any source of dangerous damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or human
activity or condition
vulnerability
First aid 3p’s
PRESERVE :the importance of preserving life
PREVENT:preventing deterioration
PROMOTE :promoting recovery
is to reduce risks to the environment from contaminants such as hazardous
materials and wastes, fuels, and oils
Environmental Protection
usually seen as a result of global warming
Climate change
2 Identified ways in managing global climate change
- moderation or postponement of global climate change through measures that reduce
greenhouse gases emission.
Mitigation
the movement of materials and human beings from one place to another.
*It could be carried out by several ways, it could be by land or by water. Fossil fuels are usually used to
run the automobiles
Impacts of Transportation on the
Environment
, a layer of gasses surrounding our planet.
Nitrogen and oxygen account for 99 percent of the gasses in dry air, with argon, carbon dioxide, helium,
neon, and other gasses making up minute portions.
Water vapor and dust are also part of Earth’s
Atmosphere
- is done to extract minerals or fossil fuels from deep deposits in the soil by subsurface mining.
Impacts of Mining on the Environment
any source of dangerous damage, harm or adverse health effects on something or human
activity or condition
Hazard
- The continuous growth of population lead to environmental degradation as greater population means
more consumption of food, water, energy and raw materials
Impacts of Population and Consumption the Environment
praeambulus which means “walking before.” And that’s what a preamble does — it “walks”
before a speech, often explaining what’s coming
Preamble
2 Identified ways in managing global climate change
planned response to changes caused by global climate change
Adaptation -
is to reduce risks to the environment from contaminants such as hazardous
materials and wastes, fuels, and oils.
Environmental Protection
It is the available and potential resources and strengths that may help to reduce the level of risk or effects
of disaster
capacity
is being aware of the state of the environment. The environment refers to all
parts of nature, living and nonLiving
climate change
Global warming
water scarcity
Droughts
pollution
Environmental awareness
refers to the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes and the machinery
and devices developed as a resit.
Impacts of Technology on the Environment
Technology’s

TYPHOON
- It refers to organized efforts to teach about. how the natural environment functions and, particularly,
how human beings can manage their behavior and ecosystems in order to live sustainably.
Environmental Education
3 main issues that affect environmental managers
Politics
Programs
Resources
According to Berg, et al, human species is the most
signiticant agent of cavironmental change on carth, howerc,
our intellectual capacity has made it possible to explore our environment. to made changes on our
environment.
Human Impacts on the Environment
is the sum total of water, air, animals, human beings and other living organisms lives
Environment
is defined as an attempt to control human impact on and interaction with
the environment to preserve natural resources
Environmental Management
defined as the warming of the earth’s lower atmosphere because of increases in the
concentrations of one or more greenhouse gasses primarily as a result of one or more changes in any
aspects of the earth’s including temperature, precipitation and storm activity
Global warming
- The traditional agricultural practice, slash and burn and shifting agriculture has led to deforestation and
decline in land quality.Modern agriculture practices resulted to greater environmental degradation.
