                   People often say the world is going to end in near future! What if this is true? May be not today,
                   but someday it may. Unfortunately, this is not something one can simply joke about, if the natural
                   environment depletes at such a speed.

                   As the population is increasing day by day and as the level of comfort and lifestyle is going up,
                   there is more and more consumption of natural resources resulting in depletion of these resources
                   and  environment as well. Our society is broadening and increasing its need despite being careless
                   towards protecting the environment. It is causing harmful effects on the natural environment to
                   fulfil the needs of human society.
                   Environment consists of the resources and conditions that nature provides to human. It includes
                   the earth surface with all its natural resources including land and water, mountains and plains,
                   minerals  plants  animals  climatic conditions  etc.  nvironment can be classified as natural and
                   artificial. Natural environment consists of all the living and non-living things. It encompasses
                   the interaction of all living beings, climate and natural resources. People convert and change
                   the natural products or minerals according to themselves in the course of development by the
                   construction of buildings  roads  rail lines  etc.  his can be said as artificial environment that can
                   be framed as the society where we live. A natural environment is healthy and it enables a diverse
                   ecosystem.

                   Ecosystem is a system which consists of all plants, animals and humans who are dependent on
                   each other. The relationship between living organisms and their environment forms an ecosystem
                   and our society is the most important and integral part of environment.
                    he interaction and interference of society with the environment sometimes affects the ecological
                   balance in the nature. The continuous technological advancements in our society have led to
                   decrease in the quality of healthy life. With increase in population and short-term development
                   activities, the industrialisation and intensive agriculture have been increased which are destroying
                   natural resources such as water, mineral, petroleum products, wood, soil and many more.
