- Solar refers to anything related to the sun. It commonly refers to energy derived from sunlight, such as solar power or solar panels used to generate electricity.
- Emissions are the release of gases, particles, or other substances into the atmosphere, usually as a result of human activities such as burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, or transportation.
- Ozone is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (O3) found in the Earth's atmosphere, particularly in the ozone layer, which absorbs most of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ground-level ozone, however, is a pollutant and a component of smog, formed by chemical reactions between air pollutants emitted from vehicles, industrial facilities, and other sources.
- The environment refers to the sum of all external conditions and influences affecting the life and development of an organism or group of organisms. It includes both biotic factors (living organisms) and abiotic factors (non-living elements such as air, water, and soil).
- Renewable refers to energy sources that are naturally replenished over time and can be used indefinitely, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and biomass energy. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and non-renewable, renewable energy sources are sustainable and environmentally friendly.

- A landfill is a designated area of land where waste is disposed of by burying it under layers of soil or other materials. Landfills are a common method of waste management but can have negative environmental impacts if not managed properly.
- To conserve means to protect and preserve natural resources, such as water, forests, wildlife, and energy, by using them wisely and efficiently to ensure their availability for future generations.
- Extinct refers to a species that no longer exists anywhere in the world. Extinction occurs when all members of a species have died out, often due to environmental changes, habitat destruction, or human activities.
- Compost refers to organic matter that has decomposed and transformed into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. It is typically made from kitchen scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials through a process called composting.
- To pollute means to contaminate or make impure, especially by introducing harmful or toxic substances into the environment, air, water, or soil, thereby causing damage to ecosystems and endangering human health.
- A habitat is the natural environment or home of a particular species, providing the necessary resources and conditions for its survival and reproduction. Habitats can range from forests and grasslands to rivers and oceans.
