Lots of activities have effects, to varying extents.
Farming for instance, results in deforestation, which reduces the number of trees in the world, thus reducing the total absorbtion of CO2 and emission of O2 in the world. The fertilisers used on farms also tend to leach into the water course, encouraging growth of algae, and thus disturbing the balance of life in rivers and lakes.
Similarly, excessive grazing of livestock in semi-arid regions results in desertification- hence the expansion of the Sahara desert.
Over-fishing can cause the depletion of fish-stocks, to the point that large areas of the ocean are affected.
Burning fossil fuels, increases total CO2 content of the atmosphere, and is believed to contribute to the recent increase in global average temperature, which in turn is expected to cause melting of ice-caps and thus an increase in sea-levels.
On a local level, the temperature of the regions surrounding cities tends to be raised relative to other areas, because of the waste heat they produce, and the effect of their vertical aspects on the flow of air-currents. This can create small changes in the weather. The large-scale farming of grazing animals also contributes significantly to total methane emissions, again, potentially exacerbating the green-house effect. That's all I can think of right now.

Every human activity affects the earth. We are like a disease on the earth because we are killing it.

nicely you think of relating to the guy each and every of the time. every time you spot him you sense tickles on your abdomen. You get very apprehensive around him. you pick to do something to maintain him happy and you sense like your interior the clouds. of direction don't be fooled by making use of a weigh down they have very almost an identical indications yet you would understand whilst it is love. it rather is a deep, stable feeling which you won't be in a position to eliminate.
