Answer:

Alright.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A human-environment interaction that would benefit humans would be planting trees because trees supply humans with clean oxygen.

2. A human-environment interaction that would cause problems for humans would be cutting down trees and contaminating bodies of water. Because trees supply humans with clean oxygen, and water can be filtered which can humans drink.

3. A human-environment interaction that would benefit the environment would be planting trees, cleaning up oceans, and slowing down air pollution. Trees provide homes for animals, the ocean is home to millions of different species, and slowing down air pollution would help birds.

4. A human-environment interaction that would cause problems for the environment would be cutting down trees, killing creatures, and the use of pesticides. Trees play a big role in animal's lives, killing creatures like the Yellowstone wolves, could make elk populations rise, and the elk would eat everything, and pesticides not only kill bugs but also birds and small creatures.
