Слайд 2I am going to talk about the United States Water Problem and
Environmentalism
Слайд 3Main problem:
Wasteful use of water in the United States
Слайд 4Water consumption in the family of four is:
38 (liters) per day for
drinking and cooking;
57 (liters) per day to wash dishes;
303 (liters) per day for bathing;
371 (liters) per day for toilets;
132 (liters) per day for laundry;
379 (liters) per day for watering the lawn, washing the car.
Слайд 5Thus one person daily uses 605 liters of water.
Слайд 6Conclusion: irrational use of water can
lead to tragic results and people
need to
reduce water consumption.
Слайд 7Environmentalism
Goal is to protect or enhance some aspect of the environment that
is judged to have value by the environmentalist.
Слайд 8
What does mean an ecologist and environmentalist?
Ecologists study the environment, whereas environmentalists
want to protect it.
Слайд 9CONCLUSION
On the one hand a focus on natural systems provides a bond
between the ecologist and the environmentalist.
Yet on the other, their activities and objectives are quite different.
