Unit Overview
We are dependent on the environment around us to produce oxygen, filter water, remove carbon dioxide from the air, produce all the food that we eat, recycle nutrients (for example the carbon cycle and water cycle), as well form new soils.
These are the benefits that humans receive from the world around us. What harm is human activity causing to our planet? What can be done to ensure that future generations of living organisms (plants, animals, and humans) have a safe and healthy environment to live?
