After the Second World War, industrialization took place at a tremendous pace without giving any thought to its effects on the environment, flora and fauna, and peoples' safety and heath. This led to increased global warming, depletion of ozone protective cover from harmful UV radiation, contamination of land and water ways due to release of toxic chemicals by industries, reduction in nonrenewable resources such as petroleum, destructions of forest cover due to acid rains, increased health problems, and industrial accidents resulting in loss of life and property.
