The dawn of the industrial revolution has stripped the planet of many of its natural resources.
According to an article in Population Matters, the human population numbers are projected to rise from seven billion in 2010 to between eight and eleven billion by 2050. It is unlikely that an equivalent increase in food production can be repeated without the use of significantly more energy water and fertilizer (Natural Resources, n.d.). With that being said, there are simply things people can do to improve the environment situation. For example, investing in green energy, buy organic products, and recycle. By doing these small things we can slowly improve the environmental situation. This paper has identified three of the most environmentally negative impacts of the Industrial Revolution, which were the steam engine, pipelines, and railroads. The paper discussed how these impacts changed the environment and explained the effect of the environment movement on the process of industrialization in the United States during the 1970s (Argosy
