Document Summary
Environmental movement a very diverse social movement concerned with a whole plethora of environmental issues. With the rise of technology, there is an associated growing stress to the environment this is what we will examine today. Technology bring a vast richness of possibilities and progress to our lived and yet simultaneously have various negative impacts. Technology is both seen as the future and in some instances as our savior and yet technology is also the cause of some of the biggest dangers and make the future risky. An example is the destruction of the ecological and climatic equilibrium of the planet. The natural resources of the earth and depleted in the pursuit of profit but there is nothing inherent in such pursuit that operates as a check upon such behaviour. Industrial organizations and businesses which bring us many pieces of technology are the biggest polluters of the air and water. Overall, north americans value science and technology highly.
