Summary draft 2

Globalisation is a phenomenon that increases trades around the world. The World Trade Organisation has been blamed for causing environmental problems. The production of items that are harmful to the environment has been increasing due to overwhelming demand through globalisation. This may be due to the fact that government fail to implement policies to protect the forests. It is not a domestic issue alone, but a global problem because everyone shares the air and water. Fortunately through the media, people are realising the problems we face pertaining to our environment, which has the ability to make the economy declines that resembles the global recessions and World Wars. We are not utilising the power of technology fully to combat the issue because many countries, including the United States, are unwilling to exchange economic growth for a greener environment. The lack of authority of the United Nations in handling the issue needs to be addressed. However, there are still countries that pledge to tackle the matter and highlight the problem to international audience. Reluctance and ignorance are the main driving forces that damage our environment. Political power can be the solution to reduce the detriment effects of globalisation and brings about a change in attitude when working on the issue.
