ReplyDeleteOur group came up with three possibilities to curve the current trend:
1. We should be recycling and reusing more than we currently do. Turning off lights and appliances when not in use should also be stressed.
2. Recylcing centers should be available to even the most remote areas/ and or recycling trucks make their rounds through communities just as garbage trucks do.
3. Care for the environment should be more heavily stressed within the school systems. Children should be learning, from an early age, the dire urgency of the planet's ecosystems.

ReplyDeleteThe best way to curve the current trends is to reduce population growth which in turn will decrease or slow consumption of natural resources.
Huge environmental awareness campaigns would educate the masses about current ecological problems so they could effect change in governments and the private sectors as well.

ReplyDeleteWe chose to answer question 1:
*Elect officials in the government that care, and will change the way we as a society live.
*Government needs to set standards and mandates that EVERYONE has to abide by
*Better adevertisement of facts and proof, unfortunately too many people don't honestly believe there is a problem... There needs to be better proof to show the world, we need to have a more aware society.
*Make it easier to recycle, maybe by having recycle bins a long side our trash cans when trash gets picked up
*Shop at local markets and local venders
*Carpool as much as possible, walk and ride bikes as much as possible, and use more energy effecient cars and trucks.
Something needs to be done to stablize mass production, because the mass production effects the environment on more ways then we realize.
