Producing electricity with fossil fuels as the main source of energy releases a large amount of pollutant into the atmosphere and we must therefore save electricity to reduce our contribution to air pollution.

There is no other way to produce electricity, fossil fuels have to be used and this causes excessive amounts of air pollution therefore we should use as little electricity as possible.

Electricity is extremely valuable and if we do not save it our country will have nothing to sell.

Electricity is not that important for the South African economy or citizens well-being so we should use less of it.

They are gases that are capable of absorbing short wave radiation from the sun and then re-radiating it as long wave radiation.

They are gases that appear green when seen in the atmosphere.

They are the gases that are essential for the proper functioning of a greenhouse.

Gases that are only found inside a greenhouse.

True

False

These particles are found only in soil and ground water sources.

These particles are not harmful to a humans health.

These particles are described as a mixture of solid and liquid droplets found in the atmosphere.

These particles occur in only one size.

Livestock are territorial and do not let other animals occupy the areas they live in, this means that biodiversity decreases.

Livestock have bacteria in their digestive systems that release methane, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.

Livestock release ozone, a criteria pollutant into the atmosphere.

Livestock farming is responsible for the release of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

True

False

Wind turbines release criteria pollutants into the atmosphere.

Wind turbines affect rain and weather patterns.

Wind turbines require large amounts of space (big pieces of land) and this can sometimes result in trees and vegetation being removed so that wind farms can be constructed, this also has a negative impact on biodiversity as animals habitats are ruined.

Wind turbines make a lot of noise and this scares animals away.
