Ozone hole • caused by dangerous gases used in sprays • ozone protects the Earth and life on it radioactive gamma sunrays Ozone depletion - decline of ozone in Earth´s stratosphere → global warming
Acid rains • caused by air pollution • gases in air mix with water steam in the atmosphere and create nitrid acid • then rains down to Earth and pollutes water, soil, plants
Over-population • link between population growth and environmental problems? • reduce population growth? • average life expectancy? • carbon footprint?
