Our ENVIRONMENT is all the things around us. Plants, animals and people are part of the environment. Changes in the environment can affect the way people live.
Over time, the environment has changed. Long ago, American Indians used the land for growing and gathering food. They also used animals, such as buffalo.
New Settlers also hunted buffalow. Soon few buffalo were left. People build cities on land that use to be forests. The environment had changed. The way of life of the American Indians had to change too. They could no longer use the land as they once did.

The Environment Today
One problem the environment faces today is POLLUTION. This is anything that makes the air, water or land dirty. If we do not have clean water and air then people, plants and animals will be hurt. For example, when the ocean becomes polluted, fishers cannot catch as many fish for food. To help, people can clean up the ocean.
