How do you say bottle drive in French?
A bottle drive could be translated by "une collecte de bouteilles". That kind of event is rare in France. French people commonly bring their empty bottles, cans and the like to the recycling bins in their village.
Does a rocket powered by hydrogen and oxygen pollute the atmosphere?
I believe that it would be powered by nuclear fusion of oxygen and hydrogen which would release energy because they are low mass elements. This would result in a byproduct of water I'm pretty sure. Water isn't considered a pollutant.
How many liters of nitrogen are in the air?
It depends how much air there is. Nirtogen makes up about 78-80% of the air and oxygen about 20%. There is also a small amount of other gases such as argon, helium etc

polution is damaging the environment and basically the living organisms in the environment. dumping waste and garbage into water can kill fish and sea life and make the water unusable. Land pollution isn't much better, and has most of the same effects.
Difference between degradable and non degradable plastic?
All plastics are degradable and biodegradable, but normal plastic can take decades, or even hundreds of years.
Oxo-biodegradable plastic (www.biodeg.org) will self-destruct if it gets into the open environment, leaving no harmful residues. It is made from a by-product of oil-refining which used to be wasted, so nobody is importing extra oil to make it. It can be recyled (www.biodeg.org/recycling.htm) and can be made from recycled plastic. During its service-life it has the same strength as normal plastic, and there is very little extra cost. It can be tested according to ASTM D6954.
"Compostable" plastic is up to 400% more expensive, and is not suitable for weight-bearing packaging unless mixed with oil-based plastic. It will not readily degrade in the open environment, and emits methane deep in landfill. The composting Standards(eg ASTM D6400) require it to convert into CO2 gas within 180 days, so it contributes to climate change but does not improve the soil.
How does clearing of forests by burning down trees causes water pollution?
There is the immediate effect of changing the pH of water runoff. Rainwater interacts with wood ash to produce lye a high pH material.
In the long term trees and the organic soil below them improves the retention of water in the forest. Without this sponge effect water runs more quickly through the soil leaching out nutrients in to the water causing a degree of eutrophication. In addition the unprotected soil erodes burdening the water with suspended solids.

What is sewage and how is it treated?
Sewage is liquid waste from households and retail areas that contains sanitary waste (Feces and urine), soaps, food scraps, water, cooking wastes etc.
It is gathered and piped to sewage treatment plants. Depending on the complexity of the plant the treatment consists of:
* Primary treatment: "De-lumping" the sewage and allowing the fluids to sit in lagoons for a period of time before discharge. Removed solids are disposed of to land.
* Secondary Treatment: "Delumping" the sewage. Allowing the sewage to be mixed with bacteria in aeration basins which remove the dissolved organics. Removing the bacteria and discharging the treated water. Removed solids are disposed of to the land or anaerobically digested to generate methane. * Tertiary Treatment: The same as Secondary Treatment but the effluent is filtered and disinfected before discharge Storm water can also be considered as sewage. In many cases it has as many contaminants as sanitary sewage. I is generally simply settled prior to discharge to allow solids to settle out and oils to float to the top for removal
What can happen if litter goes out to sea?
Plastic of any any all kinds can kill wildlife. Many sea turtles eat jellyfish and they mistake plastic bags for them, which block their gut. Plastic cups can have the same effect. The plastic that holds beer can together in packs of 4 or 6, that clips over the top of the cans, can get caught round birds and animals and kill them. Scraps of net continue to catch wildlife while floating free.
