What are the effects of industrialization on the environment?

I’ll sum this up in a few points, just to add to the other answers out there. These are the effects of industrialization on the environment:Pollution. Industrialization normally adds to pollution in air, water, soil, due to the waste products it produces.Extraction. Industrialization makes use of resources - raw materials from the land, water, perhaps wood and plants, fossil fuels, etc. This has an effect on the environment, since demand for all these goes up, and more quantities are extracted from the land.Urbanization. Industrialization needs people to work in factories. So, people move from rural/agricultural areas, that are spread out, to industrialized cities, that are concentrated. A higher population puts added pressure on the local environment.Waste material. Industrialization produces a greater amount of waste, both directly as a result of production of goods, as well as the disposal of those goods once their purpose has been served. For example, if a factory makes plastic furniture, it produces waste plastic … and once the plastic furniture is worn, it is added to the rubbish pile too.Finally, there is a possible long term beneficial impact. Industrialization adds to the wealth of society, and makes a greater quantity of goods available at lower cost, thus uplifting the lives of many. If managed properly, with ill effects kept limited, this will allow humanity to have the resources to better manage the environment while having a high standard of living.

The roaring 20's led to the great depression?

You may want to 'bone up' on your Great Depression history. Try reading anything about that era written by the brilliant historian Paul Johnson (e.g. "Modern Times" or "A History of the American People").

The Great Depression was a DIRECT consequence of misconceived government interference in the economy after the market crashed. The feds deflated the dollar when they should have left it alone (or inflated it). The feds raised taxes when they should have lowered them. The feds passed the Smoot-Hawley Act that destroyed international trade (killing millions of U.S. jobs!).

Then, in the late 1930s, FDR got his New Deal accepted by the Supreme Court (they had previously ruled it unconstitutional - because it was unconstitutional). When the New Deal went into effect, the economy crashed again - creating the second phase of depression, the so-called FDR
Depression.

Do a little reading on this subject. There is a lot to be learned about how government screws things up and the 'little people' pay the price.

It is important to study this past time period, because we currently have two presidential candidates who want to implement some of the same government programs/policies that created the Great Depression. It is more than coincidence that our economy is faltering (markets look forward in anticapation of future realities) in response to rational fears that these candidates may be successful in implementing their disastorous ideas. History does repeat itself - primarily because most people never take the time to study it!
