According to your lesson, what are two environmental challenges that Texas faces in the 21st century? What are some of the
proposed solutions to those challenges.

Answer/Explanation:

Some of the environmental challenges faced by Texas in the 21st century include:

1. Finding alternative sources to replace fossil fuel and reduce the effect of environmental pollution and the effects of climate change that results from the continuous reliance on fossil fuel.

2. Addressing the challenges posed by water scarcity as a result of increasing demand for clean water due to rapid overpopulation by conserving water supplies and improving water storage.

The proposed solutions to these challenges include:

1. The adoption of innovative environmental -friendly technology such as renewable energy and hydro-technology that would ensure less carbon emission and water conservation.

2. Closing the regulatory gap by ensuring strict compliance with regulatory provision sanctioning environmental pollution and climate change activities. For instance, regulation imposing carbon limits and carbon taxes on offenders, and regulations criminalizing water wastage.

Also, complying with the principle of the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) so as to ensure a safer and more friendly and carbon-free environment, thereby regulating and improving water, energy, and air quality.

Student answers may vary. Some environmental challenges include: finding alternative energy sources that will eliminate pollution and damage to the environment, conserving water, reducing air pollution, and finding modern natural gas drilling techniques that are safe. Solutions will depend on the challenge selected by the student.
