Technology and Pollution
•Industrial technology causes massive amounts of
pollution
•It affects over 100 million people; comparable to
malaria and HIV
•The U.S. alone produces 30% of the worlds waste,
and uses 25% of the Earth’s resources.
•14 BILLION pounds of garbage (Mostly plastic) is
dumped into the ocean every year.
•Approximately 46% of the lakes in America cannot
support life due to pollution.
•Due to pollution, and this evidence, eventually
Human life will also be unsupportable by the Earthhttp://www.dosomething.org/tipsandtools/11-facts-about-pollution
•Personal: Pollution can cause sickness, making an
enjoyable life difficult.
•Social: Much like personal life, pollution can affect
your social life with sickness and even death.
•Material: Due to companies trying to reduce their
emissions, as well as improved technology, your
material life will become more expensive.
•Work: As a civil engineer, pollution could cause new
obstacles to overcome when designing things such as
problems arising from soil pollution.
•Recreational: Since almost 46% of the lakes in the U.S.
are uninhabitable by fish, I could not enjoy fishing
there.
