because
they need wood and
paper or new places for
farms and houses.
Animals have no place
to live and they begin to
disappear forever. Even
if new trees are planted, it takes
many years for them to grow.

10.

Global Problems: Environment
Water pollution
Seas and oceans cover about 70%
of the surface of the Earth.
It is a great amount of water
and it seems that there
is no need to worry about it.
However only 3% of the
Earth’s water is fresh drinking
water. Even now 1/3
of Earth population lack fresh
water. That is why we
should take care of all the rivers
and lakes we have.
I’m sure it is not too late now to
improve the situation.

11.

Global Problems: Environment
Why throw away so much?
Every ton
of recycled paper
saves 17 trees.
It is known that in one year, a European
family with two children throws
away about 50 kilos of paper
(that’s six trees), and about 60 kilos
of plastic. Now there is so much
litter that in many places there is not
enough room to bury it all.
But we don’t have to throw away all
our waste paper, glass, metal and
plastic. We can also burn or recycle
a lot of it. In fact it’s possible to
recycle 80% of domestic rubbish.
But only 4% of recyclable material
is actually recycled. Recycling is
expensive. But it saves trees and
energy and protects the
environment from pollution.

12.

Global Problems: Environment
Packaging
Most of the products nowadays
are packed. Some of this
“packaging” is necessary.
It keeps food clean and fresh.
But some packaging
is not necessary.
It’s just to make the food
look better and it not
only raises the price but
also enlarges the pollution.

13.

Global Problems: Environment
The hole
in the ozone layer
We must stop using aerosols,
such as hairspray
and spray deodorants.
The ozone layer
is very important,
as it filters the light
from the sun.
If we didn’t have
the ozone layer,
the sun’s light would be
too dangerous for us.

14.

Water turns the turbines
of hydroelectric plants
that produce electricity
for light, heat, and power
for many factories
Although hydroelectric
stations are less
harmful for environment
than nuclear and combined
heat and power station,
it makes harm to the
ecology of the river.
Global Problems: Environment
Don’t stand with the fridge
door open while you wonder
what to eat – make mind up
before you open the door.
The fridge warms up when
the door is open and it takes
extra energy to make it
cold again.
People should save energy

15.

Global Problems: Environment
Noise Pollution
Ordinary conversation
- 40 decibels at a distance of a few feet.
Traffic at a busy intersection produces
- 75 decibels
a clap of thunder
- 100 decibels.
a rock music concert
- more than 130 decibels
A sound at or above
the 120-decibel level
is painful and can injure the ear.
Noise pollution is becoming an
unpleasant fact of life in cities.

16.

The Conclusion of the Research
My hypothesis is not right.
Little things can have an impact on a global scale.
The influence of people
on nature is great
It’s people’s fault in many
ecological problems.
We should be more
careful to our planet.
Try to live in a way
that will save the world
rather then destroy it!
If everyone tries to help,
we could make our world
a better place.

What Can We Do to Save the Earth?
It’s up to me and you!
Can you understand
What we have to do?
There’s only one world,
It’s up to me and you!
Brush your teeth, but turn off the tap,
Take a shower, don’t have a bath,
Walk or ride your bike to school,
Recycle paper, that’s the rule.
Can you understand
What we have to do?
There’s not much time,
It’s up to me and you!
Unplug the TV, switch off the lights,
Go out with friends, don’t surf all night,
Give old clothes to charity,
Can you understand Join a green group, plant a tree.
What we have to do?
There’s only one world,
It’s up to me and you!
