Depends on the city-state.
Most city-states (predominantly Athens) were engaged in trade with places from all over the world to keep a supply of grain and other supplies.
Others, like Sparta, conquered other lands and got food from them.

Well...ancient Greeks thought that humans were made up of four Humors. The humors were blood, black bile, yellow bile and phlegm (said Flem, means snot) if you were healthy it meant all your humors were balanced, so...you had an equal amount of each humor. If you had a fever it meant you had to much blood, so the doctors would cut your arm until you lost enough blood and then they would tie it up and stop the bleeding or...you would be covered in slimy, horrible blood sucking creatures called leeches.

Ancient Greeks were not equipped to make any massive environmental changes like we do today. Due to smaller populations and limited technology the Greeks faced relatively minor environmental issues.

And of course their respect for gods and goddesses altered their role in the environment.
