Answer 1

1.Because the ecosystem approach to teaching is still in its early stages, there is no consensus on what constitutes a "educational ecosystem." Simultaneously, experienced executives can tell the difference between “ecosystem” and “non-ecosystem” management approaches. The essential features of educational ecosystems, according to a study of respondents, are flexibility, co-creation, and meaningfulness more often than others.

Educational ecosystems are characterized as networks of linked and diversified individuals who participate in the learning, parenting, and development of children and adults throughout their lives. Learners and communities come together in educational ecosystems to realize their personal and group capabilities. They are diversified, dynamic, and ever-changing. Education ecosystems' purpose is to ensure a successful future for individuals, society, and the earth.

(b)Humans have a variety of effects on the physical environment, including overcrowding, pollution, fossil fuel combustion, and destruction. Climate change, land degradation, air pollution, and water pollution have all been driven by changes like these. Excessive deforestation, industrialization, and overfilling landfills, all of which generate CO2 and contribute to greenhouse emissions, are the major causes of these environmental concerns.

(c) Institutions must take the lead in this discussion. Environmental consciousness should be a component of every curriculum. This will inspire young people to become more involved in their environment in order to safeguard it, as well as assist communities in becoming more environmentally conscious. Setting up a recycling system in the school cafeteria, or developing a small vegetable farm to produce fresh veggies for the cafeteria, are just a few examples. Planting trees, bushes, and flowers on the school field can also help local animals and reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
