Environmental Health and Sustainable Development

Healthy diet is not an environmental health hazard. It is a lifestyle choice that promotes overall well-being.

Sustainable development aims to achieve a balance between economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being.

Economic efficiency is not a key principle of sustainable development. It is a concept that focuses on maximizing output or minimizing input in an economic system.

Life cycle assessment is a technique used to evaluate the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel and therefore not a renewable energy source.

Agricultural expansion is the leading cause of deforestation, as forests are cleared to make way for farmland.

Increased agricultural productivity is not a consequence of climate change. In fact, climate change is expected to have negative impacts on agricultural productivity.

All of the options contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Economic growth is not a sustainable development goal. It is a means to achieve other goals, such as poverty reduction and improved well-being.

Strategic environmental assessment is a process that evaluates the environmental impacts of policies, plans, and programs before they are implemented.

Technological innovation is not a key challenge to achieving sustainable development. It is a key enabler of sustainable development.

Ecological restoration is the process of restoring degraded ecosystems to their natural state.

Driving a car is not a sustainable transportation mode due to its contribution to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

All of the options contribute to reducing waste generation.

Monoculture is not a sustainable agriculture practice as it can lead to soil degradation, pest outbreaks, and reduced biodiversity.
