Why is recycling important for the environment?

• Recycling is important for the environment because it conserves resources, reduces pollution, and minimizes waste.

• Recycling increases waste production.

• Recycling has no impact on pollution levels.

What is a renewable energy source?

• Energy derived from fossil fuels

• A renewable energy source is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished.

• Energy that cannot be replenished

• Energy generated from nuclear reactions

Name one effect of climate change on weather patterns.
