These firms have done the most amount of damage to the environment. Most of these companies are oil companies from the Middle East (such as Saudi Aramco). The reason why oil companies are one the biggest contributors to environmental damage is because the combustion of fossil fuels can cause climate change. Also, energy companies are big contributors to climate change since most of them are not yet on the path to providing greener/cleaner energy.

Rana Plaza Bangledesh

2024-11-12 02:47:47 UTC

Rana Plaza was a collapsed factory used to produce textile garments for Fast Fashion. This factory had poor working conditions and an unstable structure, which caused it to collapse under lots of workers. The day before the collapse, the workers were told to evacuate after finding a crack. However, they later told all the workers that they fixed the problem and told all workers to resume their work. However, the generators they added prior to this were too heavy, and many workers were crushed. This has a pretty significant impact on the fashion business as it lowers the reputation of the fashion business for not caring about working conditions, and also lowers the output of the business.

Pesticide

Pesticides are commonly used in farming companies, usually as the image shows, using large sprinklers that cover a large area. This, however, creates the risk of these pesticides flowing to nearby local water sources such as rivers and lakes, basically poisoning them and causing environmental harm

OIL RIG

2024-11-12 02:57:41 UTC

Oil rigs are mass polluters as they emit green house gases Methane and volatile organic compounds, due to incomplete combustion. Oil and gas facilities in the United States emitted 316 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2022, an increase of 1.2 percent from the previous year. Increases such as these will have irreversable damage to our planet if this continues to happen. Oil rigs are one of the mass pollutants of the planet.

SOIL DAMAGE 🛢️🛢️🔥🔥

2024-11-12 03:01:19 UTC

At endemic population levels, herbivorous arthropods defoliate approximately 5–15% of the canopy in temperate forests (Cebrian, 1999; Cyr and Pace, 1993). Damage increases considerably during outbreak years and nearly all of the foliage in an area can be removed by herbivores, shifting forests from acting as carbon sinks to carbon sources. Canopy damage is a combination of herbivore population size, community composition, and individual consumption rates, all of which have been shown to respond to atmospheric change.
