ACTIVITY 1
1.1 Environmental education (EE) processes need to take into consideration the
history and context behind certain environmental issues and their implications
for communities and their lived context.
1.1.1Three environmental issues faced by South African citizens are:
1. Water scarcity and pollution: South Africa has been experiencing severe droughts in
recent years, leading to limited availability of clean and safe drinking water. Additionally,
, many water sources are polluted due to industrial and agricultural activities, affecting
the health of communities.
2. Air pollution: South Africa has high levels of air pollution, primarily due to emissions
from industries, mining activities, and transportation. This pollution can lead to
respiratory problems, cardiovascular issues, and other health concerns for the
population.
3. Land degradation and deforestation: Land degradation is a major problem in South
Africa, primarily due to unsustainable agricultural practices, overgrazing, and
deforestation. This leads to soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, and reduced agricultural
productivity, impacting local communities and their livelihoods.
1.1.2 1. Water Scarcity
South Africa is a water-scarce country, with limited freshwater resources. The
implications of water scarcity include:
Impact on Health: Insufficient access to clean water can lead to waterborne diseases,
affecting public health.
Agricultural Productivity: Water scarcity hampers agricultural activities, reducing crop
yields and livestock productivity.
Economic Consequences: Industries dependent on water, such as mining and
manufacturing, may face disruptions, impacting economic growth.
2. Air Pollution
Air pollution is a significant environmental issue in South Africa, primarily due to
industrial activities and vehicle emissions. The implications of air pollution include:
Health Risks: Poor air quality can lead to respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases,
and other health issues, particularly in urban areas.
Environmental Degradation: Air pollution contributes to the degradation of ecosystems,
harming biodiversity and disrupting ecological balance.
Climate Change: Certain air pollutants, such as greenhouse gases, contribute to climate
change, leading to adverse weather patterns and long-term environmental
consequences.
