    Humans negatively impact the environment through overpopulation, pollution, fossil fuel use, and deforestation, triggering climate change, soil erosion, and water issues. To help address these problems, the document recommends three actions: recycling to reduce waste and pressure on raw materials; growing one's own garden to lessen environmental impacts from commercial food production; and planting more trees to improve air and water quality while combating climate change.

    Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution,

    burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate
    change, soil erosion, low air quality, and undrinkable water. These negative
    impacts can affect human behavior and can prompt mass migrations or battles over
    clean water. The first thing I can do to preserve and respect the rights of the
    environment is by recycling. Recycling is one the best thing we can do to promote
    sustainability. Recycling and buying products made with recycled materials has many
    far-reaching benefits. By cleaning up our house and recycling our old household
    trash, we instantly get a cleaner home and some extra cash. Buying products with
    recycled materials completes the loop. Recycling reduces pressure on raw materials,
    reduces mining and the fuel and other costs associated with extracting,
    transporting, and processing minerals. We also save valuable landfill space. The
    second is to grow our garden. The food we purchase from the market goes through a
    process where food is grown, transported, and stored before it can reach a
    supermarket's shelves. The food that comes on the shelves of a grocery store is not
    always produced through sustainable methods. We can reduce our carbon footprint and
    reduce negative environmental impacts by growing our food in our backyard. Third
    and last is to plant more trees. Planting more trees and plants has many
    ecological, economic, and social benefits. Trees improve the air quality of the
    place we live in by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen and give us food
    and shade. Trees also combat the greenhouse effects, reduce the pressure on heating
    and cooling, and save energy. Trees also protect us from climatic changes, natural
    disasters, and catastrophes.
