Sulphur, falling as acid rain, is killing fish in the Great Lakes.

Air pollution

Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulates, biological materials, or other harmful materials into the Earth's atmosphere.

Industrial pollutants are constantly released into the air.

Alternative energy

Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. This is energy from uncommon sources such as wind power or solar energy.

There are numerous organizations within the academic, federal, and commercial sectors conducting large scale advanced research in the field of alternative energy.

Alternative fuels

Alternative fuels known as non-conventional or advanced fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as fuels, other than conventional fuels.

Methanol and ethanol fuel can be used in internal combustion engines as alternative fuels.

Biodegradable

Biodegradable Able to be broken down into simpler substances.

All active ingredients of this soap powder are 98% biodegradable within three days.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life. This can refer to genetic variation, species variation, or ecosystem variation

with in an area, biome, or planet.

The mining project threatens one of the world's richest areas of biodiversity.

Biosphere

Biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth, a closed system (apart from solar and cosmic radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth), and largely self-regulating.

She wants me to tell her how to repair the biosphere.

Bacteria

Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms. Typically a few micrometers in length, bacteria have a number of shapes, ranging from spheres to rods and spirals.

Bacteria exist in large numbers in air, water and soil, and also in living and dead creatures and plants, and are often a cause of disease

Climate

Climate the daily and seasonal weather on earth. Climate records are recorded each day and year for comparison.

They wanted to move to a warmer climate.

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations, although it is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities, and is thought to have some normal biological functions.

The level of carbon monoxide in the air fell 25 percent between 1979 and 1988.

GreenpeaceGreenpeace is a large international pressure group that aims to protect the environment. Its members are well known for taking direct action and putting their own lives in danger in order to stop people from harming the environment. For example, they often go out in small boats to stop people from killing whales or throwing poisonous material into the sea.

Greenpeace evolved into one of the largest environmental organizations in the world.
