Some of the things that humans are affecting are Climate Change, Depletion of Ozone Layer, Pollution, Deforestation and Extinction of Species. Overcrowding, urbanisation and population growth Overcrowding can affect our planet more than some people think, Overcrowding means more people this means we use more natural resources this means the earth in the end isn’t going to have enough resources to support the growing population.

Agriculture receives 80% of the Colorado River supply, and much of this is wasted in inappropriate crop choices, e.g. cotton. As demand for water continues to rise, it is more than likely that a range of stakeholders will become angry at their wastage if it means their own water supply is increasing in cost or even cut. This is likely to include dwellers of highly populated cities environmentalists, recreationalists. Another major potential clash is within US Federal Governments – who are under pressure from their own politicians not to change water allocations.
Manchester DBQ Throughout history, major revolutions have created conflicts in modernizing cities by rapid population growth and other contributors. Over the course of the nineteenth century, the growth of Manchester raised concerns about its suffering population and the unclean city, but it also spread increasing industry across Europe; all of which gained reactions of pity, rage, and prosperity. Manchester’s population suffered both from poor labor conditions and lack of rights, which drove them to pursue what they deserve with rage.

Sudden population growth, crowding, and lack of municipal services made urban problems more serious than they had been in the past. Inadequate facilities for sewage disposal, air and water pollution, and diseases made urban life unhealthy and contributed to high infant mortality and short life expectancy (mainly for the poor). 3. Reports of the horrors of slum life led to municipal reforms that began to alleviate the ills of urban life after the mid-nineteenth century. B.
The Industrial Revolution caused urbanization to develop abruptly. The growing industrialized cities drew the poor for employment, but did not have the means to support the mass surge in population. Inhabitants were faced with water, sewage, and garbage disposal problems leaving unsanitary living conditions amongst themselves.
