Across

1. The use of technology to reduce the amount of energy required to perform a certain task, resulting in less waste and lower environmental impact.

2. The complete disappearance of a species from the entire planet.

3. The total amount of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, emitted directly or indirectly by an individual, organization, event, or product.

4. The clearing, destruction, or removal of forests to make land available for other uses, such as agriculture or urban development.

5. The application of technology to optimize crop production, reduce the use of water, fertilizers, and pesticides, and minimize soil erosion and pollution.

6. The use of technology to work remotely and reduce the need for commuting, resulting in decreased air pollution, traffic congestion, and energy consumption.

7. The destruction, fragmentation, or degradation of a natural habitat.

8. The use of technology to minimize waste generation and promote recycling, composting, and responsible disposal practices.

9. The effect of technology on the natural world, including ecosystems, resources, and climate.

10. Energy sources that are virtually inexhaustible and have little to no negative impact on the environment.

11. Structures that are designed and constructed to minimize their impact on the environment, using resources efficiently and reducing waste, pollution, and health hazards.

Down

12. The use of technology to collect and analyze data on the environment, such as water quality, and biodiversity, to facilitate decision-making and conservation.

13. The exhaustion or reduction of natural resources, such as minerals, water, or fossil fuels, due to human activities.

14. The process of breaking habitats into smaller, isolated pieces.

15. The socio-economic gap between individuals or communities with access to modern communication technologies and those without.
