THE ENVIRONMENT
Environment: the total of our surroundings • All the things around us with which we interact: • Living things • Animals, plants, forests, fungi, etc. • Non-living things • Continents, oceans, clouds, soil, rocks • Our built environment • Buildings, human-created living centers • Social relationships and institutions
Humans and the world around us • Humans depend completely on the environment for survival. – Enriched and longer lives, increased wealth, health, mobility, leisure time • But natural systems have been degraded – Pollution, erosion, and species extinction – Environmental changes threaten long-term health and survival.
Natural resources: vital to human survival substances and energy sources needed for survival • Perpetually available: sunlight, wind, wave energy • Renewable over short periods of time: timber, water, soil, wildlife? • These can be destroyed • Non-renewable resources: Oil, coal, minerals • These can be depleted
Water Resource Limits • In 1950, people used half of accessible water • Are now dependent on dams • Pollution loses 33% of potential water
Less than 1% of the total water on the Earth
Deforestation • Deforestation has not only resulted in irreversible damage to the natural habitat of many wildlife species, but has also resulted in loss of biodiversity and increase in aridity.
