Environmental problems will require a joint effect among people to solve, however, environmental problems may not cause people to come together. Should the problems continue for an extended period of time before any effort is made to solve them, they will reach a point of no return no matter how people come together to work on it. When this happens there will be increased shortage in our natural recourses. As supply of our resources goes down and demand remains the same or goes up there will be increased pressure to claim what resources remain. So instead of people working together to solve the problem, they will be fighting for what’s left by the problem.

To solve this, people need to come together before the problem reaches a state of no return. This may be hard to do since the effects of environmental problems are not yet felt by a large degree (if felt at all) by everyone. At this point in time many feel it is not there problem to worry about since it does not immediately affect them. To remedy this people should become more aware of their current environment.
