Number 10: Manifest Destiny.
In the early days of the United States, the immigrants that became colonists that became members of the country were all located in the eastern part of the US. But then, they needed more "elbow room" to grow, so they went to the middle and western parts of the country. They believed it was their right to do so, even calling it "Manifest Destiny". And while that kind of expansion has technically stopped in that regard...humanity is still expanding as a whole, and that's putting the rest of the world at risk.
By this, I mean that our population is still growing. We're currently at about 8 billion in population, and we're running out of places to expand. And so, we're chopping down forests and other environmentally needed areas in order to try and make more room for humanity.
This is very dangerous, because the trees we cut down were providing oxygen that we need to survive, not to mention are a big part of the ecosystem. Then, by chopping down lots of forests, we're putting animals in danger by destroying their habitats.
The more we expand, the more danger we're putting our planet in, and yet, we're still expanding.
Number 9: Trashing Our World.
Easily one of the biggest current threats right now is in regards to all the trash and waste that is just being stockpiled in the world. While many items can be recycled, many don't take the time to do that process.
Or, the items that they have aren't recyclable, and that causes even more problems because, without something to do with them, we literally just throw them away.
If you go across the United States, you'll see massive landfills that are nothing more than trash heaps that collect more and more junk every single day, week, month, and year. And the problem is, the landfills are getting full. So what happens when we don't have anywhere left to put our trash?
Another trash problem can be found in the Pacific Ocean, where a near-literal continent of trash resides. Truly, trash from the coastlines and other incidents have caused a plethora of trash to come together and just reside in the water. You can see it go for miles because of the massive amounts of it. And while people are talking about it, they're not doing anything about it.
Slowly but surely, that trash will destroy us, even if we don't recognize it. Remember the Pixar film Wall-E? That might be our future if we're not careful.
Number 8: Lack Of Biodiversity.

Our world is full of life, wondrous and beautiful life, and that's amazing. But, as time goes on, a very disturbing trend is being found. The amounts of different life in the world...is fading. This abundance of different life is called Biodiversity, and it's what helps make our planet so special. However, because of the expansion of humanity and the destruction of various habitats, the world is starting to lose more and more species of animal.
According to the World Wildlife Foundation, that last three decades has cost the world 27% of its biodiversity, and if that trend continues, it could spell true disaster for the world.
Why is that? Simple, animals help make the world what it is, that's just a fact. And whether it's the big cats, bats, insects, fish, or something else entirely, they all have a role to play in making the world flow and grow. But, when you start to lose that, the world suffers.
A particular species that is suffering is bees. Without bees, a lot of the flower population doesn't get pollinated, which would spell utter disaster for farmers and crops, among those who grow various flowers for other reasons.
We need to protect the balance in our world, or else it'll get wiped out, and we'll all suffer.
Number 7: Deforestation.
A great example about keeping the balance of our world safe is stopping deforestation. Every day, acres upon acres of trees and forests and jungles are being chopped down, and all because we have a massive need for wood, as we use it for various things in our world, including paper and other things that we use every single day.
But, cutting down the forests is harming us. It's stopping the trees from producing oxygen, which we need to survive. It's harming the habitats of animals, and forcing them to adapt. But if there's no forest left to adapt in, what are they supposed to do?
