Most of us don’t usually think about how our daily actions impact the world around us. A few plastic bags here, a water bottle there. It’s difficult to visualize any immediate changes to our surroundings. However, when you look at the fact that the average person generates more than four pounds of waste every day, you can imagine that it would start to add up. These shocking photographs show the horrifying results of increasing population growth and endless waste generation, and they are absolutely jaw-dropping.

How is this humans fault?

I'm not sure but I think it's due to global warming since polar bears survive better on cold iced seas.

Here you can see extensive deforestation on Vancouver Island in Canada. Humans have destroyed an immeasurable amount of natural habitats and ecosystems throughout history.

We would have ended up destroying the world Giesu comes.

From the picture, there is enough ice for the Bear to chill, it's just starving, a condition that happens to humans too.

I get the point your thread is making but let's try not to put all the blame on humans, we're simply doing what we have to to survive and we are also a victim of nature too.

Humans are destructive...


Everybody believes this, either directly or indirectly, but where will the civilization be without this so called industries causing greenhouse effects
