Environmental concerns have become global issues that can no longer be limited to the cause of, nor be remedied by, only one state.

Environmental concerns have become global issues that can no longer be limited to the cause of, nor be remedied by, only one state. Melting polar ice caps, destruction of the rain forest, pollution of the oceans, the extinction of animals and loss of preserved lands are only a handful of the issues that must be addressed by all of the world's countries. 

For this week's post, research online a story/article/case involving an environmental issue that appeals to you and discusses what is being done about the problem on a global scale. Topics for discussion may include: Who is involved in the matter and why? Are there any international agreements governing the matter? Do you agree/disagree with what is being done on a global scale to combat the issue?
