Ch. 24 The World's Environment

The last part of chapter 24 really sets people to wonder of the real effects that we are all seeing from industrialization.  Yes, there have been many negative effects of industrialization and globalization such as genocide, wars, and corruption, but what has been slowly deteriorating is our environment.  We cannot change our environment in a year from one extreme to the next.  It is something that over the years eventually deteriorates and it is very difficult for it to grow back.  We cannot replenish forests or our ozone layer in a few years and we may not get to replenish them ever again.  We have to start taking care of our environment as much as possible because it is where we all live, it is where all of our ancestors have lived and it is where all our of future kids will live.  As we have seen, the U.S. is the largest contributor for global warming and as a country we must change that.  Our government is not doing as much as we expect and there are not many incentives for renewable energy companies to open.  Unfortunately, it is very expensive to produce, but we must continue funding with greater quantities these projects that help our environment.
