• 8. How do humans affect the environment?
• Rapid growth in the human population and an increase in the standard of living means that: - raw materials are rapidly being used up - more waste is produced - more pollution will be caused.
• Humans reduce the amount of land available for other animals and plants by building, quarrying, farming and dumping waste.
• More waste is being produced which, unless properly handled, may pollute water, air and land.
• Living organisms can be used as indicators of pollution: - lichens can be used as air pollution indicators - invertebrate animals can be used as water pollution indicators.
• Loss of forest leads to reduction in biodiversity. Some of the organisms that are lost may have been of future use.
• Improving the quality of life without compromising future generations is known as sustainable development. Planning is needed at local, regional and global levels to manage sustainability.
