Globalization has had far-reaching effects on our lifestyle. It has led to faster access to technology, improved
communication and innovation. Globalization has also created some areas of concern, and prominent among
these is the impact that it has had on the environment. Activists have pointed out that globalization has led to
an increase in the consumption of products, which has impacted the ecological cycle. Increased consumption
leads to an increase in the production of goods, which in turn puts stress on the environment. Globalization
has also led to an increase in the transportation of raw materials and food from one place to another. Earlier,
people used to consume locally-grown food, but with globalization, people consume products that have been
developed in foreign countries. The amount of fuel that is consumed in transporting these products has led to
an increase in the pollution levels in the environment. It has also led to several other environmental concerns
such as noise pollution and landscape intrusion. Transportation has also put a strain on the non-renewable
sources of energy, such as gasoline. The gases that are emitted from the aircraft have led to the depletion of
the ozone layer apart from increasing the greenhouse effect. The industrial waste that is generated as a result
of production has been laden on ships and dumped in oceans. This has killed many underwater organisms
and has deposited many harmful chemicals in the ocean. Globalization is a process of globalization that
participates in the exchange of information, material goods and ideas throughout the world. Since 1960, there
has been an acceleration of international exchanges and the dissemination of the same political, cultural and
economic models. Global trade growth is based on intensive exploitation of natural resources and on
polluting modes of production and transport. However, globalization also allows the growth and
development of new markets: this is the case for fair trade.
