From earliest times, people have changed their environments. How have people today changed their environment. Discuss both the good and the bad.

From earliest times, people have changed their environments. How have people today changed their environment. Discuss both the good and the bad.

From the beginning of time, people have always been eager to upgrade and change their way of life. This could be anything from the material of the basket they store food in to the color on their kitchen walls. While we are eager to change, the impacts of our upgrades have in many ways changed our planet and the environment. Although the upgrades have made life much simpler, it has taken a huge toll on the planet.

Although some of the changes we make have killed off some of our environment, not all of it is bad. From an early time people have discovered that when you grow crops, some of the seeds will naturally fall off and re-plant itself. People then knew to leave some of their crops during the harvest so that when the seeds fall, they can depend on those instead of killing more crops. Another great change is that people have discovered natural fertilizers to keep soil healthy for years and years. They can use the same fields instead of re-plowing off new land every year and killing all of the natural plants. early civilizations also molded their houses out of dry clay of mud instead of cutting down trees as timber for houses or killing animals to use the skin as tents.

Although not everything we do kills the planet, the way we are living today is destroying out environment. People use to live in small houses made of dry mud or clay. Today we made larger houses using valuble timber. Another change we have made for the worst is our food industry. We no longer take only what we need, but we buy in massive and un-natural amounts. In order to keep up with our many demands, the food industry is genetically enhancing our food to that it grows, lays, milks, ect. twice as fast and twice as much. This has also caused and unnatural increase in cow population. We bread so many cows for hamburgers that they are now the worlds second most populated animal. One last change that humans have made for the worst is our need for spaces. As people decided that everyone should have a house with a yard and a fence to block everyone out, cities expanded. As the cities expanded we developed ways to get around more conveniently. Cars, plains, and other forms of transportation have taken a huge tool on the environment. The wast we are making is getting so bad that we are developing holes in our ozone. Although the changes make life more efficient for us it is taking its toll on the environment.

We have come up with many changes that have taken their toll on the environment. Although not all the changes we make are bad, there are still enough un- earth friendly changes that soon the entire face of the earth could change. As we move on through history, we will continue to make changes, hopefully in the future they will be more environmentally friendly.
