to help protect the water quality of the Great Lakes, Incorporating small changes in our daily routine can go a long way in preserving water quality, not only in the Great Lakes but also in any nearby water body. Here are some tips I could do for protecting the water quality:

Firstly avoid using harmful chemicals at home, such as fertilizers, and harsh cleaning agents. Instead using eco-friendly alternatives.

Secondly, Fixing water leaks to prevent excess water usage.

As well as Properly dispose of household waste, such as batteries, electronics, and medications, to prevent their entry into water sources.

Limiting the use of plastic products, such as straws, bottles, and bags, which can end up in water sources and harm marine life.

And Supporting local organizations that work towards protecting water quality in your area.

By following these simple steps, we can all play a part in protecting the water quality of our local water sources and the Great Lakes

If we were talking about the effects of human activity on the limiting factors and how they impact our ecosystem I’d definitely mention that Human activities can have severe impacts on many terrestrial ecosystems around the world. For example, in a forest ecosystem, deforestation is caused by human activities that directly reduce the availability of food, shelter, and habitat for various species. This reduction can limit the carrying capacity of the ecosystem, and affecting the population size of living things.

Like when trees are cut down, it disrupts the natural balance within the ecosystem. The loss of vegetation not only reduces the food sources for herbivores but also affects the availability of protective cover for many animals, and this can lead to a decrease in their population size. Additionally, deforestation can also impact the soil quality, nutrient cycling, and water availability, further affecting the overall health and carrying capacity of the ecosystem.

Human activities can also introduce pollutants and toxins into the environment, such as industrial waste or chemicals etc..

And these pollutants can contaminate water sources, soil, and air, negatively impacting the quality of the ecosystem and limiting the survival of living organisms. For example, pollution can lead to the decline of aquatic species due to water contamination or air pollution and can harm the respiratory systems of animals, reducing their ability to thrive.

Despite the fact that Humans can produce trash and oil spills, but they can also come up with new ways to clean the ocean in beneficial ways, and It is important to recognize the impact of human activity on ecosystems and strive for sustainable practices.

In the first trophic level, we have plants as a primary producer. In the second trophic level, we have mice as primary consumers. And in the third trophic level, we have foxes as secondary consumers. 🌱🐇🦊

Ecological issues like pollution, and climate change are having a huge impact on our ecosystems because all ecosystems are interconnected. Damage to one can affect others. These issues are causing pollution and deforestation harm habitats, reduce biodiversity, and disrupt food chains. For instance, deforestation leads to loss of habitat for many species, which can lead to their extinction. Pollution, particularly plastic pollution, is harming marine life and birds. Climate change is causing shifts in weather patterns, which can affect plants and animal life and all these changes can have a ripple effect throughout the ecosystem, affecting everything from tiny insects.

Climate change is a major ecological issue affecting global ecosystems. It's caused by human activities and affects everyone and everything, leading to extreme weather events and biodiversity loss.

The marine ecosystem is greatly affected. Global warming is causing alterations in ocean chemistry and many oceanic processes, and it is threatening many species of marine animals that cannot cope with higher temperatures. Overfishing is a serious problem in many parts of the world. Conservationists advocate creating expansive marine reserves to protect the biodiversity of the oceans.

Everything and everyone especially low income people are affected by ecological issues. Humans face health risks and natural disasters, while animals and plants face habitat loss. Ecosystems, like forests and oceans, also suffer, disrupting the balance of life on Earth.

Example, the WWF reports that we've lost about 60% of wildlife populations since 1970 due to ecological issues.

Or In 1950, the world produced more than 2 million tons of plastic per year.

- Short-term effects are extreme weather events or increased pollution and loss of species.

- Long-term effects could include massive biodiversity loss and threats to humans.

Hello i am ella an average teenager , is always exploring new ideas and always ready to dive into the depths of discover.

From the moment i wake up, science plays a role. the weather i check before going out, the food i eat, the clock, all are scientific advancements.

Choosing a career in science could be exciting if you find it interesting, me personally i would not choose it because i find it challenging and i see it requires lots of patience.
