Answer:
1. Possible Effect: When debris—plastic bags, bottles, cigarette butts, etc—is thrown on the ground, it gets washed into storm drains and directly into our waterways. In addition to potentially choking, suffocating, or disabling aquatic life like ducks, fish, turtles, and birds, litter decreases oxygen levels in the water when it decays.
Possible Solution:
- Reduce Your Use of Single-Use Plastics
- Recycle Properly
- Participate In (or Organize) a Beach or River Cleanup
- Avoid Products Containing Microbeads
- Support Organizations Addressing Plastic Pollution
2. Possible Effect: Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature. This poses many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on Earth.
Possible Solutions:
- Use renewable energy. Emissions from Ontario’s electricity sector have fallen in the last 10 years, but creating your own renewable energy goes much further. You can do this by adding solar hot water or photoelectric panels to your roof, or investing in community solar or wind projects if you don’t have access to a roof. Adding solar panels reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and contributes to the move towards a fully renewable energy future.
3. Possible Effect: Motor vehicle emissions contribute to ambient levels of air toxics known or suspected as human or animal carcinogens. Exposures to air toxics can also cause noncancerous health effects, such as neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive and/or immune system damage
Possible Solutions:
- Go Eco Friendly by walking or Cycling
- Use Bikes often if you're travelling not too far
- Use Good quality Gas that are clean so that it wont produce dark smokes
