Attrition is an essay that explores anthropogenic impacts and their

negative consequences that can affect human behavior and the

environment.

Everything was going very well. Nature developed in the most

chaotic and brilliant way possible and all living organisms were

organized into intelligent structures and societies. But then the man

arrived. And came full of intentions.

Anthropogenic actions are the actions carried out by man. This

expression became known when the need to talk about the changes

caused by human beings in the environment and what the impacts were

caused were seen.

When we refer to the word impact, it is common to associate it with

something negative. And this is what Attrition is about. Many natural

resources have been used by man in an unruly manner, demonstrating a

certain lack of concern for their availability. Industrialization associated

with the capitalist mentality of production and exaggerated consumption

has triggered actions that aim only to obtain profit, thus increasing

socio-environmental problems, since producing more requires further

exploration of natural resources.

Global warming, black tide, deforestation, inappropriate use of

water resources… and we still have the urbanization process.

Yes, humans have failed a lot in this use of the environment.
