Question

Civilizations — including the one you live in — still control their environments today. In one or two paragraphs, describe one way your civilization (your city, state, or country) controls its environment. How does this practice help you and other citizens? How is it related to the ways early civilizations controlled their environment?
please help me with this, i've been stuck on it for days.

Answer 1

The U.S. helps control the environment with laws. For example starting in the 1960s everyone became concerned about the impact industrial growth had on the environment. Things like Engine exhaust were blamed for air pollution in bigger cities. New laws like the 1963 Clean Air Act and the 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act were passed to help the ecosystem. Without these laws today’s environment could be terrible. Although it’s not the greatest these laws do help us go outside without breathing in very harmful air. This relate to ways early civilization controlled their environment because they created laws too. In some early civilization the government was in charge of things like what and where to farm, build, etc were controlled by the government. I hope this is somewhat what your looking for and it helps you at least. Have a good day!
