Let's solve the worksheet titled
"What's Bad for the Environment?" step by step.
Task:
Cross (X) the things that
harm our environment.
We need to identify which of the six images show actions or situations that are harmful to the environment. Let’s analyze each one:
---
1. A boy eating a popsicle and dropping the wrapper on the ground
- The boy is littering.
- Littering pollutes the environment and can harm animals and plants.
✔ This harms the environment.
➡️
Cross (X) this box.
---
2. A person cutting down a tree with an axe
- Cutting down trees (deforestation) destroys habitats, reduces oxygen production, and increases carbon dioxide levels.
✔ This harms the environment.
➡️
Cross (X) this box.
---
3. A car emitting smoke from its exhaust
- Car emissions release harmful gases like carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the air.
- This contributes to air pollution and climate change.
✔ This harms the environment.
➡️
Cross (X) this box.
---
4. Two children putting trash into a bin
- They are disposing of waste properly.
- This helps keep the environment clean and supports recycling efforts.
✘ This does NOT harm the environment.
➡️
Do NOT cross (X) this box.
---
5. A girl planting a tree
- Planting trees helps clean the air, prevent soil erosion, and support biodiversity.
✘ This is good for the environment.
➡️
Do NOT cross (X) this box.
---
6. A polluted beach with trash and garbage
- Plastic and waste in the ocean harm marine life and ecosystems.
- Pollution of water bodies is a major environmental problem.
✔ This harms the environment.
➡️
Cross (X) this box.
---
✔ Final Answer:
You should
cross (X) the boxes next to:
-
1 (Littering)
-
2 (Cutting down a tree)
-
3 (Car pollution)
-
6 (Polluted beach)
---
✘ Do not cross:
-
4 (Proper waste disposal)
-
5 (Planting a tree)
---
Summary:
Harmful to the environment:
✔ 1, 2, 3, 6
Not harmful (good):
✖ 4, 5
---
✔ Correctly crossed boxes: 1, 2, 3, 6
