Terrestrial Resource ChallengeRobert SladeSCI/275November-0802015Eric HoyerTerrestrial Resource Challenge        The two terrestrial resource challenges that interested me the most were solid waste and agricultural farmland. Though the two are different, I think that they have one main thing in common that stresses both situations. The population growth of humans and their actions that are causing environmental problems that could lead to more unnecessary problems that could end up being a health hazard. After reading this week’s material and upon further research, I would conclude that the main reason for solid waste is none other than human beings individually that comes together in set places. With the disappearance of farmland humans are a main part of the problem due to population growth but there is also the case of erosion and deterioration to agricultural soils.        Human actions are the main issues that threaten sustainability with the two choices I made with solid waste and agricultural farmland. “In many parts of the world, including India, Bangladesh and China, arable land is quickly disappearing. As populations grow and cities place a huge demand on the resources of the countryside, farmland is being absorbed into urban sprawl. In Bangladesh, the government has recently taken action against the disappearance of farmland as a threat to the economic security of the country,” Johnson Walter, “Terrestrial Resource Issues,”
