Over time, direct and indirect human activities combine to collectively impact the environment. These effects may differ from the original, individual activities. For example, ecosystems can be damaged by the combined effects of human activities, such as air, land, and/or water pollution, improper handling of industrial waste, and other human development activities. Global warming is the cumulative effect caused by too much greenhouse gas, and it may then cause a loss in biodiversity and acid rain. North America has contributed to creating various cumulative effects on the environment. Many states in the United States have inadequate or no formal environmental review requirements in order to assess the cumulative effects on the environment from harmful practices. The extent to which cumulative effects in each state are evaluated varies greatly. For example, some programs only require an assessment on specific natural resource issues and others require comprehensive examination of cumulative effects on the environment. Environmental assessments are a necessity to ensure the further advancement of healthy ecosystems, habitats, and wildlife."@en }
