-Human/Environment Interaction:

Examples of how Humans Change the Environment

Examples of how the Environment “changes” Humans. (Causes us to behave in certain ways, build in certain ways…)

1. When people don’t pollute.

2. Recycling cans in school

3. Cut down trees for corn fields

4. When people are driving other people to school they are putting carbon dioxide in the air.

1. When the weather changes how my knees feel. Most of the times they start to bother me.

2. We insulate our houses

3. Metal roofs help the snow in the winter fall off.

4. We put snow tires on our cars so our cars can move in the snow.
