What steps are being taken to adress the envirnmental challenges brought on by industrializing in europe

The effects of the industrialization in Europe's natural environment have been devastating in lots of places. Because of this, big portion of the governments have been making reforms in order to protect the environment, as well as the health of the people.

  Some of the biggest reforms have been in the usage of renewable energy, such as the solar energy, and the wind energy. Both types, the solar and wind energy, and for free, do little to no damage to the environment, and gradually in the past few decades their usage have been steadily increasing.

  Some of the countries have been heavily investing in these types of energy, and that has contributed to their bigger usage, and drop in the usage of the fossil fuels. The idea is to totally replace the fossil fuels with the renewable energy in the future.
