Introduction
An environmental impact is defined as any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, resulting from a facility’s activities, products, or services. But we are going to talk about negatives consequences.
- Environmental impacts of paper.
- Environmental impacts of plastic.
- Environmental impacts of batteries.
- Environmental impacts of energy consumption.
Task
-Environmental impacts of paper
Questions:
- How is paper produced?
- How many acres of forest are destroyed annually?
- What can we do to reduce paper impacts?
-Environmental impacts of plastic
Questions:
- What percentage of plastics are not recycled?
- What percentage of plastics cause climate change?
- How many plastic bags and bottles are sold in a minute?
- What do you think of being consuming plastic? (Plastic found in water and fishes)
-Environmental impacts of batteries
Questions:
- How many square metes of land is able to pollute an AA battery?
- How many litres of water is able to pollute an AA battery?
- How can we start solving this problema?
-Environmental impacts of energy consumption.
Questions:
- What affects air pollution?
- What causes acid rain, and what effects does it have?
- What is smog, and what does it produce?

Evaluation
| V | F | |
|---|---|---|
| 60 % of cut timber is for paper. | ||
| The number of acres that are destroyed anually is larger tan the área of chile. | ||
| Offices use 121 billion sheets of paper a year. |
| V | F | |
|---|---|---|
| 91% of plastics are recycled. | ||
| We are eating drinking and breathing plastic. | ||
| Half of the world's plastic comes from Asia. |
| V | F | |
|---|---|---|
| One double-A is able to pollute around 20 square kilometres of land. | ||
| Every year about 2000 million double-A batteries are sold in the UK. | ||
| To make a big change, we have to make more people aware of the problem. |
| V | F | |
|---|---|---|
|
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc aren't air pollutants. |
||
| Greenhouse effect is caused due to increased amount of oxygen. | ||
| Smog is the particles of carbon dioxide in the air. |
- What is the percentage of not recycled plastic ?
- From were comes half of the world’s plastic?
- What solutions do the videos propose?
- What do you know about rechargeable batteries?
Conclusion
In conclusion, environmental change is more serious than we think and it’s something we have to be responsible of it.
With our webquest we aim ríase awarness of the true effects of pollution, and from now, we expect you to recycle, reduce your consumption and be more aware of the products you use.
