HEI: An Example Of Human Interaction With The Environment

Human Environmental Interaction is when the human interacts with the environment and the environment interacts with the humans too. Some of these scenery like the Amazon river and Brazil’s rain forest, they interact with the human a lot because they allow humans to get away from the city and technology and see the beautiful thing that nature has and also what it can provide to us.

Human activity can negatively impact on the environment in different ways, which can lead to consequences which are not only bad for the environmental area affected, but humans too. Activities such as causing radiation leaks with nuclear meltdowns and dumping waste are just some examples of how humans can worsen their own environment.

Pollution can cause changes in the planet’s energy balance, such as changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere, variations in the sun’s energy reaching Earth changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface. The changes have changed the climate many times which have an effect on humans also. (NRC EPA. 2010) Our planet can is good at reusing waste but humans are producing more than what the Earth can handle. Pollution happened at different stages and it has an impact on all living things including species and humans. Unfortunately, humans are the most polluting species.

Environment is the surroundings and influences upon things including humans. These are many things happening individually or all at once. E.g. Light, temperature, water and interactions (other living things). Looking further, it has become popular to find that after the Sun, Moon and Stars the largest influence is us (human beings).

Ecosystems is the dynamic complex of plant, animal and micro-organism communities and their non-living environment that work together to form a functional unit and they are constantly changing due to the fluctuating equilibrium from natural stress and human action which has had adversarial impacts on ecosystems. This is evident in Minnamurra rainforest as human induced modifications and environmental stresses had resulted in a vulnerable ecosystem. Furthermore, the removal of factors that contribute to the vulnerability of an ecosystem is important as it affect the functioning of the ecosystem as processes are accelerated, biodiversity is decreased which greatly affects humans. Despite the negative effects caused by humans, they have discovered that ecosystems are susceptible from harm caused by natural environmental factors or human impacts and realised the importance of protecting and managing ecosystems therefore have implemented management strategies that are supposed to prevent further detriment and as a consequence may induce resiliency.

interaction between people and the world; how humans depend on, adapt to, and modify the environment

The environment influences many of the choices we make in life. How we life our life and certain standards we have are sometimes caused or influenced by the environment. It determines choices we make in our sexuality as well as choices we make to build upon our happiness. Many of the activities we engage in the early years can sometimes affect our lives throughout late adulthood. Some of these same environmental influences are carried down generation after generation.

Human beings sometimes fail to understand the important role that the environment plays in ensuring our survival and well-being because they have little knowledge about the environment, which makes them have less concern about it. The concept of deep ecology, which refers to a more

Do people think it is important to change their environment? Everyone needs to adapt to their environment, like plants and animals. There are many reasons someone would have to adapt to their environment. For example their food and resources cold change, the temperature and climate could differ, and there would be new predators.

Laurance argues that human beings have the heaviest impact on nature. The author givessamples of each environment and how it has changed for the worst. There is fact provided witheach section giving examples of each and the measurements of what has changed. This sourceprovides information from scholarly, well known authors, and facts from many scientist aroundthe world. I can use this source to show how human beings have such a drastic effect on theirenvironments, proven with facts and statistics from all over the world.

Technology is making distribution, processing, production, development, and exploration of natural resources and alternative resources more cost effective, and protective in regard to the environment. The Technology that we have today has given humans a way of reducing negative effects on the environment that we have caused; such as the depletion of natural resources, the burning of fossil fuels, and other behaviors which have caused negative environmental effects. One effective way for technology to have a positive impact on our environment is

     As I mentioned before our environment has a great effect on our nature. For example a theory claimed that, the first humans

Nearly everything that a human does is in response to the environment. Our lives are defined by what is around us and what we find in front of us, whether this means accepting, dealing with or changing it. This has been the pattern since primates first stood up and became Homo erectus, and has continued until we considered ourselves doubly wise. The shape of the land affected where humans moved. Weather was something with which to contend. Fire affected humans until they conquered it – and herein lies the core of the relationship. The earth affects humans, and humans affect it back, viewing characteristics and patterns as problems and challenges, and finding a solution.

And the third example is the population. If the population increase, people need more places to live. They need more soil to grow the food. This will make the soil loose and the water may flood it away. And the other activities of human will pollute the environment. However, the bad environment will affect the human activities.

A photograph of Earth reveals a great deal, but it does not convey the complexity of our environment. Our environment (a term that comes from the French environner, “to surround”) is more than water, land, and air; it is the sum total of our surroundings. It includes all of the biotic factors, or living things, with which we interact. It also includes the abiotic factors, or nonliving things, with which we interact. Our environment includes the continents, oceans, clouds, and ice caps you can see in the photo of Earth from space, as well as the animals, plants, forests, and farms that comprise the landscapes around us. In a more inclusive sense, it also encompasses our built
