3 multiple choice 2 points
what is the significance of \eco - friendly habits\ in daily life?
they minimize harm to the planet
they waste natural resources
they increase environmental harm
they contribute to climate change

Explanation:

• Question 1: Food waste reduction leads to efficient resource use (less food production resources like land, water, etc. wasted) and cost reduction (less money spent on food that is thrown away). Wasting money and increasing expenses are negative impacts (not savings). Saying it has no economic impact is incorrect as food waste has economic costs (production, disposal costs etc.).
• Question 2: Composting is the process of decomposing organic material (like food scraps) into nutrient - rich soil (compost). Storing food is preservation, throwing in trash is waste disposal (not composting), and recycling plastic is a different waste management process.
• Question 3: Eco - friendly habits are actions that are good for the environment. Minimizing harm to the planet (e.g., reducing waste, conserving energy) is the essence. Wasting resources, increasing environmental harm, and contributing to climate change are the opposite of what eco - friendly habits do.

Answer:

1. It leads to more efficient resource use and cost reduction
2. Decomposing organic material into nutrient - rich soil
3. They minimize harm to the planet
