Essay On Impact Of Humans On Environment

Impact of Humans on the Environment:

Since the beginning of times up until now, the earth has been imprinted by humans. What was before Pangaea is now seven damaged continents. The radical change that earth has experienced is due to humans’ negative impact on the environment. Humans have altered ecosystems, and they have changed human nature’s natural way of being. As time passes by, the human population grows causing the negative impact on the environment to be larger. Humans have caused “environmental stress” by doing things such as: cutting forests, creating pollution, and dumping garbage into the oceans. There is a shortage of supplies and this is due to the fact that there are large population concentrations near areas with small amount of supplies. There is a shortage in many crucial supplies, such as water, that are necessary for human life. Without these supplies there is the question of whether humans can function without using up all of the natural resources. Can humans recycle and preserve resources for the future generations? As technology advances, this is a difficult question to answer. With new technological updates, it is challenging to not use an ample amount of energy for technological devices. There are energy demands that need to be met in order for humans to function on a daily basis. There are gas tanks to fill and house lights to turn on, but where do humans exceed their limit on energy usage? There is no certain answer for this, yet what is certain is that humans have destructively affected the earth. Humans have impacted the earth and they have caused water scarcity, energy misuse and pollution to destruct the atmosphere of mother earth.

The deterioration of the earth is, as stated before, a result of ov...

...oes on, it is crucial that humans maintain sustainability. Resources will not last if they are not distributed correctly. Air, water, light and many other factors will not be clean if humans continue to pollute them. The problems that will arise, if earth is not protected, will be massive. As medicines and more cure to diseases are invented the population will not start to shrink. By the year 2050, the current population of 7 billion people will increase to 9 billion. Humans cannot continue to cut forests down, overuse water nor energy. Instead humans have to find a way for sustainability. To do this humans must ask two vital questions: How can earth sustain this growth? And what can we do to improve the living conditions of present and future generations? Only answering these two questions will humans be able to one day live in an earth where sustainability exists.
