Water pollution Air pollution Noise pollution Light pollution Land pollution Greenhouse effect Environmental illness Radiation pollution Animal extinctions Plant extinctions Ozone depletion Hazardous waste buildups Garbage Defoliation Sea life loses Submerged aquatic vegetation loss Swamp loss due to drainage Deforestation Strip mine damage Virus emergence (Ebola) Soil erosion Land erosion Oil spills Acid rain Chemical leaching Algal blooms Eutrophication Lack of adequate space Devastation of countries like Somalia Sickly animals Forest loss Come back of diseases like tuberculosis, cancer, etc. Lower standard of living Environmental racism Crime Topsoil losses Bleaching of coral reefs Pesticides in the jungle Changing weather patterns Forest fires in Southeast Asia and in the State of Florida that are blanketing hundreds of square miles Increase in hurricane strength 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. Bio-invasions of exotic non-native species of plants, animals and microbes-Echizen jellyfish Estrogenic effects of pesticides Poverty caused by industries such as NIKE Cemeteries in America Politicians cause pollution Effects of air pollution Why asthma is on the rise Curitiba and Jamie Lerner; why it is famous Cubatao-Brazil; why it is famous Are solar cookers the answer to prevent deforestation in North Africa? Greed as a cause of pollution Do movies like Jaws contribute to extinction of animals? Can we build homes from used tires? Can we build homes out of straw? Dams – good or bad Politicians and environment How corruption causes pollution Poverty and pollution Affluence and pollution Consumerism Exporting garbage Chernobyl incident Bhopal Incident New disease outbreaks Acidification of the oceans Warfare and the environment http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/11/n ational-climate-assessment-globalwarming_n_2458905.html#slide=1833757 ECOSYSTEMS LIVING WITH THE NONLIVING BIOTIC FACTORS-PEOPLE, PLANTS, FUNGI,BACTERIA ETC.
