Question

How are our lifestyles shaping and changing the planet

Answer 1

Our lifestyles are shaping and changing the planet by changing its climate and temperatures because of like cars producing large amounts of gas along with using fossil fuels to fuel them and factories also produce large amounts of gas. Along with deforestation which wipe out plenty of forests and trees with lower the amount of oxygen. And finally due to the lowering rates of trees along with the growing human population more carbon is put out while humans are taking in oxygen. A real life example is the dust bowl because farmers mowed down many trees and crops just to get more acres of land because the government claimed it is more volatile and more valuable which in 50 years it had cause massive dust storms.

Answer 2

If someone rides the bus everyday to work, their lifestyle is helping to shape and change the planet in a positive way. If someone's lifestyle involves not recycling or conserving water or energy, then they are negatively shaping and changing the earth. 

I would add some more stuff to this, more example and details etc. I just gave you a general explanation. Anyways, hoped this helped! :)
