Many people say that globalization and the growing number of multinational companies have a negative effect on the environment. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.

It is believed that urbanization or the expansion of international organizations is one of the prime factors that influence the ecosystem. In my perspective, I tend to agree with

statement as these multinational firms should be responsible for worsening the

essay, I shall put forth some ideas with lucid examples to demonstrate my point. At

first

, it is evident that more and more renowned brands establish their main factories in many developing countries

such

as China, Vietnam and Indonesia so that they can reduce labour costs and experience low taxes from these countries. Indeed, it is estimated that an enormous amount of chemical waste and gas is discharged into the atmosphere and rivers in these countries annually, which pollutes the vegetation and ecosystem seriously.

Moreover

, a gigantic level of tropical forest and farming land have been erased permanently to give room for ample factories, road infrastructures and residential areas.

Hence

, the number of trees and other natural plants have declined sharply, which endangers the natural

and air quality in these areas.

Nevertheless

, more citizens prefer to purchase their own cars

instead

of using public transport, which increases traffic congestion and exhausts more gas into the atmosphere.

Last

but not least, littering is another issue that needs to be addressed. When travel has become more ubiquitous and affordable, people can travel to many stunning locations and a gigantic amount of trash from these hordes of tourists has become

To sum up, while I believe that governments need to take decent measures to control and limit the expansion of global companies and urge them to comply with environmental laws. Individuals need to be more aware of environmental issues as it is not only the accountability of administrations.
