Multiple Choice

People will need fewer vitamins because they get more nutrients from their food.

How does Land Use affect the climate change
Deforestation: Cutting down trees for farming or building reduces the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by trees, contributing to climate change.
Agriculture: Farming releases greenhouse gases like methane from animals and nitrous oxide from fertilizers, which trap heat in the atmosphere.
Soil Degradation: Poor land use can damage soil, reducing its ability to store carbon, which leads to more carbon in the air.
Urbanization: Building cities and roads increases energy use and emissions, adding to climate change.
If we can monitor how we use land use we can slow climate change not stop it

Multiple Choice
In some cities, trash is collected and taken to large landfills where it is buried. Over time, these landfills can leak harmful chemicals into the soil and water, which can affect local communities and the environment. In 2022, a landfill near a small town began leaking toxic waste into the nearby river, which is used by the community for drinking water. The local government has been working to clean up the river, but the damage has already started affecting local wildlife and water quality. Should the way trash is managed be changed to prevent more pollution?
No, data has not been presented to indicate this is more than an isolated issue.
Yes, changes should be made in monitoring of these sites to prevent similar future events
from occurring.
No, there is no data to support requesting large sums of money from the responsible
companies to fund a cleanup.
Yes, changes should be made to release the holding water at scheduled times so that
leaks are not a surprise occurrence.
