Environmental Issues Review Game

This educational review game explores significant environmental issues related to human overpopulation, greenhouse gases, acid rain, and endangered species. Players will learn about the causes and consequences of overpopulation, including advancements in medicine that contribute to the rising global population. The game also covers the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, discusses the origins of acid rain, and identifies human activities leading to endangered species. By playing, participants will discover practical steps to mitigate their environmental impact.
