People use different kinds of natural reserves like timber, metals, and oil in the day to day lives. There
is also a dependence on food and water for a continued existence. People also require energy for
various reasons such as cooking at home and industrial purposes. From clothes, transport services,
constructions, electronic devices and other items that are used all need different resources so as to be
produced.
2) Deforestation
One exacting predicament that is a result of too much misuse of natural resources and also
representing human environmental interaction is deforestation. It happens when forests get cut down
and the trees are not replaced or permitted to grow back. Countries such as Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil,
America, Congo, and India have cleared a lot of its forests for economic and agricultural purposes to
meet the food demand, fuel and building materials.
3) Energy resources
Humans extract oil and gas for a lot of uses. However, the extraction of oil and gas has a lot of
negative effects to the ecosystem. Oil spills have huge financial effects; they interrupt transportation
and injure inhabitants, when birds get oiled they lose their potential of hunting for food enabling their
survival.
5) Water resources
The use of water resources highly signifies human environmental interaction. Water has a lot of uses,
from domestic to agricultural and in industrial processes. The relative quantities of the three groups
differ in various parts of the universe. However, agriculture generally uses the largest quantity of
water. The rising demand in water is leading to unsustainable use of water sources.

Jawab: Technological innovations promise transformation of our lives and economies, but innovations
can concurrently destabilize our natural environment. As just one example, hydraulic fracking
facilitates the extraction of otherwise inaccessible fossil fuel and has been credited with catalyzing the
economies of a number of US states following financial crises. Nevertheless, the staggering costs of
air pollution, drinking water contamination, and global warming exacerbation are unacceptable.
