8. The total amount of CO₂ emissions caused by an individual or group.
10. Harmful substances contaminating air, water, or soil.
11. Combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
12. The day when humanity has used more resources than the Earth can regenerate in a year.
15. An environmental disaster where excessive water usage caused one of the largest lakes in the world to dry up.
16. The principle of reducing, reusing, and recycling waste.
19. Gases like CO₂ and CH₄ that trap heat in Earth's atmosphere.
20. The destruction of ecosystems caused by urban expansion or agriculture.

2. Afarming activity that produces methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more powerful than CO₂.
3. Over 1 million species are at risk of extinction due to human activities, according to the IUCN report.
4. Excessive noise from traffic, factories, and construction affecting mental health and wildlife.
5. Small plastic particles that contaminate oceans and enter the food chain.
7. Artificial lighting disrupting nocturnal animals' migration and reproduction cycles.
9. a renewable energy source that was widely used before the Industrial Revolution alongside wind power.
13. Melting glaciers and polar ice caps leading to higher sea levels.
14. A large area of plastic waste floating in the ocean, twice the size of Texas.
17. Theprocess of cutting down trees, often leading to habitat destruction.
18. A farming practice that contaminates soil with pesticides and fertilizers, degrading fertile land.
