As nations move forward they care less and less about their surrounding environment; they label electronics as environmentally friendly but the truth is there just as worse. To make electronics you need lithium, lithium is used in batteries to make them but it requires heavy mining. Mining creates a lot of pollution and plus you’re taking all the resources from Earth but to make the mines you need massive deforestation and roads Basically industrialising Earth.
Fossil fuel is no better when using fuel it creates a lot of carbon dioxide which is extremely bad for the environment. In addition there are often oil spills which kill and destroy ecosystems like recent ones happening in Samoa when a NZ navy ship sank the other one happened near Singapore by the oil company Shell! These oil spills into the ocean happen all the time too, the sad part being that it kills innocent marine life.
But there are some startups that actually try to help earth, like trying to develop technology which could support a hydrogen based energy source. Recently vice president of the USA: Kamala Harris lost the election to Donald Trump, so there is some geopolitical change which shouldn’t change the environment so much but Trump’s actions would be uncertain if they would help the environment. There are some pro environmentalists of mainstream social media that “ try to help the world”.
