Environment degradation has become one of the most serious global catastrophes. It has reached a point that could threaten the survival of humanity as well as other species. Individuals as well as groups of people are to be held responsible for the issues of environmental pollution and depletion of natural resources. It is true that many recent discoveries have brought undeniable benefits to humanity. However, it has become clear that the application of these discoveries in the fields of industry and agriculture has produced long-term harmful effects.
