How are we doing this❔❔❔• Dam follies- can cause natural disasters

www.greenpssport.us• Overfishing- Mankind's appetite for seafood has emptied our oceans. More than half

of the world's fisheries are already gone 🐠🐟• Invasive Species- this can throw off the natural balance out of order. For example,

the Dodo bird.• Coal mining- Causes climate changes and endangers local ecosystems • Human accidents-Like the 1989 Valdez which released 11 million gallons of crude oil

into the ocean killing 250,000 sea birds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles 22 killer whales and billions of salmon

• Cars- A single car emits 12,000 lbs of carbon dioxide which will take 240 trees to offset the amount and also pollutes the air we breathe
