Plants, algae, and some bacteria are able to directly convert energy from the sun through photosynthesis, using sunlight to produce their own food energy. Some bacteria and archaea in extreme environments can also use environmental chemicals, such as hydrogen sulfide or methane, through a process called chemosynthesis, to produce their food energy.
Chemicals are not livings things.
No, nitrogen gas cannot be directly used by most living organisms. Instead, nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil or in plant roots convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form (ammonia or nitrates) that can be used by plants to make proteins. Other organisms then obtain nitrogen by consuming these plants.

Yes, all living things contain chemicals.
Ignorance, indifference, or the result of unintended consequences. For example, the Love Canal environmental event, where homes were built on top of toxic chemicals and children living there experienced high rates of cancer, combined all three of these reasons. The chemicals were buried there were inadequately sealed in their containers: indifference. People did not know that the chemicals were there, and the houses were built on top of the toxic dump: ignorance. The person who put the chemicals in the pit did not know they were going to cause cancer and could not have known houses would someday be built there: unintended consequences.
You cannot kill chemicals. Chemicals are not a living thing.
All living things do.
Some reputable environmental websites that provide information on sustainable living practices include: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) - Offers resources and tips on sustainable living practices. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) - Provides information on conservation and sustainable living. National Geographic - Features articles and guides on environmental issues and sustainable living. Greenpeace - Offers information on environmental campaigns and sustainable living practices. The Nature Conservancy - Provides resources on conservation and sustainable living initiatives.
Life is one big bunch of chemicals...so if it's alive it's got chemicals and lots of them.
it affects the environments with their chemicals.
