Suggestions:


Humans have affected the Alaskan Tundra both directly and indirectly. Previously, this ecosystem has affected by over hunting and over fishing, however, that has been controlled but now drilling for oil, building pipelines, and pollution is huge concern. In addition, humans have affected the Alaskan Tundra through climate change, which has ultimately increased the temperatures of the environment. In order to balance people and the ecosystem, we suggest that we make decisions on a daily basis to reduce polluting the environment. Moreover, we can be frugal with our oil resources and reduce our time driving by opting to ride a bike or walk whenever possible. On a bigger scale than these day-to-day choices, the local people can also change their food choices in regards to the food they eat and in turn reducing the necessity to hunt and fishing in moderation, thus,  reducing the affects on the Alaskan Tundra. Considering in the United States we have full access to the monoculture agricultural strategy that yields more than enough food for us to survive, we can make the choice to not partake in foods obtained through hunting and fishing in environments where animals are already struggling to survive due to the climate changes they are facing.
