We are often presented with unpleasant sights caused by the actions of our own brothers and sisters, for example throwing garbage into rivers, on the road, cutting down trees carelessly, without realizing that it has an impact on many people. This is what human behavior reflects as a destroyer of the environment. Humans and their environment cannot be separated. The phenomenon is that humans live from the elements of their environment: air for breathing, water for drinking, plants and animals for food, and land for shelter.
