How do primary industries affect the economy?
The primary industry is the basis to our economy. Primary industries gather the raw items. Subsequently, secondary industries utilize these items to produce things that are utilized by individuals, such as furniture, garments and nourishment. What's more, the third segment named the service industry is concerned with supplying and providing the finished items to the individuals known as consumers in shops and eateries.

How do primary industries affect the environment?
An excellent example of how the primary industry is detrimental to the environment is the process of logging. When trees are chopped down, there will be less clean air in the atmosphere. If only selective cutting is carried out, it doesn't cause too much harm to the environment compared to clear cutting because clear cutting involves chopping down all the trees in a forest. The machines used to chop down the trees also pollute the environment. They emit carbon monoxide while chopping down the trees and that smoke can cause cancer and damage to our lungs.
