WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENT 

Image result for how to protect the environmentThe term 'environment' is widely used and has a broad range of definitions, meanings and interpretations. What does the term 'environment' mean? In popular usage, for some people, the term 'environment' means, simply, 'nature': in other words, the natural landscape together with all of its non-human features, characteristics and processes. To those people, the environment is often closely related to notions of wilderness and of pristine landscapes that have not been influenced - or, at least, that have been imperceptibly influenced - by human activities. However, for other people, the term 'environment' includes human elements to some extent. Many people would regard agricultural and pastoral landscapes as being part of the environment, whilst others are yet more inclusive and regard all elements of the earth's surface - including urban areas - as constituting the environment. Thus, in popular usage, the notion of the 'environment' is associated with diverse images and is bound up with various assumptions and beliefs that are often unspoken - yet may be strongly held. All of these usages, however, have a central underlying assumption: that the 'environment' exists in some kind of relation to humans. Hence the environment is, variously, the 'backdrop' to the unfolding narrative of human history, the habitats and resources that humans exploit, the 'hinterland' that surrounds human settlements, or the 'wilderness' that humans have not yet domesticated or dominated.

ENVIRONMENT POLLUT ION Environmental pollution  is the unfavorable alteration of our surroundings, wholly or largely as a  byproduct  of man’s actions, through direct or indirect effects of the changes in the energy pattern, radiation levels, and chemical and physical constitution and abundance of organisms. Environmental pollution is a global problem and is common to both developed as well as  developing countries , which attracts the attention of human beings for its severe long-term consequences. The decline in  environmental quality  as a consequence of pollution is evidenced by loss of  vegetation ,  biological diversity , excessive amounts of harmful chemicals in the ambient atmosphere and in  food grains , and growing risks of  environmental accidents  and threats to  life support systems . Pollution is viewed from different angles by different people but is commonly agreed to be the outcome of urban-industrial and technological revolution and rapacious and speedy  exploita

WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT

. WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENT Environment is everything that is around us. It can be living or non-living things. It includes physical, chemical and other natural forces. The environment is something you are very familiar with. It's everything that makes up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the earth—the air we breathe, the water that covers most of the earth's surface, the plants and animals around us, and much more. It is the natural world, as a whole or in a particular geographical area, especially as affected by human activity. If you are trying to know about our environment, then you should also know this: In recent years, scientists have been carefully examining the ways that people affect the environment. They have found that we are causing air pollution, deforestation, acid rain, and other problems that are dangerous both to the earth and to ourselves. These days, when you hear people talk about “the environment”, they are often referr
