A) GLOBAL WARMING
QUESTION - The world is coming together to
prevent global warming. There are a number of
efforts being made by various non-government
organizations in this direction. Write down any two
names of such organizations and the action plan
put forth by them.
Many organizations are there to prevent global
warming. Two of them are:
 Earth Justice
 NOAA Education - Climate Change and Our
Planet. ...

Action plan put forth by them👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Ans: 1} Earth Justice
Earthjustice’s work is divided into three key goal
areas:
 The Wild – focuses on cases in The

Arctic to preserve the ecosystem from

climate change and fossil fuel drilling; in
the ocean ecosystem to protect from
overfishing, pollution, and habitat loss;
  Healthy Communities – focuses on cases
at the regional and national level that
protect against pollution and toxic
chemicals.
 Clean Energy and a Stable Climate –
focuses on cases that reduce the
utilization of fossil fuels, eliminate barriers
to and create incentives for the use of
renewable energy sources, and cases that
promote ecological resiliency to withstand
warming global temperatures.

 2) NOAA Education - Climate Change and Our

Planet. ...
The two conventional responses are
mitigation-preventing as much additional
warming as possible by reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
adaptation -adjusting society to
compensate for unavoidable warming.

B. GARBAGE DISPOSAL
 a. Collect information about the kind of waste
produced in your house daily and how it is disposed
off.
Kinds of waste
(i)Vegetable and fruit peels and rind, stale food,
food leftovers, used tea leaves.
(ii) Milk pouches, polythene bags, empty cartons.

(ii) Recyclable wastes such as waste paper, cloth,
plastic bags, cartons, bottles, cans, etc.
(iii) Preparation of compost or vermicompost from
kitchen wastes for home garden.

b.Find out who collects it and what happens to it

thereafter, problems faced at each step and suggest
ways to tackle it.

Ans: A waste collector is a person employed by a
public or private enterprise to collect and
dispose of municipal solid waste
and recyclables from residential, commercial,
industrial or other collection sites for further
processing.

problems faced at each step

 Soil Contamination. ...

 Water Contamination. ...

 Extreme Weather Caused by Climate

Change. ...
 Air Contamination. ...

 Harm Towards Animal and Marine Life. ...

 Human Damage.

 Production of too much waste.

 Most of the waste is toxic.

 Landfills are a problem as well.

ways to tackle it
The only way to battle this problem is by
reducing the amount of waste that we
produce. Start by composting your
food waste or garden waste instead of
dumping it. If composting sounds like too
much work, send your organic waste to a
recycling facility instead of dumping it in
landfills.
