It's had an enormous impact on the environment. For starters, many firms will violate environmental protection laws because it cuts costs in production. It costs more to produce cleanly, so there's an incentive to not produce cleanly. Fortunately, there are laws that create better incentives for firms to produce cleanly. Manufacturing has increased its efficiency many-fold due to industrialization and the use of machines, but this has also put more demands on the environment because nature has less time to repair itself.

Industrialization is like everything: nor good not bad, depending on its usage. I think the worst problem environment has suffered since industrial revolution is looking everything as a line, not a circle.
We just have to learn from nature: everything is a cycle (even the air we breathe has its own cycle). We have to begin foreseeing my consecuences as industry in other things, and what do I need to get there. Now logistics has turned into supply chain, quality has passed from linear to continuous re-check. We should addapt ourselves to cycles.
I propose three basic ideas to get there:
a) Efficiency in all in ones: creating products which make other product's functions already in market..but in one...we are already swimming in a bunch of objects we never find. You can sell them a little lower of the sum of the other objects to have an advantage and use less materials to create them. Ex: all in one process follower, library, calculator and paper for writing ideas--called computer :P
b) Use your wastes and already not functional finished products. You never know who will use your waste as a raw material and have money for yourself. Also, as all human are lazy by nature, give your customers an advantage if they deliver you your old product in a clean reusable condition. You can have third parties.
c) The use of simulation and math models to see how all variables will interact and find the point where everyone can win

wastage of energy ,natural resources,etc.
it has many advese effects on the earth somewhere or the other it affects even the o-zone layer n this gives direct falling of ultra violet rays.It affects the soil too, it reduces the fertility of soil.Plastic industries affect the most according to me.
