This lit cigarette is an example of air pollution. Although one cigarette is significantly less harmful to the environment than a large factory, multiple cigarettes daily from the millions of smokers around the world add up quickly. The harmful chemicals from cigarettes are transmitted not only to the smoker but to the surrounding environment as well.

Urban sprawl or suburban sprawl describes the expansion of human populations away from central urban areas into low-density, monofunctional and car dependent communities, in a process called suburbization s. In addition to describing a particular form of urbanization, the term also relates to the social and environmental consequences associated with this development.

Roads are a major contributor to habitat fragmentation because they divide large
landscapes into smaller patches and convert interior habitat into edge habitat. As
additional road construction and timber harvest activities increase habitat fragmentation
across large areas, the populations of some species may become isolated, increasing the
risk of local extirpations or extinctions

The soil bought at stores for agricultural purposes can lead to soil degradation and also soil bought for personal use like decoration.
Understand how the quality of soil declines and what causes this decline.

Soil degradation is the decline in soil quality caused by its improper use, usually for agricultural, pastural, industrial or urban purposes.

Soil degradation is a serious global environmental problem and may be exacerbated by climate change. It encompasses physical, chemical and biological deterioration. Examples of soil degradation include loss of organic matter, decline in soil fertility, decline in structural condition, erosion, adverse changes in salinity, acidity or alkalinity, and the effects of toxic chemicals, pollutants or excessive flooding.

Solid waste — the stuff we send down our chutes, discard at work and put on the curb every week — is a striking by-product of civilization. The average person in the United States throws away their body weight in rubbish every month. When waste management works well, we give it little thought: out of sight and, usually, quickly out of mind. Discarded materials are collected, some are recycled or composted, and most are landfilled or incinerated. But the global view is troubIn the past century, as the world's population has grown and become more urban and affluent, waste production has risen tenfold. By 2025 it will double again

1. Rubbish is being generated faster than other environmental pollutants, including greenhouse gases. Plastic clogs the world's oceans and rivers, causing flooding in developing-world cities. Solid-waste management is one of the greatest costs to municipal budgets.

Between a quarter and a third of all domestic waste is packaging: much of this is food packaging. It’s difficult to recycle, too. Plastic which is contaminated with food is hard to reuse. Packets are often made up of several different layers laminated together (e.g. the card, plastic and foil of fruit juice cartons), which makes them impossible to recycle. The packaging industry argues that packaging is necessary for health and hygiene, and has made efforts to make packaging much lighter and thinner (which means that it takes less resources to make and less energy to transport), but the amount of packaged convenience goods on offer is increasing all the time.

Eutrophication is the enrichment of an ecosystem with chemical nutrients, typically compounds containing nitrogen, phosphorus, or both.

Eutrophication can be a natural process in lakes, occurring as they age through geological time.

All though it may sound like a good thing,

it certainly isn't.

Human activities can accelerate the rate at which nutrients enter ecosystems.

Runoff from agriculture and development, pollution from septic systems and sewers, and other human-related activities increase the flux of both inorganic nutrients and organic substances into terrestrial, aquatic, and coastal marine ecosystems (including coral reefs).
Eutrophication creats a dead zone because as the algae dies they use up the oxygen and all the other organisms die off aswell.

Although it may not seem like it, this tree is actually an excellent example of the Tragedy of the Commons. The first thing that you would notice is that the tree has a birdhouse. However, squirrels and birds (and possibly other creatures) both compete with each other for a warm shelter- another organism will use this if they do not. Additionally, various organisms are competing for the tree itself. There have been ants, spiders, birds, squirrels, and even mushrooms that are trying to make this dying tree their home. It is very similar to a neighborhood: more people will keep moving in if you do not "buy" the home.
