Going into the new millennium, we must figure out a way to stop at least half of the pollution in our society. We can't stop it all immediately, but a least half if it not all of the pollution. The question is how does the economy affect the environment and the answer is negatively in some ways. One of those ways is the pollution being put in the air by the construction of buildings. Another cause of pollution is the exhaust from our cars that we drive to work every day.
Factories also pollute the world with smog and smoke every day of the workweek.
The first thing that is polluted is the air, which we breathe and take for granted. As we speak, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are increasing. Some figures have shown that the carbon dioxide concentration is currently higher than it has been for the past 160,000 years. The reasons for the increase are because of human activity or better yet, the construction of some buildings. What we mean by human activity is that humans are cutting down trees and clearing land for buildings.
