An environment is a complex of surrounding circumstances, conditions, or influences in which a thing is situated or is developed, or in which a person or organism lives, modifying and determining its life or character.
The natural environment is such an environment that is relatively unaffected by human activity.
environmentalism is a concern with the preservation of the natural environment, especially from human pollution, and the ethics and politics associated with this.
