Importance of Environment

Why environment is important?

According

to Vladimir Vernadsky, The simplest

explanation about why the environment matters is that, as humans, the environmentthe Earthis our home. It is where we live, breathe, eat, raise our children, etc. Our entire life support system is dependent on the well-being of all of the species living on earth.

All living organisms depend on the environment.

Environment as :

Food Chain- The sun provides light

and heat for plants. The plants are consumed by animals who are in turn consumed by other animals who may in turn, be consumed by humans. Or perhaps they are used for material, clothing, etc. Even insects like mosquitoes play a role and of course bees pollinate plants.

Ecosystem -Within the overall biosphere, or ecosystem, there are smaller ecosystems like the rainforests, marine ecosystems, the desert and the tundra. When any of these systems are off kilter, it impacts the entire planet. All of the environmental problems that exist have farreaching implications for the health of our planet and its inhabitants.

Threat

of Environmental Degradation - The deterioration of the

environment, often referred to as environmental degradation, threatens the earth's natural resources such as our clean water supply, fossil fuels for energy and food supply. Many of these resources are nonrenewable so when they run out we will be forced to find new alternatives.

Natural Beauty - Another reason why

the environment is so important is because it is a source of natural beauty. Unfortunately the planet is in danger. Many species of animals and plants are nearing distinction. Our clean water supply is at risk and more and more of our beautiful, open spaces are disappearing as new buildings and factories are built.
