Environmentalism: A Necessary Option to Save the WorldThe world as as it is now known is, quite simply, being pressed to its limits. With carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases triggering widespread global warming effects, the world is in grave danger.

While many people feel that global warming is not a problem, or that it is not a human problem, it is not hubris to think that the constant use of fossil fuels and heavy industry are aiding a natural course toward disaster for the whole world, not just mankind. Political lobbyists are even now attempting to allow unnecessary measures to appear to helping with the situation while really only affecting a minuscule part of the problem. Car manufacturers have been lobbying to shut down many Eco-friendly options for running cars simply so that they may find the answer first, then patent it.

Big businesses cause a large portion of the pollution that has aided in the building up of greenhouse gases, causing several of the problems with oil spills,
