Impact Of Environment On The Environment

Humans continue to affect the environment, mostly badly, but they have been working on mending the problems that they created. Staying on top of the food chain for a long period of time is a huge challenge that the human race has accomplished. Even with our advancement in technology, manipulation of the environment, and our continued spot on top of the food chain, humans continue to be a reactive species, and this can be changed, even though it is unlikely that this will happen. Only when a issue directly affects humans will they react to the problem, and it has been this way for hundreds of years. People have created many issues with their environment, but there have been attempts to fix the issues that they have brought into creation.

We,

People have only started being a very destructive species recently. When factories started being created, along with cities, pollution, and humans tearing down animal habitats, was when we became at our most destructive. However, this can be somewhat managed. For example, as shown in the first Strange Days on Planet Earth, our transportation around the world has made it possible for various species to travel around the world and destroy other species. But it is possible the contain this issue. To do this, people should filter the water that gets pulled into boats to weigh them down. This would help reduce the number of aquatic invasive species. Water species would no longer be washed into the ballast and dropped into other water bodies. Another way to solve this growing issue is to check crates before they are shipped around the world to to make sure there are no unwelcome passengers aboard trying to escape their home into other regions. Also, another option is to require a permit to transport both animals and plants to regions where they don’t belong. But people will only react to issues when they starts to affect themselves. People have a history of

An example of this would be when, as told in Strange Days on Planet Earth Part Four, people started to care about the effects of chemicals in water in humans after some people started being dramatically affected, like when children were born with birth defects, or people got sick, and sometimes died. However, a few people have started to be more proactive than reactive. For example, people like the ones spoken about in Strange Days on Planet Earth Part Three started to help the animals trapped on the islands in Lake Guri, which were made as a result of a flood. The animals were trapped on trees slightly above water, and on small islands with barely enough food to sustain them. The people helped get them to safety, and therefore were being proactive, because the issue of animals being trapped on islands and trees did not affect them. Changing the ways of how people react to problems is possible, but given human history, it would be a very long and difficult
