Environmental Issue

    One important environmental issue that contributes to the need of "island civilization" is pollution. More specifically though, pollution created by fossil fuels such as gasoline, oil, and coal. The industrial world relies heavily on these resources, regardless of their negative effect on Earth. China is a country that suffers greatly from these types of pollutants. Industrial pollution is even their most top killer. So it is an issue that needs to be addressed soon because of the many problems that come with it. In certain areas of the world the way this situation is handled or not handled varies depending on social class. The rich focuses on reducing the use of fossil fuels in their own community because they have the money and time to do so. Whereas the poor main focus is surviving day to day, not the condition of the planet. A more efficient solution to the pollution problem would be to find alternative resources that have a better impact on the planet such as wind, water and sun and actually try to make it available everywhere to save the ecosystem. The route that the world is going with fossil fuel pollution though isn't pleasant. Therefore, using the "island civilization" method will basically force the different social classes to work amongst themselves to come up with ways to reduce or stop fossil fuel pollution for the sake of their own islands, if not for the ecosystem itself.
