Use the graph to answer the question.
The vertical axis is labeled millions and ranges from 0 to 900 in increments of 100. The horizontal axis is labeled year and lists dates from 1700 to 2000 in 100-year increments. The line for population starts at 90 million for 1700 and with a slow growth rate reaches to 120 million by 1900. The line then rises with a high growth rate and reaches beyond 600 million by 2000. The line for steel consumption starts from 0 in 1860 and reaches 20 million by 1900. The line then rises with a high growth rate to reach beyond 800 million by 2000. The values used in the description are approximate.

In three to five sentences, describe two impacts of obtaining nonrenewable resources and how these have been affected by increasing population.
The demand for nonrenewable resources such as coal and oil have led to increased rates of their extraction around the world. This has resulted in significant environmental impacts, including air, water, and soil pollution, as well as habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. With the increasing population, the consumption of nonrenewable resources has also risen, leading to additional impacts on the environment and climate change due to the release of greenhouse gases.
In order to expand agriculture and stimulate a sagging economy, the Brazilian government eased environmental laws which allowed large tracts of rainforest to be cut down or burned. In three to five sentences, construct a potential chain of consequences for what can happen as a result of this kind of deforestation. The chain does not have to be linear (i.e., five steps in a row), but can have several branches, one for each different potential consequence. Your chain should include at least four steps, including the original event.
1. The large-scale deforestation of the Amazon rainforest has resulted in a loss of the world's largest carbon sink, leading to a significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions by accelerating climate change.
2. The loss of biodiversity due to habitat destruction has meant that many species are on the brink of extinction, which will result in changes in ecosystem function and services such as pollination and seed dispersal.
3. The cleared land is often used for the expansion of cattle ranching or soybean production which are industries that contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions.
4. The destruction of the rainforest can also lead to a decline in soil health and fertility, which can negatively impact the productivity of nearby agricultural land and the economic viability of local farmers.

In three to five sentences, describe how a person can reduce consumption of natural resources when drinking water. Assume that there is no change in the amount of water consumed and that the change is only in the way water is produced.
A person can reduce the consumption of natural resources when drinking water by choosing to drink tap water rather than bottled water, as bottled water requires a significant amount of energy and resources to produce and transport. Additionally, using a home water filtration system can prevent the need to purchase bottled water and reduce plastic waste. Finally, being mindful of water usage at home by turning off faucets when not in use and taking shorter showers can also reduce overall consumption and preserve freshwater resources.
Use the scenario to answer the question.
A city planner is designing a new apartment complex. The complex will have several apartment buildings as well as a paved parking area for residents.
In one to two sentences, describe two ways the planner can help minimize the human impact of the apartment complex on the environment.

In one to two sentences, describe two ways the planner can help minimize the human impact of the apartment complex on the environment.
The planner can help minimize the human impact of the apartment complex on the environment by incorporating green spaces such as gardens and rooftop plants to promote biodiversity and combat the urban heat island effect. Additionally, promoting sustainable transportation methods such as biking or carpooling can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion.
