I not know what these go under:
Use off switch

change a light bulb

can i please get more things i need some more for soil and forests and water solutions and problems please.

Answer 1

Groundwater is carried in underground streams of water. Our wells go down to bring up groundwater. An aquifer is water that is contained under ground.

Ways to conserve soil:
Rotate crops so that the minerals are replenished
Don't plow to prevent the wind from blowing it away.

Way to preserve forests:
Plant trees to replace trees that have been cut down.

Water solutions:
Don't plant lawns and crops in dry areas.
Make sure that gas lines don't leak.
Limit business and housing developments in dry areas.

Your ideas are excellent!

thanks very much ms. sue :) i only got one problem for water what others there be? and i also not know what these go under Use off switch, encourage others to conserve ,change a light bulb

Answer 3

You're very welcome, Mohammad.

Use off switch and change a light bulb are both ways to conserve energy. Electricity is often produced by fossil fuels.
