An important global issue that should be raised by all countries today is the fact that the earth’s environment is becoming more and more polluted everyday.
One of the key factors in the increase in pollution is the rapid industrialization of developing countries, where pollution tends to increase at a more rapid rate. Environmental pollution affects everyone-from the homeless people dressed in rags to the people of the highest rank in the government. Industrial factories that radiate pollution as they manufacture their raw materials do not discriminate when it comes to the range of people that are affected by their toxic output. Many countries have tried to reach an agreement on the best way to limit environmental pollution, but most countries are not yet ready to sacrifice their economic development in favor of protecting the environment. They must find the proper ratio between the amount of pollution that can be allowed and the total cost of reducing such pollution.
Some radical environmental groups have caused problems with the methods that they use to fight against the destruction of the environment-random acts of violence or raids on corporations that they believe are causing pollution usually do more harm than food when it comes to protecting the environment. Their rage towards polluting companies and their rash actions cause corporate executives to quiver at the thought that their company might be the next target of these radical groups. The environmentalists rally around the claim that corporations greedily rape the environments as they continue to rake in the money while they are destroying the earth with their pollution. But if they would bother to quiz many corporate leaders, they would find that company executives rack their brains to find ways to reduce the pollution that their operations create. To quote one executive from one of the world’s largest corporations: “
It is simply not in our best interest to pollute the environment. When you consider that pollution reaches and affects each and every one of us, even those of us that work within these corporations, it just makes sense to do the best that we can to protect the environment.” It seems to be a good sign for the environment that the leaders of such large corporations are willing to raise the issue of environmental protection. Let’s hope that there is a rapid solution to wide range of problems caused by pollution-and that it is readily within reach.
