Question

Do your actions have an impact on the natural world? Do you think that impact is positive or negative?

Accepted Answer

All our actions have an impact on the natural world either directly or indirectly. The way we use natural resources, the way we develop technology, and the way we inhabit and occupy places, all these have a lasting impact on nature. The impact can be both negative and positive. For example, if we cut down trees indiscriminately to build factories, houses, etc, it would lead to the habitat destruction of the wildlife, deforestation, and as a result, disturb the balance of nature. If we use too much petrol, which is a natural resource, for automobiles, the environment will be polluted leading to many health issues in humans. On the other hand, if we use the resources judiciously without harming the environment, we can conserve them for future generations. From these examples, we can conclude that our actions can affect nature both positively and negatively.
