It is surprising to see how little the population knows about the environment they live in. Where does your garbage go? Sure, it’s a simple question, but where does the garbage really go? Thinking about the process of garbage collection, travel, and where the garbage actually ends up is unknown to a majority of the population. Also unknown is things that seem so apparent such as types of grass, soil, birds, and flowers that frame the world. The problem is that the world has gotten too big and too spread out. The United States once was comprised of 50 percent farmers, and has now reached the point where there are twice as many prisoners and there are farmers. The problem with that statement is that all of the small town  agriculture culture is dead. Major producers and corporations have taken over small town business that America was built on. The increase in population and ever expanding corporations has led to un-reversible pollution and damage to the environment. The most populated country in the world, China, has devised a plan to reduce the Energy intensity of GDP by 40 percent by 2020. The problem with this goal is that with the growing population and production rate in China, by 2020 even with the 40 percent reduction, China will still be producing more CO2 rather than less. With the ever growing population and drive to produce bigger and better things, the world will not slow down and the environment will inversely be affected. The invention of internet, texting, and tweeting have all changed the world. Citizens now have the opportunity to be close while not being close at all. This has created a world that is more connected and fast passed that ever before. Companies can order a product to be delivered the next day when the same process used to take weeks. Technology has changed the world and created a cyber environment.
