THE ENVIRONMENT IS A FUNCTIONING LIVE SYSTEM

Environment is the sum of total conditions and surroundings of man in which he inhabits, interacts and influences and is influenced. It is a comprehensive term.

No organism can live in isolation. It depends on its natural environment.

The environment which comprises of a network of living and non living components, constantly interact and are in a state of balance. Any change in one of the components or processes triggers off a chain of reactions over a period of time and space.

e.g. Increase in the use of fossil fuels has led to high emission of Carbon Monoxide and Lead Oxide which leads to depletion of the ozone layer which controls UV radiation. This in turn causes skin cancer.

It is thus important to understand the need for natural systems and their inter dependence on each other. Only then will we be able to respect the environment which looks after all our needs.

Thus the environment is a functioning live system.
