Question 1

The world faces many environmental problems, but the effect on humans will not be the same in all parts of the world. Those who live in developing countries, the poor, and indigenous peoples will suffer more. “Eco-justice” is the goal to protect and share the Earth and its resources more fairly. Describe some details of your own “action plan” to help the environment and to improve eco-justice.

Answer

The solution to this problem is by having a steady population. By having a steady population our plans for the environment will be more accurate because it removes most of the uncertain factors such as pollution emission per year, trees cut per year and e.t.c. Furthermore, as our population grew so did poverty, food insecurity and job unemployment. Therefore by having a steady population we reduce the number of people who feel that in the future. Also, as our population grows so does the number of resources used and our pollution emission. Therefore having a steady population is a long-term solution. After we have a steady population we need to make governments invest in renewable energy sources. For the countries running low on money, we will set up charities and ask governments to help them. Next, we need to find out how much resources we use are sustainable. Finally, we need to make international laws preventing countries from using materials unsustainably and not using renewable energy. I don’t want to make a steady population a law because that’s communist.


To improve eco-justice developing countries need to stop exploiting developed countries. Furthermore, We also need a standard minimum wage. Having a standard minimum wage decreases food insecurity and poverty and allows a country's economy to grow. With the rise in economic growth, developing countries can now invest more in renewable energy. If some countries still don't have enough money we will set up charities and ask governments for money. The positives of this solution are less food insecurity, poverty, factories can't exploit people, countries' economies would rise, and countries will be more eco-justice. The downfall for this solution is factories would lose money, not every place will be eco-justice, and countries can still exploit others. There is no excuse for first nations not being eco-justice because most of them live in developed countries. It’s one of the easiest problems to solve. If you get third-class treatment in a first-class country then that’s oppression.
