Environmental change is defined as a change or disturbance of the environment by natural ecological processes

Life has to be adapted to the conditions of its environment. Temperature, light, humidity, soil nutrients, etc., all influence any species, within any environment. However, life by its activity in turn modifies, in various forms, the conditions themselves. Some long term modifications along the history of our planet have been significant, such as the incorporation of oxygen in the atmosphere

Why is it happening?

People started to use non-renewable resources such as fuel, coals and minerals instead of the renewable resources because of the obvious reason non-renewable resources helped them a lot especially in transportation and in machineries. The demand of these resources increase. So what will the producers do? Of course they will also increase their “harvest” of fuel, coals, and minerals so they will earn more. And what will they use it for, for the future of their family. But come to think of it, did they even think of our future. Well, I don’t have anything against it because what they have discovered is very useful in our daily living today. Because we want an easy life we just past the consequences on our environment.
