As the human population continues to grow, use technology, and consume resources, they often modify the ecosystems around them. In which of the following ways can humans counteract negative influences they might have on the environment?

A. Humans can use public transportation systems.
B. Humans can use cleaner alternate energy sources.
C. Humans can recycle or reuse materials.
D. all of these

An environment's biology includes both abiotic factors like atmosphere, water, soil, sunlight and temperature; and biotic factors which are living components of the ecosystem. These factors lead to a gradual change of an ecosystem over time; however, humans drastically impact the environment through over-exploitation and pollution- we disrupt normal abiotic and biotic interactions. Furthermore, human impact can lead to population die-offs and extinction events, along with food and water scarcity.

Humans impact on the environment can manifest as:

overpopulation- natural resources are over used, and habitats cannot support human communities;
urban communities also expand by cutting down trees in deforestation- this leads to erosion and flooding;
burning fossil fuels- this reduces air quality and adds carbon dioxide to the environment leading to global warming;
pollution- adding contaminants to the atmosphere, waterways, soil etc.
