Examine the growth of environmental awareness as a consequence of these global interactions.
Human activity always uses the natural resources that the planet has to offer. Whether it is wood, oil, or other raw materials, all of this is used to aid in the growth of human society. However, even though these may benefit humankind greatly, many activities can take their toll on the planet. Factories, automobiles, fertilizers, chemical wastes are among the few things that cause the surrounding environment to degrade. Such factors led to today's problems such as global warming, melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels. Initially, humans were oblivious to why the Earth's condition was deteriorating, but with the fields of science coming into play, that is when humanity started to realize how it happens and how grave the matter is.
Today, humanity is taking steps to live life in a more mutual manner with nature. There are the inceptions of environmentalist groups, bans on certain materials, and revisions of daily procedures to ensure that the planet does not die. People are becoming aware of how the environment that they once took for granted actually helps them survive. If nature dies, humanity dies. Though there may be the burning of fossil fuels, among many things, at least humans are made aware of the consequences of even their tiniest actions.
