Consequences
Learn
about some of the enviromental consequences of doing certain
things.
Environmental
Consequences
People
all over the world, every day, change the environment. Most
things they do have some environmental consequences.
Some
Bad Consequences
Cutting
down trees gives the world less oxygen if the same amount
you cut down isn't somewhere in the world replanted. If you
hunt animals, less of that animal is in the world, and you
might be contributing to making that animal extinct. If you
dump a whole bunch of illegal toxins in a lake it has a terrible
consequence by killing fish, microrganisms, and other lake
life. Also, even though it is not an environmental consequence,
if you get caught you get sent to jail.
Good
Consequences
There
are some things you do that provide good consequences, too.
Like when you plant a garden you are helping the environment
by adding more oxygen to the world and also are just making
it prettier. Also when you put up a bird feeder with food
in the winter you are helping starving birds get food. Or
when people help animals that fell out of a tree or got hurt
in some way they are contributing to helping more animals
be alive on our planet. Basically, most things we do on the
planet Earth have some environmental consequence.
