Write a 150-word essay describing the effect of people's activities on the environment in the region.

The environment we are surrounded by can fulfill most of our needs. Humans are part of the environment, and the activities we perform on a daily basis affect the environment in countless ways. There are many people who claim that there are positive and negative impacts on these activities; however, I will focus on the negative effects our everyday activities have on the environment  

One negative way we affect the environment every day is through fossil fuel combustion from motor vehicles. This fossil fuel combustion is one of the responsible of air pollution worldwide. Although there are many people who are aware of the negative consequences of carbon dioxide emissions, there some who still take their car to a very short journey.

On the other hand, it is clear that we live in a consumption society, which means there is always a new technology, fashion we would like to pursuit. This ambition of buying goods create overexploitation of resources.  

People impact the environment in numerous of ways. Poor sanitation and contaminated water are linked to transmission of diseases causing diarrhea as well as cholera. Emissions of greenhouse gases from combustion of fossil fuels are associated with the global warming of Earth's climate. The distributions of plant and animal species will continue to change as rising temperatures alter ecosystems and amplify existing environmental concerns.
