Discussion: How does human development impact natural systems?
Create at least TWO full paragraphs (four to five sentences each) that provide an example of the question prompt below. Use your discussion post to bring up new ideas, while also adding to the ideas shared in previous posts. Follow these general guidelines for your discussion post:
1. Introduction: Provide a brief description of your example and at least two ways it has impacted the environment (think both locally and globally).
2. Discussion: Further discuss your example and its environmental impacts; be specific, use outside research, conclude your thoughts, and cite your sources with correctly formatted in-text citations. You should use at least two outside resources (The course textbook does not count as one, though if you do take information from it you must cite it. Do not use Wikipedia as a source).
3. References: Cite your sources (make sure they are correctly formatted).
Once you have completed your discussion post, respond to the discussion post of at least one of your classmates. Was their example valid and are you convinced by their ideas? Explain and support your objections or doubts and/or provide additional relevant information. Cite your sources if applicable. Your response should be approximately one paragraph in length.
