There are numerous ways in which people can have both positive and negative effects on the environment. Some common negative effects include pollution from activities such as industrial production, transportation, and agriculture, deforestation, habitat destruction, overfishing, and the emission of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. On the other hand, people can also have positive effects on the environment through actions such as conservation efforts, sustainable resource management, renewable energy development, and habitat restoration projects. Ultimately, the impact that people have on the environment depends on the individual and collective choices and behaviors of society as a whole.
