Реферат: We Have An Environmental Crisis Because We

There are many other long term issues involved within environmental crisis. Some of these are air pollution, garbage, logging and erosion. Often governments overlook these problems when creating new policies because they seem to be more concerned with immediate economic considerations. Globally, there is an indifference towards environmental issues and a lack of concern for the well-being of the world environment today. These examples have illustrated that people put their own personal needs before the survival of the earth. The developed nations of the earth need to take a larger responsibility for the environment, as they have been educated to the ill effects of pollution and over-population and they have only themselves to blame for environmental destruction. As for the people in the nations of the South, population growth needs to be slowed possibly by educating women about contraception, economic incentives, people interested in careers, less infant mortality and increasing the cost of children.

Apathy and inaction can be reversed by concerted and effective Government policies

that encourage personal, social and economic benefits. Apathy must be resisted if our planet is to survive.
