Across

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

2. The act of misleading consumers or the public about the environmental practices or benefits of a company, product, or service.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Down

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

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

14. The applications of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, often involving the creation or modification of machinery or processes.

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