The Green House Effect Analysis

American Wilderness has changed considerably since the Europeans settlement of the Plymouth Colony. These changes have caused massive damage to the American wilderness. Americans, as a population, refuse to take responsibilities that their actions are causing damage even after the worst man-made ecological disaster, the Dust Bowl. Many authors have written about the damages humans have caused to the wilderness. McKibben and Pollan are two of these authors. McKibben wrote about the Green House Effect and how Americans have contributed to this world disaster. Pollan took a different approach and wrote about how what we eat and how we grow and maintain food sources are causing damage to the wilderness. They both agree that this damage is
being caused due to the fact that Americans are trying to save, more importantly, make money. Even though the cost is reduced by using chemicals, the fact remains that the wilderness is being damaged evidenced by negative changes in the wilderness, food production is leaving behind toxic waste, and that there is a hole in the earth's ozone layer.
