Who is Environmental Impact?

Environmental Impact is how people and things affect nature when they do stuff every day.

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy. Every time you knock it over or take a piece from the box, that’s like what happens to the Earth when we use resources or make messes. That’s environmental impact, it's all the little choices we make that change the world around us.

Think of nature as your friend who has a big snack bag. Every time you take a bite, that's like using something from Earth, like water or trees. If too many people take bites without giving back, the snack bag gets empty faster. That’s what happens when we don’t take care of the world, it gets tired and sad.

Now imagine you spill juice on the floor. You have to clean it up so your friend can enjoy their snacks later. That's like pollution, when we make messes in nature, like throwing trash or making loud noises, it takes more work for Earth to stay happy.

So, environmental impact is just like sharing and cleaning up, it’s how our actions help or hurt the world around us.
