Humans effect on the Environment

Humans impact on the environment- definition Every living thing has an impact on its environment. Therefore a human impact on the environment is inevitable. By simply existing, all species - including ourselves - will imprint their mark on the world around them. What differentiates us from other species is our ability to greatly overburden our environment with very few limits.

Fort McMurray, Alberta-

Fort McMurray- Oil sands. In 2006 the Athabasca deposit was the only large oil sands reservoir in the world which was suitable for large-scale surface mining. This photo shows what is left after the surface mining..reservoirsurface mining
