We have chosen to focus here on the Broken Hill mining company and DeBeers . Deforestation is an increasing environmental problem with growing implications. The world's rainforests are rapidly decreasing, thereby increasing worldwide levels of carbon dioxide. This is contributing to such effects as global warming, the hole in the ozone layer, and increased air pollution. Furthermore, it destroys natural habitats for wildlife and plants, and leads to soil erosion.
Chemicals are hazardous to various aspects of the global environment.
The companies that produce these chemicals can not ensure responsible handling of their finished products. Accidents occur often, polluting water, air, and soil, thereby damaging natural habitats of many animals and causing potential health dangers for humans. Eastman Kodak and Dupont are good examples of this type of environmental problem. Oil Companies have polluted the planet for as long as they have existed. Numerous problems arise when oil is drilled to the surface.
