Document Summary
Describe the relationship between impact on resources + technology. In todays world we can see that we need more and more resources to build new and better technology than before. There are a few exceptions but this is the general trend. The use of resources at this rate impacts immensely on the environment in a negative way as the humans are exploiting environment to get the resources to build new technology. Describe the 3 most important ways humans impact our environment + explain the repercussions (impacts) each has on society. Fishing too many fishes, too young fishes that could not reproduce are one of the main ways humans impact our environment. This explains the prices of seafood going up everywhere in the world, even the countries with an ocean beside them. Mining for resources is another way in which the humans are hurting the environment and causing it to decay at a faster rate.
