The
Industrial Revolution is a period of exponential growth in innovation. As you
know by now, it is also a period that has unleashed many unintended

With acid rain, deforestation, and the greenhouse effect. Serious problems are beginning to occur. Also with the limited recourses industrialization this is not good. It causes people in foreign countries to work day in and day out for poor wages. With deforestation and the green house effect occurring it is making it also difficult on animals. Forcing them to find new homes because there home are being cut down, or making them go to a higher elevation because of global warming (green house effect) with that said industrialization although a good thing is much much worse in the big picture, and that’s why I feel there must be a change.

to melt. This makes the water level rise, which means no
