Question

Your actions can impact environmental issues such as overharvesting and invasive species. Drag each of the following actions to the environmental issue it helps address.

1) Never release fish or vegetation from fish tanks into the wild or sewer/storm drain
2) Use native plants in your garden/yard
3) Don't buy exotic pets or plants
4) Buy farm-raised fish to eat
5) Avoid slow-growing fish species such as swordfish or bluefin tuna
6) Buy sustainably harvested wood products

Answer 1

Actions such as not releasing fish or vegetation from fish tanks into the wild, using native plants in gardens, and avoiding exotic pets or plants can address the environmental issues of invasive species and habitat destruction.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Never release fish or vegetation from fish tanks into the wild or sewer/storm drain - This action helps address the issue of invasive species as releasing them into the wild can disrupt native ecosystems.

2) Use native plants in your garden/yard - This action helps address habitat destruction as native plants provide essential habitats for local wildlife and promote biodiversity.

3) Don't buy exotic pets or plants - This action helps address the issue of invasive species as exotic pets or plants can escape into the wild and harm native species.

4) Buy farm-raised fish to eat - This action helps address overharvesting as farm-raised fish reduce the pressure on wild fish populations.

5) Avoid slow-growing fish species such as swordfish or bluefin tuna - This action helps address overharvesting as slow-growing fish species are more vulnerable to overfishing.

6) Buy sustainably harvested wood products - This action helps address habitat destruction as unsustainable logging practices can lead to deforestation and loss of wildlife habitats.
