What are some of the effects of human activities on the environment?

It is undeniable that human activities have exerted several environmental

problems which adversely affects a great number of species . First of all, exhaust
emissions from manufacturing factories, consisting of harmful particles
suspended in the air as well as heavier materials that remain on the surface are
contaminating the environment at an alarming rate. In addition, the increase in
human population comes along with a huge quantity of waste, which
contaminates the Earth and pollutes rivers and oceans.
What can we do to reduce our negative impacts on the environment?
Since several environmental problems have been caused by humans’ forces, we
need to act responsibly to reduce the damage that we are doing to the Earth,
which means individuals should be responsible to lower down pollution level in
their surroundings. They can take buses and subways or other means of public
transportation rather than driving, which could reduce the amount of exhaust
fumes from vehicles. Also, people should purchase reusable products and
recycle as much as possible to avoid releasing too much waste. For example,
Vietnamese people are recommended to use reusable or paper bags when going
shopping instead of plastic bags to cut down on plastic bags consumption.
