Earth Democracy in Action Reflection

Page history last edited by Javi 13 years, 5 months ago

The environment is a vital global concern. Ultimately, we live on a planet that is one of a kind, when we ruin it, its gone. And although I may convey a message that the environment is over emphasized, this is not the message I wish to pass along. In fact, the Environment is perhaps under played in its importance. What I am trying to convey however is that there is an order of priorities that need be followed before we can devote the world's energy to conserving the environment. When people are dying from poor sanitation or other basic human needs, they must be addressed first. When a country is dying of poverty and it's only source of income relies on the destruction of its Rain Forest, human nature will dictate preservation of the self rather than the forest.

 

When we sit from our comfortable air conditioned homes and look at the impact of trees being cut and the environment being destroyed its easy to make judgments and believe in conservation, this is Disparity. Disparity is not a manner of only economics but the social misunderstanding that disparity in monetary wealth brings.
