The Ecological Imbalance

Any thing or factor that upsets the balance of nature leads to ecological imbalance.There are several factors contributing to this.These are interacting factors. On the top is the interaction between inorganic and organic factors, also called abiotic and biotic factors: Interaction between living and nonliving.
Among the living beings are producers(plants), decomposers(bacteria etc) and consumers(humans etc).Then there are food chains and food webs that constitute a relationship among the living beings.When they die, they are decomposed into nonliving matter. In the entire gamut of things man alone is capable of manipulating the environment by certain activities of which he is capable.Man's greed and propensity for sexual life lead to depletion of natural resources and these two are the most potent factors for ecological imbalance. Most of the times we dont even realise how a small action done on our part can lead to environmental imbalance and can cause many things that can actually destroy the balance that the nature restores by itself.
for eg. Using a plastic carry bag is such a normal and usuall thing for us that it has become an inherant part in our life but we never realise that this small action of ours can lead to the plastic bag being right there in our environment for something around 10000 - 15000 years. so what we are in a sense crearting is a world full of wastes and full of hazardous things.
