The primary impacts of concern in an energy dependent society often come as a result of our energy use. Burning hydrocarbons like coal and oil to provide us with useful energy results in the emission of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Other activities causing harm include improper waste disposal to bodies of water and soil, accidental spills of chemicals, increased demand for resources as populations increase (especially due to consumerism), and much more. The impacts that these have on the environment have become clear and include:
》Climate change including Global warming
》Acid rain, photochemical smog and other forms of pollution
》Ocean acidification
》Displacement/extinction of wildlife
》Resource depletion - forests, water, food
