Every living thing has an impact on its environment. Therefore a human impact on the environment is inevitable. By simply existing, all species - including ourselves - will imprint their mark on the world around them.

Humans can impact the environment and it could be helpful, or very unhelpful. A helpful way is that we have organizations that are made specifically for protecting the environment. Including the EPA, NRDC, etc. We can also harm the environment, one way is by smoking and leaving remains of a cigarette behind, or poaching animals.

Humans affect the environment by when they smoke and throw it anywhere. People just throw their trash out on the roads and don't respect their land. Also people ruin animals habitats like cutting down all the trees to make houses and buildings.

Brooke Carman said...

People can litter, and pollute the air with factories. They cut down trees for paper and Destroy natural habitats. They drill in the ocean sometimes, and oil spills happen. That causes animals to drown in the oil, get covered in the oil so its harder to move, and kill them. They can also do positive things too. People help endangered and sick animals. They can PREVENT fires too. We can help and purify water.
