Humans have a tendency to be self-centered, and don't often think of the common good for the entire world before making decisions about how they use the environment. A growing problem in today's world is the overexploitation of resources, which means using more resources than can be naturally replenished. Most of the time, humans intend to harvest only small parts of an ecosystem, but it doesn't take much to make a large impact on an ecosystem. Exhaustion of resources has a devastating effect on the organisms in any community affected by overexploitation. This is a problem that affects the entire planet and all the organisms on it because it limits the resources available and also destroys many ecosystems. For humans specifically, this could mean that resources like petroleum and lumber could be wiped out. To solve this issue, we can invest more time and money into the research of greener fuels and energy sources. We can also make a much larger effort to recycle as many items as we possibly can. We won't need to waste as many trees for paper and lumber or as much petroleum for plastics if we use recycled materials
