why is the environment important and how does it affect planets and humans?

The environment is part of Earth and isnt Earth the planet where we live in. We can't change or move to another planet for our daily resources. All of our daily resources come from the environment itself. Not caring for the environment would result is catathrophic consequences as we would be affected as well. Such as the intensive pig farming. Large amounts of pigs equals to large amounts of ammonia containing waste which if not disposed of properly would pollute the underground water and would be not be potable for human and animals any longer. Seems to me that people on earth take this world for granted, they only take what they want but do not give anything back. Irregard for the environment would also have long term effects on people and the environment such as the Bhopal gas tragedy. The victims of the accident after 5 years are still suffering bad effects of the chemical spill.

The environment is not healthy at all. With all these irregard for the environment its no wonder that she is not healthy and this onli those tragedies that we know off. The environment is always at risk as long as irresponsible people are around. With technology around the world is off even more greater threat. technology is there to make people's lives easier but does it make the environments life easier? The answer is NO.For e.g the amount if e-waste in india. as technology progresses the old equipment gets dumped away and has no way to be rid off. The old equipment releases dangerous chemicals into the environment when tried to be recycled of be disposed off.

But with technolgy itself we can solve this envrionmental mishaps. Companies and brands are looking for environmental friendly alternatives to substitute the materials they use in their products.People themselves are starting to get aware that our world is in danger are doing their best efforts to help the environment.
