1970s Population Problem

Ever since the multiplication of the human race, the use of nature’s resources has always been a factor. But when you come around the 1950’s time that is when we humans start to really abuse it. Even if it is deforestation or urbanization. To green house gases and melting ice caps, humans play a part in it all. As we continue to not take care of the earth and its resources, it loses its ability to take care of us.

But once it turns to night, look how the gradients of white, yellow and orange prevail above the shadow. That light, the proof that civilizations have destroyed the nature with less concern on their environment reflect the current crises of the environment. As a result of unsustainable development, the problems has expanded. In an attempt to contend with the environmental crises, the world must reconsider the use of resources, make it a political issues, and also convince and motivate people toward conservation. As a first step, the world is required to shift more toward renewable energy rather than oil and fossil fuel that is limited in amount and accelerate climate change. The key concept all the people could keep in mind is frugality, the wise use of resources, which can be achieved by three R’s: reduce, reuse and

Our earth, where we are born, where we grow, where we live, is our home. We as humans interconnect with the environment by influencing and affecting each other. Our responsibility is to cherish and take care of our home. We are stewards over the earth and we should preserve the earth and its natural resources, but we cannot have a reliable planet if populations are growing out of control. E.O. Wilson said, “We are in a bottleneck of over population and wasteful consumption that could push half of the Earth’s species to extinction in this century.” (1)

The human population has continued to exceed seven billion people as of 2012. This large increase in population has created substantial alterations to earth’s environment and created heavy reliance on nonrenewable resources it provides us. Currently the human population consumes nonrenewable resources at an unsustainable rate. If this consumption continues to be unsustainable it will lead to the depletion or loss of the resources that we currently rely largely on. The use of natural resources generates waste products (Faure, 1998), and as nonrenewable resources continue to be of high demand they will create increased amounts of

We are now threatened by self-inflicted, swiftly moving environmental shifts whose long-term biological and ecological consequences result in the depletion of the protective ozone layer, global warming observed in the last 150 years, obliteration of an acre of forest every second, rapid-fire extinction of species and the prospect of a global nuclear war which can threaten the survival of both plants and animals. There may be other such risks we are unaware off at present. Individually and cumulatively, these dangers designate the presence of a trap being set for human species. However principled and lofty the justifications may have been for the activities that brought forth these dangers,

Human beings are very fortunate to be living on Earth. Even though humans get everything we need from these precious lands, we always feel that we have to modify it. Reshaping our world to make it more suitable for individuals is not the way to go. Humans have the desire for scientific process, and are driven to make the world a better place; though in reality, the outcomes of our environment and our selves say otherwise. Our ways of science, agriculture practices, fracking and irrigation practices, ways of mining, inventions of plastics, and even our advancement in technology is leading us to the consequences of not only hurting our species, but our environment as a whole. People believe that mankind will learn to utilize Earth’s

As the human race grows ever larger, more attention is being brought to how we are affecting the world we live in. More people are being born everyday, and our race is using more resources than ever before. Because of this rate of consumption, the list of concerning environmental impacts from humans is incredibly long and disheartening. But a few concerns are at the forefront, and they must be acknowledged and managed carefully. The fate of the human race, as well as so many other species, depends on how we handle two things: deforestation and pollution.

One thing people have learnt from learning history is the fact human interactions influence the environment. And these effects can have varying magnitude bearings on the economy and the timeline of humans on earth. The main driving force behind human interaction with the environment is greed: The need for more. Understanding environmental history has made it clear that people do not necessarily know when to stop. Some even believe the earth is a beast that has to be tamed; all its bounties extracted and left empty and barren. Although, there is much on earth that is yet to be discovered, and the soil, sun, plants and animals are meant for consumption, the method of consumption and exploitation of others is where the issue lies.

In today’s society, the environment is constantly being poorly affected by humans and their actions. Environmental issues are defined as problems that the planet’s systems face due to humans not treating the Earth properly. These issues can occur from simple actions such as someone throwing their trash on the ground, people overpopulating an area, or even someone driving their car. The importance of this essay is to address these many issues that the Earth is facing along with explaining how we can put an end to these problems.

Throughout history, the environment around our society has played a large role and has had serious implication on the very existence of humans. From war, peace migration, population growth, disease, along with the rise and fall of many civilizations mother nature has been right along for the ride through the prosperity and as well as the hardship. The environmental problems that occur have been happening due to natural occurrences, but recently since the age of the Industrial Revolution human activity has become a large factor in the increased problems that are present, and the implications of our consequences are hurting not only the environment but also us in turn. The major environmental issues cause by humans are loss in biodiversity, deforestation, ocean pollution, water scarcity and climate change.

Abstract: Human influences effect the natural occurrences in the environment and as we have discussed throughout this course the Anthropocene must be protected. The evolution of Earth has continued to transition and transform into a planet that has the ability to nurture life. Everything that we do as humans is in response to the environment and our lives are influenced by earths systems. This paper will discuss the negative life threating issues that are to come from the neglect of our atmosphere. As the greenhouse gas problem still lingers, this paper addresses Kurt Cuffeys predictions for our word in the coming years. This speech will address the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and give the audience ideas on how to be the change our environment so helplessly needs.

Humans need to change their way of living. We are destroying our Earth at such a fast rate and we do not get another chance once it is gone. Everyone believes that someone else is going to save them, when in reality the only person you can count on is yourself. Most people do not realize the urgency of this problem. To this day, some people do not believe that global warming is happening even though the glaciers are melting, average temperatures are rising, etc. Naomi Klein says in her book, This Changes Everything, “We deny because we fear that letting in the full reality of this crisis will change everything. And we are right” (Klein 3). As a world, we take complete advantage of our Earth. The first step in saving our world is to realize the problem then by using land ethic and aesthetic reasoning we can change the way humans think about our Earth before it is too late.

The United States and the world are starting to encounter lots of complicated environmental problems that all stem from human influence. Humans have been abusing our environment and have been carelessly taking its resources. It’s absurd for people not to have greater concern when its comes to how we are treating our environment. Climate change is real, pollution is real, and lots of plant and animal species are diminishing at an alarming rate; furthermore, this issue can improve substantially if we start making some better, more ethical decisions. We should not only be concerned with our own lives, but we should be thinking about how our actions toward the environment will affect our children and how it affects other species on this planet.

Air pollution is due to industrialization. Since countries began to industrialize, the air has been filled with pollutants from car exhausts, energy production, and factories. Air pollution causes major health problems such as respiratory infections, heart disease, lung disease such as asthma, and even cancer. Water pollution causes a shortage of drinking water and it is a sanitation problem. Water pollution goes hand in hand with the destruction of oceans because we pollute the ocean with trash, ship pollution, and oil spills. The destruction of the oceans also involves overfishing. Population growth is one of the bigger environmental problems because it expands the other issues. Population growth increases strain on the environment because we need more resources like food, clean water, and clean air, which causes an overall resource reduction. Weakening of the ozone increases the ultraviolet light that comes through which causes skin cancer, it can affect crops, and it aids

Look out the window and admire the beauty the Earth prevails, now imagine what the Earth will look like in five to ten years when the human race has destroyed it. The relationship between Earth and humans is similar to a drug addict looking for a quick fix. Humans use nonrenewable resources that are destroying our planet in search for something better. Through the mass production of plastic bags, motor oil and automobiles the planet is being destroyed due to the deterioration of wildlife, contamination of fresh water and pollution of air.
