"o" takes Locative ("o środowisku") when it means "about", which I guess statistically is most of the cases. But sometimes there are other meanings of "o", which need Accusative, and that's one of such situations.
"Troszcz się o środowisko" and "Troszczcie się o środowisko" is correct and should also be accepted, although we rather use the verb "troszczyć się" in context of taking care of given living beings or members of family.
Because "dbasz" (singular) and "dbacie" (plural) is indicative mood (tryb oznamujący). And the English phrase is in imperative mood (tryb rozkazujący), which in Polish is, respectively, "dbaj" (singular) and "dbajcie" (plural) - see also here: http://sgjp.pl/leksemy/#250217/dba%C4%87
The original sentence here is "Dbaj o środowisko" (singular 'you'), plural "dbajcie" is only accepted in the back-translation. All the audio files work correctly on my side.

Somewhere in another lesson uważać was used as to take care of. When do you use this as opposed to dbać.
Unless there's something that just doesn't come to my head right now, I don't think that "uważać" can ever be translated this way. I look at the list of the sentences with "uważać" in this course and I don't think it would work in any of them.
Maybe if you translate 'uważaj na siebie!' as 'take care!'
But that's of course an idiom which is not to be understood literally.
Both plural "dbajcie" (Take care, John and George!) and singular "dbaj" (Take care, John!) are accepted here.
