Negative Affects

• threaten resources for other organisms
• can affect quality supply of species
• hunting species to extinction
• introduces foreign species into new environment (dangerous)
• destroy habitats, habitats die out
• endangered species

If humans change the ways that we hunt and gather, we can conserve our quality resources. After a period of time if humans excessively hunt and gather, our resources will die out, and we will have no other thing to depend on.

Humans can conserve resources. Conservation is the best was to save the reserves we need for our every day lives.

An example of how hunting and gathering has a

negative affect towards other species. If humans

continue to cut down and gather trees, deer habitats

will be lost

• pesticides kill ecosystems
• pollution produced
• use up ecological resources
• pollutes ecosystems
• industry pollution creates "greenhouse gases"
• waste products of industry disperse into air

Changing agriculture and industry will save the earth, and its communities. Industries and agriculture can lead up to

risky climate. It also can cause the rise of sea levels, extreme temperatures, violent storms, and devastating droughts. If not changed, it can also destroy food production and human habitability.

To regulate agriculture and industry

problems, we can control the emission

of pollutants. Factories and industries should

also take precautions on pollution. For agriculture,

reducing the use of pesticides will help save our atmosphere.

An example of how agriculture and industry can negatively affect the atmosphere, are the "greenhouse gases" they create. Green house gases can affect climate, and many other aspects of the earth. One that is very dangerous is high sea-levels.

• splits ecosystem into pieces
• strongly impacts on soil reservoirs, air basins, and growth
• pollution
• growth of urban development can lead to higher vehicle numbers, polluting urban industrial environment
• overcrowding

Why We Should Change

Changing the environment will keep humans safe.

We will rarely be at risk for danger, if regulating urban development. We should try to maintain a stabilized population growth, which will help regulate urban development.

Things We Can Do

Cities should have limitations of growth, which will slow down the rapid rate of growth. Controlling housing developments will also save the land and atmosphere

Urban development can affect the population of humans

which should stay at a stabilized levels. The population

is a very vital factor in keeping a balanced community.
