Environment Word Search
This environment word search holds 40 words from the ecology unit: the ecosystem with its food chain and food web, the producer, consumer and decomposer, and the problems people cause, from pollution and acid rain to deforestation and global warming.
The modern environmental movement is often dated to 1962, when the biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring. She showed how the pesticide DDT built up in food chains and thinned the eggshells of birds like the bald eagle and the pelican. The book sold in the millions, and within a decade the United States had created the Environmental Protection Agency, in December 1970, and banned DDT for farm use in 1972.
The ozone layer is the clearest case of a problem caught in time. Chemicals called CFCs, used in spray cans and refrigerators, were breaking down the ozone that blocks ultraviolet light, and in 1985 British scientists reported a hole over Antarctica every southern spring. The Montreal Protocol of 1987 phased the chemicals out, every member of the United Nations later signed it, and the layer is now slowly healing.
