These actions even though the conditions may be harsh for the people do have positive sides to them. The ships themselves play an important part in the lives of many people, not only do the owners of the cargo make a profit, but the workers do as well. Bangladesh has no iron ore sources or mines which is why they have a demand for 500,000 tons of steel and metals. Ship breaking supplies the country with sixty percent of its raw materials for the local steel industries. In a couple of ways, taking into consideration the breaking of ships can may even be called “green industry”. Recycling, reusing, and reselling many if not all parts of the ship just happens to be one of those ways. The raw materials from the ships go to steel mills, steel plate manufacturing, providing furniture, batteries and many more useful household items used in an everyday home. The dismantlement of ships creates an outstanding amount of revenue government authorities receive from taxes, each year collecting an estimated 1000, 00, 00,000 Taka.

The rising matter known as CO2 intensifies the climbing temperatures of Earth’s exterior and is the major leading cause of the so called “Global Warming Effect”. An idea proposed in order to help the effects to the globes warming temperatures is to exchange and recycle conventional sources with alternative ones that have comparable or better performance, but do not emit carbon dioxide. Once the year 2050 decides to shine upon us, roughly one-third of the earth’s energy will have to be from alternative energy who says? British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell, which happen to be two of our planets’ largest oil companies. Climate change, population growth, and fossil fuel depletion mean that renewables will need to play a bigger role in the future causing it to be an even more difficult task in sustaining the prosperous ways of life we life today. Alternative energy concerns energy sources that have result in no seriously damaging repercussions, for example fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Alternative energy sources are renewable and are thought to be "free" energy sources. They all have lower carbon emissions, compared to original sources used before as well as now. These include Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, Hydroelectric Energy sources. Incorporated with the three

    As an inhabitant of this world, we may be asked the question; “To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people.” This is a question that not many people can answer, while some will provide a vague definition of either globalization or sustainability that is off topic. This just shows how naïve we are to the world around us. As global citizens, I believe we should be more knowledgeable and have a broader understanding of events happening around the world. If people became more knowledgeable and understanding, they would see that there is more than meets the eye to these global issues, but more so that citizens would be able to help those in need and the environment stay sustainable for future generations.…

With a bigger marketplace, product demands are bigger, which means more business opportunities, and it helps exported nations to boost their productivities and as well as employment rates.

    Globalization may help economic growth in certain countries, however in other countries it is creating harm. Globalization is creating pollution, a decrease in employment, it's making people lose their tradition, and it's making people be abused at their work. In the article The Global: Sneaker From Asia to Everywhere, it explains how pollution affects our environment. Some factories dump toxic waste into rivers or streams, which expose deadly fumes to our air. If geographers believe that the world may not have enough resources for the whole population, then why are they wasting one of our valuable resource?…

    Our world cares and nurtures over 7 billion people -which is rapidly rising-, drains about about 400 quadrillion BTUs of energy each year, and desperately tries to meet the basic needs of every human being. Every year, we demand more and more from our Mother Earth while her supplies cannot replenish as fast as we take, and consequently, will not meet our energy needs in the next upcoming years. Specifically in the United States, in 2014 we consumed nearly 80.50 quadrillion BTUs of energy from petroleum, natural gas, and coal; which also is an increase from 2013 of approximately 1.03 quadrillion BTUs. It is no doubt that we need to begin to take action and find new innovations involving groundbreaking technology and sciences in order to meet…

    The source fairly describes globalization as a force that unites countries and creates interdependence between them, and its potential virtues as being able to increase living standards using knowledge and the combined efforts of people. Rather cynically, though, it implies that human nature prevents globalization from bringing about sustainable prosperity for all. Conversely, those who advocate for and believe in international cooperation and progress would argue that the forces of globalization are improving living conditions around the world. The sentiments of the source are more optimistically reflected by what Hans Rosling, a Swedish academic, said,“The 1 to 2 billion poorest in the world, who don't have food for the day, suffer from the…

If your favorite kind of food is from a culture other than your own, then you too are unconsciously a part of globalization.
