Regardless of your viewpoint, take into consideration the following factors that place our environment as well as the planet Earth in danger.
Global warming or climate change is a major contributing factor to environmental damage. Because of
global warming, we have seen an increase in melting
ice caps, a rise in sea levels, and the formation of new
weather patterns. These weather patterns have caused
stronger storms, droughts, and flooding in places that
they formerly did not occur.
Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of excessive
and unregulated emissions of carbon dioxide into the
air. Pollutants mostly emerge ____________the burning_________fossil fuels______ addition __________ chemicals, toxic substances, and improper waste disposal.
Air pollutants are absorbed into the atmosphere, and
they can cause smog, a combination of smoke and
fog, in valleys as well as produce acidic precipitation in
areas far away from the pollution source.
In many areas, people and local governments do not
sustainably use their natural resources. Mining for
natural gases, deforestation, and even improper use of
water resources can have tremendous effects on the
environment. While these strategies often attempt
to boost local economies, their effects can lead to oil
spills, interrupted animal habitats, and droughts.
Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on the
environment can lead to many problems. Human
beings need to consider the repercussions of their
actions, trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials
while establishing environmentally sustainable habits.
If measures are not taken to protect the environment,
we can potentially witness the extinction of more
endangered species, worldwide pollution, and a completely uninhabitable planet.

Although the operating environment of museums grows more complex each year, the root value for museums, the tie that connects all of us together despite our diversity, is the commitment to serving people, both present and future generations.
Historically, museums have owned and used natural objects, living and non-living, and all manner of human artifacts to advance knowledge and nourish the human spirit. Today, the range of their special interests reflects the scope of human vision. Their missions include collecting and preserving, as well as exhibiting and educating with materials not only owned but also borrowed and fabricated for these ends. Their numbers include both governmental and private museums.
The museum universe in the United States includes both collecting and noncollecting institutions. Although diverse in their missions, they have in common their nonprofit form of organization and a commitment of service to the public. Their collections and/or the objects they borrow or fabricate are the basis for research, exhibits, and programs that invite public participation.
Taken as a whole, museum collections and exhibition materials represent the world's natural and cultural common wealth. As stewards of that wealth, museums are compelled to advance an understanding of all natural forms and of the human experience. It is incumbent on museums to be resources for humankind and in all their activities to foster an informed appreciation of the rich and diverse world we have inherited. It is also incumbent upon them to preserve that inheritance for posterity.
