This is the way it's typically talked about, but to be perfectly accurate, the environmental pressures are not causing mutation, they're selecting for the fittest mutation for the given environment. Here's the thing though, any change in environment will cause selection pressures. For example, people gaining immunity by way of getting the virus and dodging death puts selection pressure on the virus.
The way that we stop new strains is via vaccination and social distancing/ppe. The more immunity and the less paths of transmission, the less circulation, the less chances a viable mutation catches fire.
