Our habits of production and consumption are linked to pollution and waste. However, in a world where must of our economic growth is intimately linked with the environment and its natural resources, and as humanity is realizing that our actions are destroying our earth, the environmental health of nature, rivers, and oceans have never been so important.

Agriculture also plays a big role in the pollution of the environment, for example, chicken farms, specifically, chicken manure and how that poultry waste can create pollution (“Poisoned Waters”). Last, but not least, in many developing countries, the wastewater system is really bad because there is a lack of adequate urban planning, and then when trash is throwing in the water, it doesn’t receive the proper treatment. Consequently, this water kills animals and it’s more favorable for diseases and …show more content…

We need nature to survive, and by “using” nature, we are responsible for keeping it alive.
