The Environment
• Living & nonliving
• Sum total of surroundings
• Explore interaction between
humans & world around us
![Page 7: AP Environmental Science Test - Wikispaces1+PPT.pdf/... · questions (FRQ) •3 types –Data ... •Land & Water Use •Energy Resources & Consumption](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042801/5b01b93c7f8b9a54578e98ea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Environmental Science
• How Earth works
– How we interact with Earth
– How we deal with environmental
problems
• Interdisciplinary
– Chemistry
– Geology
– Biology
– Economics
– Politics & public policy

Sustainability
• A society in balance with natural
world
– No resource depletion
– Not exceeding sustainable yields
– Not producing pollutants in excess of
nature’s capacity to absorb them

Factors to Consider
• Human Population
– 6.7 billion +
– Annual growth rate of 1.2%
– 84 million people added in a single
year
• India 1.4%; Europe 0.7%; US 0.6%
• Correlation between poverty & growth

• Resources
– Food, water, shelter, metals, oil
– Renewable, nonrenewable, perpetual
• Eco-footprint
– Biologically productive land & water
needed to supply an area with
resources
– Capability of absorbing wastes
– US, Europe, China, India & Japan use
74% of Earth’s eco-capacity

– US, Europe, China & India have
footprints 2x as large as their
capacity
– Japan’s footprint is 5x its capacity
– At this rate of consumption
• Will take 1.39 Earths to support our
current production & consumption

• Pollution
– Chemicals in air, water, soil
– Natural
– Human activities
– Prevention & clean-up
• Environmental Problems
– Shrinking forests
– Degradation of soils
– Falling water tables
– Warming atmosphere
– Oceans over fished
– Amt of pollution is rising
