Environmental Problems

So... Basically we must prevent our home to be destroyed by.... ourselves. As rational species that we are we shouldn’t throw trash away or burn anything, but we do... And that's what’s wrong here, some people try to fix this, other don’t care and keep destroying our world. One day, after the Human specie have destroyed the animal and natural habitats and being the unique specie in the world, alone, sick with pollution, they will remember those warnings about protecting the environment... But it will be too late...

Major causes of environmental problems are population growth, wasteful and unsustainable resource use, poverty, excluding the environmental costs of resource use from the market prices of goods and services, and trying to manage nature with insufficient knowledge.

People with different environmental worldviews often disagree about the seriousness of environmental problems and what we should do about them.
