It is a fact that people generally assume that nature will always be available, self-regenerating and that it can be exploited by man without any long-term costs. Therefore nature has been viewed as something that is constant, something that will never run out. Although this act of taking advantage of our environment has led to the damage us humans in nature face today, the over use of nature as an economic factor has generated a significant cost to society. As the damaged environment effects the people of society. In reference to Hans Immler’s theory, which focuses on the role of the natural environment and its neglect, one could say that because of people taking advantage of the natural environment, the natural environment is taking massive strain, such as global warming. This is affecting the people, for example the recent earthquake in Japan; this was proof of the natural environments discomfort. Another example would be the worst nuclear disaster ever, the Chernobyl disaster, which affected the natural environment and thousands of people surrounding it, which is still apparent. A very moving video of a young girl with a brain tumour from the toxins of Chernobyl expresses these much later effects of the disaster.
