Humans and Sustainability: An Overview

According to Tyler Miller, environmental science is a study of how the earths work, how we interact with the earth, and how to deal with the environmental problems.

When we first start reading about the environment, it comes to our mind several problems to sustain the natural resources such as deforestation and replanting them, the air pollution which affects the environment, killing the extinct animals. e.g., the animal "deer" is limited in the world, so killing this animal is a non-sustainable process. All these processes make a remarkable issue on the environment.

The most important step towards sustainability is to look for the most vital resource without which the creature does not survive. To help sustaining these natural resources, it is not only the responsibility of the government but also it is the responsibility of the human being. The responsibility of the government includes of issuing laws and regulations about deforestation and replantation of the trees in broad areas. The responsibility of the human being includes to avoid killing the extinct animals and the government should take an action on those people who goes against these laws. As the population is increasing the air pollution is increasing too due to the vehicles. The government should look over the problem of vehicle engines. Those vehicles which are affecting the air pollution should be inspected yearly and should be fined accordingly. So that the air pollution decreases. Those animals which are extinct on the Earth, the government should give special protection to those habitants.

In conclusion, the government and the human being both should work together to sustain the natural resources.
