Environmental Science

When thinking of ways that humans had altered and continue to alter the environment, I think of things like fossil fuels. For example, a majority of the people in the United States, use cars as their form of transportation to get where they need to be. By people using cars it burns fossil fuels from the vehicle that is then released into our air and corrupting our atmosphere. It's not good for us either because our cities are contaminated with not fresh air. This leads us to sustainability. My interpretation of the word sustainability is when people/ organisms do whatever is best for them to survive. And the Eco-footprint helps measure the resources that are needed to produce and consume for the consumer. Some systems that are incorporated in the environment that has an affect no organisms are systems like the water cycle and the sexual reproduction in correlates to sustainability. Depending on how much sexual reproduction is occurring in the world determines how much necessities are needed for the consumers resulting to us using the Eco- footprint to help determine how many resources are needed to sustain a population or an individual. It's a giant Circle In my benchmark, We gave information about the fashion industry, in which was not a sustainable business because of the damage that it causes against the world. The atmosphere is affected by the amount of clothes that are wasted and incinerated therefore polluting our air. And the hydrosphere is affected by how much water is wasted to make clothing material. Around 200-500 pounds of water is used to make a pair of denim jeans. Just one pair. So imagine how much water is wasted when we think of all the people on the planet. This just ins't a sustainable business https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1IMHqkCtxxCoWh0d44WeDSoP30QH1yYNknIKXHtZIiWI/edit
