Wrap+Up

Globalization goes hand in hand with environment. As trade and industrialization increases, so does the rate of global warming and the amount of damage caused by the expansion. If globalization becomes out of hand in the near future, it won't be an exaggeration to say that global warming will speed up rapidly enough to eventually harm the environment even more from a global standpoint affecting the lives of all of Earth's inhabitants. As more factories are built and more forests are removed for said factories, it is inevitable that our carbon emissions and use of fuels will increase to keep up with each countries' rapid modernization.

If you thinks that the impact of globalization on the environment will not affect you as an American citizen, then you are wrong. Resources will not last forever. As the amount of resources become more and more limited, prices of certain things will increase. This is definitely going to hit home (or rather empty wallets and clean out bank accounts) for the average American. If a healthy compromise isn't reached in the near future to help lessen the problems caused by globalization and rapidly developing industry, there will be major repercussions. Do you like convenient transportation? Cars? Buses? etc.? How about the prices of the fuel you need in order to have those services available sky-rocket, and now they aren't there for you? That's nothing compared to the kinds of drastic changes that could occur because of the environmental affects. Imagine the whole Isle of Manhattan underwater. Maybe that will be something to think about.

In conclusion, I'd like to leave you with the idea that you can make a difference (no matter how small) in your own local environment. It pays off in the long run and can cause real change in the future.
