      3.8 Solutions For Sustainability - Quiz
    Correct Answer
    A. Better waste treatment
    Explanation
    Better waste treatment can help in reducing the spread of diseases. Proper waste treatment methods, such as effective disposal of medical waste and sewage, can prevent the contamination of water sources and the environment. This, in turn, reduces the risk of diseases spreading through waterborne or airborne transmission. Additionally, better waste treatment can also help in controlling the breeding of disease-carrying pests, such as mosquitoes and rats, which thrive in unmanaged waste. Therefore, improving waste treatment methods can contribute to the prevention and control of diseases.

    Which of the following is NOT a strategy that could slow population growth?

    • Legal punishments

    • Limiting education for women

    • Public Policy

    • Economic incentives

    Correct Answer
    A. Limiting education for women
    Explanation
    Limiting education for women is not a strategy that could slow population growth because education has been proven to have a direct correlation with lower fertility rates. When women are educated, they tend to have fewer children and delay starting a family, resulting in slower population growth. Therefore, limiting education for women would likely have the opposite effect and contribute to higher population growth.

    • Renewable energy can help preserve resources

    • Clearing farm land to build more homes

    Correct Answer
    A. Clearing farm land to build more homes
    Explanation
    Clearing farm land to build more homes is not a solution to a population growth problem because it contributes to the destruction of natural habitats and can lead to the loss of biodiversity. This action can also lead to a decrease in agricultural land and food production, which can exacerbate the issues caused by population growth. Therefore, it is not a viable solution to address the challenges posed by population growth.

Secondly, education can reduce poverty by equipping individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to secure better job opportunities and increase their income. Finally, education can prevent the destruction of natural habitats by promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices, leading to more responsible and conscious actions towards the environment.
