Human Impact on Climate Change PowerPoint

After learning about several ways in which our everyday actions impact
climate change, choose one action to conduct more research on and create a
PowerPoint presentation to tell us more!

There are several ideas with information throughout the unit but there is
even more information out in the world! Think about what you do every day, and
how the activity uses energy or natural resources. Think about a product you
buy—how it was made, what natural resources were used to make it? You can
also do a quick google search of “everyday activities that effect the
environment” and start reading some articles for more ideas.

Remember to use reliable sources from the Internet. There is a lot of
misinformation out there and finding reliable information can be difficult.
The best sources of reference material for your presentation are scientific
journals. You can also
find reliable statistics at organization websites listed in the Unit under
“Combat Climate Change.”

Your presentation must include:

1. What everyday activity or product have you chosen to present? Why
   did you choose this activity or product? Why is it important?
2. Connect the activity/product to its impact on the environment and
   climate change. How does doing the activity or making the product
   use natural resources, disrupt habitat, impact wildlife or
   other effects on the environment?
3. Report data and statistics, with references, on how this
   activity/product effects the environment.
4. What can people do to decrease the activity/product’s impact on the
   environment?

Be sure to follow the formatting and guidelines provided below:

• Include at least three visual aids.
• Include three reliable references
• Use bulleted information on slides (five lines or fewer).
• Include a separate title slide and separate reference slide.
• Use an appropriate font and background.
• Include at least 11 slides, but not more than 15 slides (not
  counting your title slide and reference slide).
• Use correct APA format for references and citations, and use correct
  grammar and spelling.
• Upload the presentation as a .ppt or .pptx file.
