In no more than seven (7) sentences, evaluate the contribution of the human activities to the
destruction of the environment.
Numerous effects of humans on the physical world exist. Examples include overcrowding, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation.
Such human actions might have unfavorable effects. The environment can also become harmful due to other factors. Changes like this have
contributed to climate change, land erosion, poor air quality, and drinkable water shortages. These unfavorable effects might have an impact
on human nature, leading to large-scale migrations or conflicts over access to clean water. Numerous human activities such as overpopulation,
pollution, the burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation have an adverse effect on the physical environment. Climate change, soil erosion, poor
air quality, and undrinkable water have all been brought on by changes like these. These unfavorable effects may alter human behavior and
lead to large-scale migrations or conflicts over access to clean water.

Integrate and assess how effective the national government’s efforts are in protecting our environment from
overexploitation which is caused by man’s greed.
Less efficient than the market. For instance, when a friend complained that the oceans were being over fished, I explained that this
would only increase the price of fish until it reached equilibrium with the amount of naturally occurring fish in the ocean, reflecting the supply
of fish vs. the decreased demand for more expensive fish; since fisherman would only bring back fewer fish, for the cost of sending boats out to
catch them, this would simply increase the price of fish. In contrast, excessive environmental exploitation will result in product price declines
due to increased supply vs constant demand, which will result in financial loss for the exploiters. At the same time, as natural supply declines,
demand will also decline. The "Oilpocalypse," or the idea that the world would shut down if the oil wells ran dry, is a common disaster scenario.
Economics demonstrates that there are currently other resources that are almost as useful as oil, but oil is just slightly more expensive for its
specific purposes. Natural resources cannot therefore be over exploited, barring some form of insider trading, because it would not be
worthwhile.
