Oh, my, this would be a long list. Some of the big ones:
1. We destroy natural habitat by taking the land for our farms, cities, roads, ...
2. We pollute habitat that we don't destroy -- air pollution, land pollution, water pollution
3. We change the course of rivers by channeling or by diverting the rivers, and we build dams that affect the water flow, water temperature, water depth, dissolved oxygen, ...
4. We cause soil erosion by using ill-advised farming practices, by leaving soil exposed on building sites, ...
5. We overhunt, overfish, overcollect
6. We move species into ecosystems that are not native to them, allowing some species to become invasive
7. We use up resources: forests, minerals, freshwater, ...
and more and more

Well, Pollution Is the main part. Illinois Is the main part in that (ADM, Lots of factories, etc.) Also Littering. There is way to much litter which is not good for Wildlife nor the Ecosystem. Also There is alot of hunting which is Endangering animals. Cars are another type of pollution. If people would just walk to somewhere close, we would have alot less pollution in the air. Also the cars heat the earth with harmful gases and Earth being the beauty she is is keeping in that heat and is gonna cuase Global Warming in which my mind will never happen because God in the bible said he Promises that he would never again flood the Earth. We would have alot more people believing that if there weren't so many **** bags on Earth.

One example is through pollution. Sometimes corporations and chemical plants pollute the ground or the air. When it rains, the water seeps in to the ground and carries the pollution to farms or into your back yard, or into streams where animals drink. They've found fish with extra gills, and frogs with extra legs due to human's polluting water. That's not a fantasy or some fatalistic prediction of the sky falling...that's a fact.

Do a search on the internet for somthing like "human damage to earth" and you'll find a better answer than something these people will tell you on here. No offense to them, but most answers are crap.

we want to mess with everything including earths natural processes, forest fires occur naturally, and we put them out but this is earths way of rebuilding itself(not including ones purposely started) we cut back forests now the animals that dont die have to move into other animals territory and overpopulate that area, than they die of starvation, we put chemicals and stuff in the ground, well eventually those chemicals make it to our water sources and although diluted massively, we still woudlnt normally ingest those things, human exsistence is very little compared to earth, for the earth 100 years isnt anything to rebuild a forest, but to humans most of us dont like but 70 years so if a tree falls over we freak out
