Environment, humans and wastage
We have been exploiting coal, petroleum for our needs by digging and mining the earth for decades.
Most of the extraction of petroleum is done in the name of storage for future needs.
In future, if technology reverts to hydrogen fuels this petroleum stored might go waste.
Also instead of natural methods, we use coal for power generation.
This coal once dug leaves huge cavities in the earth's surface.
These cavities can be troublesome in times of floods and can also be the cause of earthquakes.
Also, we have been wasting many resources including soils and water.

Environment, humans and excess use of commodities
We use many commodities even when we don't need to.
We tend to own a several pairs of leather shoes, purses, belts etc.
All of them are made of skin and hides of animals.
Many animals like cows, buffaloes, ox, pig are killed for their skin though not for food.
This way the unlimited desire for commodities is, in fact, causing a great pain and suffering to animals.
Even the tigers, elephants are killed in large numbers for their hide, nails, and tusks in the name of decorative items.
Thus, human greed for more is causing them pain and will lead to their extinction in a few years.

Environment, humans and deforestation
Deforestation and widespread destruction of trees and plants in the name of expansion and urbanization drastically effect the environment around.
Even we can see that there are some companies building holiday resorts in the deepest woods in the world.
Thus we are exploiting the nature and environment beyond the safe limits.
We can see wild animals getting into villages and attacking humans.
Deforestation is decreasing the forest area and endangering the lives of wild animals.
They have no place to hide, no proper lakes or ponds for drinking water etc.
Hence animals die due to dehydration, starvation, and even accidents.

Environment, humans and technology
Though technology is making lives of humans easier and comfortable, it poses a great threat to the environment.
The threat is due to pollution, radiation hazards, exploitation of natural resources etc.
Radiation hazard is increasing day by day due use of mobile phones and Wi-Fi around us.
Hence we can notice that many small birds and insects like honey bees are not found around these days.
Even governments are promising to give free Wi-Fi without realizing its harmful effects.
Wi-Fi reduces the use of wired internet connectivity.
But it has untoward effects on the humans and environments. If you wish to know the harsh effects, sit in a library or conference room with Wi-Fi enabled inside. You will noticeafter a while stomach acidity or a headache.

Environment, humans and non-veg diets
Humans digestive tract is a long one like that of the herbivorous animal.
While that of the gut of carnivorous animals is small & less unfolded.
This indicates that humans are suitable for vegetable diet.
Even evolution theory says humans are from monkeys which are herbivores.
But interestingly most of the human population relies on the non-veg diet.
This reliance on the non-veg diet is expensive in terms of environment. e.g., to grow a hen of a kilo weight we need many kilos of wheat. Instead, a kilo of wheat is sufficient for a diet of more than two individuals.
So we grow animals for food at the cost of many kilos of herbal diet.
This requires growing cereals in many acres of land by use of manures, pesticides etc. which is again polluting nature.
Similarly, we kill many birds, deer and other mild animals from the forest for sake of diet. This decreases their population drastically and is a cause of extinction.

Environment, humans and pollution
Humans contribute to air pollution, water, sound, radiation, light and even soil pollution.
This is due to many of the human activities like travel, power generation, industrial waste dumped into rivers, polyethylene waste, artificial methods used in agriculture, cell phones, wifi etc.
This pollution is harmful not only to humans but also to animals and plants around.
Hence we can see that there is an extinction of many types of birds, plants, marine animals etc. We can even notice many animals die due to consumption of polyethylene covers. This polyethylene cover pollution is the result of litter by human use of poly bags.
Also, carbon emission is increased due to growth in vehicles and leading air, water and soil pollution.
