The environment is the nature and surroundings in which all plants, animals, humans and other living beings live and operate. Every living and non-living thing is related to the environment. Environment plays a major role in giving birth to a new life, in the growth of life, survival of the life and the overall well-being of any life. It provides us with fresh air that we breathe, water that we drink, food that we eat and almost all the resources for our survival.
The environment also provides us with several other natural resources that are very important. Natural resources are the resources that the environment gives us naturally without we create them. It includes sunlight, atmosphere, land, water, plants, animals, sea life, minerals, different species and everything that occurs naturally on earth. It provides us with the resources such as fuels, metals, and most forms of energy to use.
Yet we are exploiting environment with the activities that harm the environment and are overusing the resources. Human activities transform the natural environment into the human environment by constructing buildings, industries, firms and using the landscapes for development. It is vital to use natural resources carefully and avoid harming nature for a healthy and naturally wealthy life.
