ecological limits

Ecological limits refer to the natural boundaries of Earth's environment that define how much resources can be sustainably used and how much waste can be absorbed. These limits ensure ecosystems remain healthy and able to support life. When human activity exceeds these boundaries—such as overusing water, deforestation, or emitting too much pollution—we risk damaging ecosystems, reducing biodiversity, and endangering our own well-being. Recognizing ecological limits helps us manage resources responsibly and avoid environmental degradation, ensuring a balanced planet for current and future generations.
