HEI - Adapt
* This is the most difficult way! It means leaving the environment unchanged.
* Environmentalists, especially those concerned with preserving the wilderness, like to leave the air, water, and land alone. Tourism relies on preserving things as they are.
* People must adjust their lifestyles (clothing, housing, sports) to adapt to the environment in which they live.
* How can climate/weather affect the settlement of people and how they live?? Give an example.
