Environment = all the living & nonliving things around us




Renewable Resources = replenish over short periods (naturally)
Nonrenewable Resources = used up faster than replenished by natural processes

Nuclear energy = more nonrenewable

Naturally occurring processes “just doin’ its thing”
● Water purified by sediment/plants that humans drink
○ Degraded by human bad self-sabotage
● SERVICE TO HUMANS


Consumption
Ecological footprint = environmental impact of a person/population

Overshoot = surpassing Earth’s capacity to support life
