We produce tons of pollution (Water & Air)

We have overpopulated (more people - more food needed)

We have been deforesting forest and destroying habits for the animals and plants to live and causing extinction and loss of habit zones for animals

We have caused Acid Rain which is Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

We have made Global warming with industrial items and structures (Oil Rigs, Factories, Gas Powered Vehicles, Coal) causes Ozone depletion.
