When hungry, we pluck the vegetables from the plant to be cooked. We take the water from well and river for drinking, bathing, washing, and other needs. That’s just a bit of an example because there are many other things that humans do to take the advantage of the environment. Other living beings also use the environment for survival, such as animals that eat plants and other animals to survive.

In addition to meet the life needs of primary, secondary, and tertiary, the environment has many other roles.
