The Environment is an issue that relates to us as a whole population - both eukaryotic and prokaryotic. It's an issue that we should not ignore. It can be defined as 'the air, water, and land in or on which people, animals, and plants live'[1]. As a population we have an effect on the environment and the environment has an effect on us, both postively and negatively. Examples of this include: smoking, oil spills, car emissions and littering.


Also see the Earth.
