Population: Human population is growing exponentially and other animal species population is decreasing exponentially. When human population grows, we build more houses, drive more cars, build more factories for work and use more natural recourses. This causes the destruction of natural forrest(home of other species).
Pollution and Littering: All the population growth triggers pollution growth. There is a tremendous amount of pollution due to the stuff human being use, and all the littering human being do. The sources of pollution are endless. Littering a key contributor. The garbage pollutes drinkable and no drinkable water(home to other species). Also the garbage can easily be flammable, which is another polluting form.
Hole in Ozone Layer, Greenhouse Effect, Global Warming: The population led to pollution and littering. The pollution leads to the hole in the ozone layer. The pollution goes to our atmosphere, and now there is so much pollution it made a hole in the ozone layer.(Because of the hole, we get direct contact of the suns ray's causing cancer)Since pollution is increasing, the hole is getting bigger. The hole in the Ozone layer causes the greenhouse effect, which is the heat getting into the Earth's atmosphere is more than the heat leaving the atmosphere. Basically the heat that comes does not leave. The greenhouse effect leads to global warming, which is over heating of the Earth. The ice is melting causing the water level of the oceans to rise. Since all of this is increasing it will get more dangerous in the future.
Population → Pollution → Hole In Ozone Layer → Greenhouse Effect → Global Warming
Population → Pollution → Hole In Ozone Layer → Greenhouse Effect → Global Warming
Burning of Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil or natural gas, formed from the remains of dead plants and animals. In common dialogue, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived from animal or plant sources. These are sometimes known instead as mineral fuels.The utilization of fossil fuels has enabled large-scale industrial development and largely supplanted water-driven mills, as well as the combustion of wood or peat for heat. Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radiative forcing and contributes to global warming.
Now these fossil fuels are running out, so the world is desperately trying to find a new source of energy.

Habitat Destruction: Habitat destruction is the process in which natural habitat is rendered unable to support the species present. In this process, the organisms that previously used the site are displaced or destroyed, reducing biodiversity. With more population more habitats are destroyed. Global Warming. Pollution, etc. all destroy habitats of other species.
Everyone, including YOU, can help conserve our environment, our world from these dangers. Although there are so many things we can do to help here are some small, very impactful, ways to help:
1. Create a compost heap in your garden or use a compost bin. This helps recycle food waste and other biodegradable materials.
2. When going shopping, make it a habit to bring your own eco-bags and say no to plastic bags as much as possible.
3. Join as many tree planting trips as you can.
4. If possible, try carpooling to work, business presentations, events, or even to run errands. Think of ways you can reduce the number of trips you make using your car.
5. Reduce emissions from cars by walking or cycling. These are not just great alternatives to driving, they are also great exercise.
6. Use public transport, when you can, for everyday travel.
7. Send your drinking bottles, paper, used oil, old batteries and used tires to a depot for recycling or safe disposal; all these very cause
serious pollution.
8. Do not pour chemicals and waste oil on to the ground or into drains leading to bodies of water.
9. Wherever possible, separate biodegradable and recyclable waste from non-biodegradable and work to reduce the amount of non-biodegradable or recyclable waste.
10. Reduce the amount of meat you eat, or even better become vegetarian.
