The environment
is a broad topic. Here, we take a look at how technology affects our
natural environment. The natural environment has many aspects.
Anything that humans did not create is part of the natural environment.
This includes land, air, water, animals and other forms of life. Humans
have drastically affected the natural environment through the creation of
cars, and other technologies, the development of land and the consumption
of natural resources. While is seems that our technological developments
have led to environmental degredation, we have also begun to look for technologies
that can help improve environmental quality.
