How do the earth systems affect each other? What efforts can we make to create a sustainable future? I believe that each earth system has a bigger impact than we even have a surface (understanding) on yet. I feel like the earth systems definitely affect the climate change that is going on. We are also a major part of the force of climate change. We pollute the earth from the air to the water. Us as the biosphere are hurting the earth. I believe the biosphere is the harshest earth system because we are very careless even when we are informed that we need to change our ways. I feel like the main thing we can do is stop pollution as much as possible. We pollute the earth from things big and small, from smoking cigarettes to driving cars to factories. It tends to seem like most ways that we survive is by adding harm to the earth. During this project, I thought of not only just talking about making a difference, but actually trying to do it. So, instead of taking the bus or driving to school, I decided to walk 2 days out of the week to reduce my carbon footprint/pollution. It is hard to get used to the change, but it is well worth it.
