Human impact or influence on
environment.
we are living in this environment so we have
definitely gave an impact on environment. So lets see
some positive and negative impact of humans on
environment
7.
NEGATIVE IMPACT
Humans are continuously cutting down trees and littering
have a negative impact on environment
Pollution is everywhere, from the trash thrown out on the
free way to the millions of metric tons of pollution pumped
into the atmosphere every year.
Burning fossil fuels is the prime culprit from the climate for
climate change. When oil gas and coal are burned they
release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases which trap
heat in atmosphere and cause it to warm up.
The increasing use of fertilizers and pesticides to protect
crops have damaged the fertility of land.
Food wastage is a huge issue with an estimated one third of
all food produced globally is being wasted.
8.
POSITIVE IMPACT
Promoting afforestation plays an important role in reducing air
pollution by improving overall air quality.
Conserving water resources- By not throwing industrial wastes,
domestic wastes into rivers, lakes etc. water pollution can be
prevented. Technique like rain water harvesting, watershed
management, drip irrigation helps in conservation of water
resources.
Soil conservation- methods like terrace farming, crop rotation,
windbreaks play an important role in preventing soil erosion.
Conservation of flora and fauna by setting up conservation
areas, botanical gardens, national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
Use of renewable sources of energy like solar energy, biofuels,
wind energy etc.

CONCLUSION
Since the dawn of time, human beings have
solemnly dependent on mother nature to fulfil their
needs from inhaling air to sustenance to food
requirements. But we are unable to handle the
greatness of nature, we have overused, exploited,
wasted natural resources which will effect badly
on future generations. So its our duty to utilize the
resources carefully. If we do not then that day is
not so far where there will be no water no food no
oxygen and the life will be impossible.
