Answer 3

This is too big a question to answer here. I can only suggest some lines.

Increased transportation because of globalization means increased consumption of fossil fuels, increased emissions into the atmosphere, etc., all of which impact the environment.

Increased economic specialization resulting from globalization generally impacts the environment. An area specializing in agricultural production for export generally experiences a significant increase in land area under monoculture, with environmental consequences. Agricultural practices for increased productivity (intensive fertilization, use of herbicides and pesticides, irrigation) all impact the environment. An area specializing in some form of industrial or manufacturing production for export typically has increased pollution levels that frequently cross the threshold of the environmental capacity for adaptation. Furthermore, the area impacted by such production is generally much larger than when the production is for local consumption.

You might look for the book "Environmental Impacts of Globalization and Trade: A Systems Study" by Corey L. Lofdahl, MIT Press, 2002, in a library. "In making explicit the complex causal connections between world trade and environmental degradation, the book finds that GNP increases in the rich, developed countries are linked to deforestation in the poorer, developing countries."
