Answer:

The phenotype of the moth changed due to natural selection. During the Industrial Revolution, objects in England became a lot darker in color due to the settling of coal pollutants in the air. These light colored moths did not have good camouflage in this environment. Therefore, most of the light colored moths did not survive to reproduce. However, the dark colored moths had better camouflage, and were therefore more likely to survive and reproduce. This lead to a shift towards darker color moths, as they had a higher survival rate than the light colored moths.

From the point of view of energy use why is recycling better?
scoray [572]
When recycling we are reusing old stuff we get rid of and making it better like for example when you recycle plastic that plastic can turn into a toy for a kid or recycling an old rusty metal that can turn into a bed or a new table. Recycling is really good for the environment because you are changing something old into something new. 

Hope this helped :)

Imagine that a company is planning to build a new factory in your region that will provide hundreds of well-paid jobs, but will
Vesna [10]

I would support the factory if I lived 50 miles away from the planned factory location. However, I would be worried if I only lived one mile away from the planned factory, because of possible health effects, bad smells, and a potential decrease in property values.

<h3>What is Air pollution ?</h3>

Factories contaminate the air by blowing chemical vapors and smoke out through vents and smokestacks, and by burning waste in open dumps or incinerators.

  • Exhaust from generators, diesel trucks, and buses also fill the air with dangerous gases.

  • The amount of toxic gases that factories release into the air increases health and environmental damages. In factories, toxic materials and gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, are burned and pumped out into the atmosphere.
