The underlying causes are said to be consumerism, industrialisation, technological innovation, population growth, income inequality. There is some examples of interaction between environment and globalization. Scale and composition of economic activity changes, and consumption increases, allowing for more widely dispersed externalities. Income increases, creating more resources for environmental protection. Besides that, techniques change as technologies are able to extract more from nature but can also become cleaner. Next, global interactions facilitate exchange of environmental knowledge and best practices. Environmental consciousness also increases with emergence of global environmental networks and civil society movements. Other than that, globalization facilitates the spread of existing technologies and the emergence of new technologies, often replacing existing technologies with more extractive alternatives; greener technologies may also be spurred. Globalization helps spread a homogenization of consumption-driven
