• Not only Sentimental• Environment affects everyone on the planet• Some of the things the environment affects:– Animal and Plant Biodiversity– The Study of Biology and Zoology– Tourism– Food– Economy

• Study

• Environment – major constituent of the ecosystem concerning the non-living

• Environment Ecosystem Biodiversity– E.g. Global warming affects survival of animals by

decreasing it• Reduction of biodiversity leads to:– Less tourism– Reduction in economy– Study on animals reduced

• Cause and Effect• Example encapsulated in Jared Diamond’s

thesis-book, “Collapse”– Removal of trees can cause change in a micro-

environment in a river, a change that is a negative effect

– This idea must be recognised, as it affects food sources

– Economy also affected

• Efficiency• Example:– Recycling: pulping used paper instead of cutting

down trees and pulping to make new paper

• Conservation by Progression

• It affects you, me and everyone• Conservation by Progression• Everyone must contribute to the balance of

the environment and hence the continuation of the human race!

• Biochar Experiment:– Facilitated by Plant and Food– Biochar – a form of C containment– Checking its effect on growth of white clover at

different treatments

• Member of the School’s Environment Group– Group concerned about recycling of paper and
