Human Impact on the Environment

How Humans Change the World

People affect the environment in many ways, both good and bad. Activities like building cities, farming, and using energy can change ecosystems.

Examples of Human Impact

  • Pollution: Chemicals and waste harm air, water, and soil.
  • Deforestation: Cutting down forests removes habitats for many species.
  • Conservation: Protecting endangered animals and cleaning up pollution are positive impacts.

Why It Matters

Our actions can help or harm the balance of nature. Learning about our impact helps us make better choices for a healthy planet.

Real-World Connection

Recycling and using less plastic helps protect animals and ecosystems.

Examples

  • Factories can cause air pollution, but planting trees can help clean the air.

  • Recycling programs reduce waste in landfills.

In a Nutshell

Humans affect the environment in many ways, and our choices matter for the planet's health.
