Chapter 24 (747-755)

The end is here. I have finished the the entire Ways of the World World History book. This last little bit discusses the environmental changes in the twentieth century. Not only have we grown vastly in human numbers but also the use of our energy has increased now that we have access to oil. Both of these increase our economic growth rapidly and will continue as years pass. The second little part of this section is about environmentalism and environmentalists. Today there are far more organizations than ever in the nineteenth  century. Many more people are working to "save our Earth." We are recognizing that the development of out industries and many other factors are increasing the risk of a dying planet. We are trying as well as learning the best ways to save our Earth.
