ENVIRONMENTAL

PROBLEMS

ALL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO ONE OF THREE CATEGORIES.

1. LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY

Is our planet diverse?

DEFORESTATION

Unbelievably, more than 200,000 acres of rainforest are burned every day. That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely threatened as the destruction continues.

2. DEPLETION OF RENEWABLE AND NONRENWABLE RESOURCES

3. POLLUTION

• Air / Land
