Solution
Environment :
Human beings are the greatest danger to the environment because humans overexploit the environment and do not take any major steps for their conservation.
Effect of human activities on the environment :
Soil erosion: Soil erosion is caused by wind or extreme weather conditions, but it can also be caused by human activities such as overgrazing, overcropping, and deforestation. Overgrazing happens when farmers keep too many animals on their property, such as sheep, cattle, or goats.
Climate change
Pollution: Human activities are responsible for the majority of air pollution. Increased fossil fuel burning from automobiles, factories, and power plants, for example, releases enormous amounts of air pollutants like carbon monoxide, ozone, and nitrous oxides into the environment.
Due to overexploitation of the environment by humans, new diseases are spreading and degradation of the environment is taking place.
