Summary/Abstract: Events have direct and indirect connections with the environment. Events can have economic, social, cultural and physical impacts on the environment. It can be argued that most events often have common environmental impacts. Firstly, they contribute to the depletion of natural resources as well as to air, water, and soil pollution. Secondly, they decrease the numbers and varieties of plants and animals and ruin their habitats.
