Question

According to your lesson, what are two environmental challenges that Texas faces in the 21st century? What are some of the proposed solutions to those challenges.

Answer 1

• Availability of alternative energy sources.
• Decrease in species of animals and plants threatened with extinction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Texas, like all regions of the world, needs to adapt its industrial and cultural practices so that they can offer greater environmental security to their territory, allowing a better quality of life for their citizens.

In the 21st century, specifically, Texas has been dealing with the demand and availability of finding alternative sources of energy that could cause a decrease in the burning of fossil fuels. In this way it is possible to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which can generate severe and degrading environmental changes for Texas.

Texas must also fight against the extinction of animals and olanta in its territory. These endangered species are caused both by hunting, and by the invention of habitats for industrial activities or even expansion of cities.
