Humans threat our environment in these ways -

1. Overpopulation

Survival used to mean repopulating. Humans require space, and lots of it whether it is for farmland, or industries which also takes up tons of space. An increased population results in more clear-cutting, resulting in severely damaged ecosystems. Without enough trees to filter the air, CO₂ levels increase which carries the potential to damage every single organism on Earth.

2. Pollution

Pollution is everywhere. Humanity is continuously polluting indispensable resources like air, water, and soil which requires millions of years to replenish.

3. Global Warming

Global warming is arguably the greatest cause of impact to the environment. The largest of causes emanating through CO₂ levels from respiration to more detrimental causes like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

4. Climate Change

As global temperatures increase, Earth's weather patterns will drastically change. While some areas will experience longer growing seasons, others will become barren wastelands as water will deplete in vast areas, turning once floral regions into deserts.

5. Water Pollution

Every year over 8 millions tons of garbage dumped into the ocean.

6. Deforestation

Forests are cleared to make way for new humans, which in turn, makes more humans, you can see the problem.

7. Acid Rain

When humans burn coal, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere where they rise up and accumulate in the clouds until the clouds become saturated and rain acid, causing havoc on the ground beneath.

8. Ozone Depletion

The human impact is devastating for plants that are extremely sensitive to UV light including wheat and barley, two indispensable crops to humans.

Hope it helps! ☺️✌️
