Our environment is made up of the land, water, air, and ecosystems that bring about life on Earth. It is our home, and without the resources it provides, humanity would have never had the opportunity to become what it is today. Modern-day society continues to rely on the environment for growth and development. How we care for it will continue to tie intimately into the longevity of our survival.
