The universally accepted definition of environment refers to it as the complex of physical, chemical and biotic factors that act upon an organism or an ecological community and ultimately define its form. What this definition does not address however, is the multiple aspects of the environment that are formed and shaped through human interaction. While it is postulated that there existed a time when the environment as we know it existed free of human interferences, the explosive population growth and the subsequent need for resources and personal and societal advancement has redefined what can be considered the expansion and development of the natural environment.
