If people looked at human nature and had to choose whether or not humans affect the environment in a positive or negative way, many people would probably choose a positive. Some people believe that humans help nourish the earth and learn ways to control and use natural resources. The environment is not just local and people only care about that territory. The environment is not just there and has no solid purpose for everything else in the world. The environment is the foundation of life. Without the environment, most people would not be able to live, learn and adapt to their surroundings. Human nature and how people view the environment are important to everyone's survival. Human nature and the environment are more powerfully synchronized than most people are led to believe. Few people understand the importance humans have on the environment, but some people have no idea. The effects of humans on the environment can have many positive outcomes, but there are four major negative aspects that humans need to change, including overpopulation, air pollution, deforestation, and the extinction of beneficial species. First reason why humans in today's world have a negative impact on the environment and the need for change is that the earth is overly populated. Overpopulation occurs when there are too many people living in a certain area and there are not enough natural resources for them to survive. The human population is growing at a rapid rate. About two hundred thousand people are born every day. In which up to a billion people are added to the world for every twelve years added to the population. When an area becomes overly populated, everyone in that area goes crazy because everyone needs to survive and the natural resources are becoming…half of paper…negative impact on the environment and need for change. The environment is a beautiful thing and must be treated well. The funny thing about the environment is that people look at it as if it were always here, but in reality as long as they continue to populate it with new species, creating pollution, causing deforestation and killing entire species, it will decline. After natural disasters occur and things start to get extremely bad, people realize how important the environment really is to realizing and receiving all the good things they want in their lives and that mother nature can provide. Just remember that the environment around each of us is the foundation of life. As long as people look at the environment with knowledge of population control, air control, deforestation and extinction, they will become successful healthy and smiling people..
