There are many ways in which human beings have could create changes towards the earth’s environment. Currently, humans are involved with a considerable amount of changes to the planet, stemming from large differences like carbon dioxide emissions or smaller scale changes like creating houses.

Without the equilibrium, there will continue to be world
