Human impact on nature

1. 
   Look at these photos “Impact on nature”. Why is our environment important? How do humans affect the environment? Is human’s impact on nature always negative?
   

2. 
   Read these comments made by people from different countries. Do you know who thinks this way? Do you agree with any of the statements? Why or why not?
   

Human influence of earth can be positive and negative, benign or catastrophic. Recognizing this responsibility is the first step each of us can take to transform the human footprint and save the last of the world (Dr. Eric W. Sanderson, London)

There are many useful ways of measuring anthropogenic impact. We can measure ecological footprints by an assessment of some share of global resources that are needed to support a particular type of lifestyle. We can measure specific things such as our individual carbon footprint or individual water footprint (Dr. Yamomoto, Japan )

There is no physical substance humans require more than freshwater: without water, we can only survive a few hellish days. While pollution and overuse has threatened many of the world’s drinking water sources, nature has an old-fashioned solutions, at least to pollutions ( Dr. Adbumuminov, Uzbekistan)
