A) Using the same glass each time you get water from your sink.

Explanation:

Option B) is wasteful, as you do not need a brand new cup every time you refill your glass. And while paper will decompose, it is still harmful for the environment to cut down trees needed to make them, and produce those paper cups.

Option C) is harmful as well. If you were to refill a singular steel bottle, that would be much better, but the option says buy a new one each time you need water. This creates more waste that will end up in the landfills in the long run.

Option D) has a harmful impact on the environment because of the large amount of plastic waste it creates. Using a plastic bottle each time you are thirsty creates a large amount of plastic waste. Plastic requires many many years to fully decompose, and production is bad for the environment.

This is why option A) has the least harmful impact on the environment. Option A) says using the same glass each time you need water, which reduces the amount of waste created.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
