Environment of the United States

The environment of the United States is the air, the water, land, plants and animals, and the things people make. People have made a lot of changes to the environment, including cutting down forests, building factories and cities, and using a lot of energy. This has changed the environment in ways that can make it harder for plants and animals to survive. People are trying to keep the environment clean and safe by using renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, planting trees, and reducing pollution.
