ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Many of the environmental issues today relate to humans over use of finite resources for economic
development. As a species, humans tend to regard the environment as a never ending source of
materials and energy.
Healthy ecosystems and environments are necessary to the survival of humans and other organisms.
Ways of reducing negative human impact are environmental resources management, environmental
protection, and environmentally- friendly chemical engineering.

Human Overpopulation
 occurs when the ecological footprint of a human population in a specific geographical
location exceeds the carrying capacity of the earth.
Intensive Farming
 is a kind of agriculture where a lot of capital and labor are used to increase the yield that can
be obtained per area.
Exhaustive Land Use
 It involves exhaustive management and modification of natural environment or wilderness
into built environment such as settlements and semi-natural habitats such as arable fields,
arrangements, activities, and inputs that people undertake in a certain land cover type.
