Globalisation's affect on the environment

I’ve been reading about the affect globalisation has had on communication and technology to further globalisation however for this to happen there has been and still is repercussions to the environment. 

As the world increases it’s demand for natural resources, technological innovations, wealth and expansion, the environment suffers. The latest technology is causing the world’s electronic waste to pile up to a massive forty million tons each year. In addition to this over population has caused the overuse of natural resources. Extensive deforestation is now world wide with 11 million acres a year cut for commercial and property industries and about one half of the forests that covered the Earth are now gone. These devastating affects on the environment are due to globalisation’s exporting overuse. 

However its because of the negative impacts on the environment that globalisation is now starting to have a positive impact. The awareness of preserving natural resources and using greener technology has been assisted by multinational corporations due to globalisation. Global communication is allowing world wide research into greener technology to progress. 

I believe the sudden rise of globalisation brought the unstoppable negative affects it had on the environment. However as globalisation has stabilised the communication it brought between countries will allow the next green technological innovations the save the environment which we have left.
