The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things that occur naturally on Earth and the interactions between living species, climate, weather, and natural resources that affect humans. There are three trends impacting the natural environment: growing shortages of raw materials, increased pollution, and increased government intervention in natural resource management. Human activities like noise, air, water, and land pollution are harming the environment through exhaust fumes, fossil fuel burning, sewage, waste dumping, and more.
