PLEASE HELP how has technology impacted our environment negatively provide two examples.

Technology in theory has no direct impact to the environment, as technology is simply the tools we create to simplify tasks. Technology's environmental impact lies in the methods we use to create these tools (for example using non renewable energy sources to manufacture the technology), what the techology is made of (plastics vs bio degradable materials), and what the direct purpose of the technology is (the automobile's purpose is to continue burning fossil fuels for the purpose of travel). The later can have a net positive effect however, if the technology's purpose is to assist the environment (for example wind turbine technology, solar panel technology, bio fuel technology, etc...).
