WHAT IS ENVIRONMENT?
•Why is it crucial?
•Crucial for who/what?
•Whose is it & who has responsibilities over it?
•Theory/concepts on Environment, Ecology, Ecosystem
So the environment has the:
-physical and chemical components; & living organisms
-Both are essential for the well-being of human species and earth as a whole, supplying humanity with indispensable and irreplaceable services, such as direct resources (renewable and non-renewable) in: wood, sand, stones etc for construction
-food, medicines, clothing materials etc
-Sun, water etc
Living system also provide functional services like maintaining the balance mix of gases, generating and preserving soils, recomposing of waste, restoring disturbed system, control pests, cycling of nutrients, and pollinating crops.Thus human existence as we know is highly dependent on maintaining the living environment and the interactions between living organisms and the physical/chemical components of earth.
