2000's
“The Green Movement” is a political ideology that tries to combine government with sustainable management of our environment and our resources. It has been growing since the 1970’s, but has begun to take hold on many people in this decade. Not to mention, President Obama has been introducing new standards and regulations for certain industries such as car production. Along with this, people are now being taxed to help develop renewable and sustainable energy sources.

Obama’s newly introduced standards for car and truck emissions are quite the annoyance. Now automobile companies may have to alter their designs to meet these criteria. This could cost them money and time thinking up new designs, especially since lately the American automobile companies haven’t been doing their best. This will do nothing but hinder their success. He is also increasing the standards for appliances, and this will have the same effects on their companies. Another thing that he is doing, through the Investment Recovery and Reinvestment Act, is including billions of taxpayer dollars for renewable resources, for expanding clean energy technology capacity manufacturing, and for creating sustainable jobs. All of this money is a waste and is being paid through our taxes, which could have decreased instead. None of these investments matter anyway, the Earth is fine.
ReplyDeleteThe “green movement” is one of the utmost importance, and Al Gore’s Inconvenient truth is a brilliant film. This film reveals the terrors of global warming. If we were concerned before, its nothing compared to what we should have been concerned about. Offshore oil drilling has always been a problem but I think that the Gulf oil Spill epitomizes why that is no longer acceptable. If we continue to degrade our environment like we have been for the past five decades, we're going to become extinct. Consider the example of the lily pads, we now know that our environment matters even more in terms of over population, or biodiversity is at stake!
