873 - How does the human body interact with the environment?

The human body interacts with the environment in many ways. Here are a few examples:

  1. Breathing: We take in oxygen from the air and release carbon dioxide. This helps plants grow by providing them with the CO2 they need for photosynthesis.
  2. Drinking and eating: We drink water from rivers, lakes, and oceans, and eat food that grows in the environment, like fruits and vegetables.
  3. Touch and movement: We walk, run, and play on the ground, which helps shape the landscape and create trails.
  4. Waste: Our bodies produce waste, like poop and pee, which can either harm or help the environment, depending on how we dispose of it.
  5. Senses: We use our eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to experience the world around us, like feeling the sun's warmth, smelling flowers, or hearing birds chirp.

Remember, our bodies are connected to the environment, and what we do can affect the world around us.
