    George W. Bush's Environmental Policies

    George W. Bush was the 43rd president of the United States of America. His administration implemented many policies, but I am going to focus on some of his environmental policies. Some may say that Bush didn’t care about the environment because he rarely attempted to approach environmental policy in 2000 through 2008. Even though he didn’t do much, he did manage to regulate air quality and drop air pollution by 12%. George Bush also signed the Great Lakes Legacy Act and Brownfields Legislation of 2002. The Great Lakes Legacy Act of 2002 allowed the government to clean up contaminated lakes in order to make the water more pure. As for the Brownfields Legislation of 2002, this act rushed the revitalization of old industrial sites in order to…

    EPA Doing More To Fight Environmental Injustice

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should be doing more to fight the environmental injustice spreading throughout our country. Right now with all of the budget cuts that are forced to happen due to the recession and need for jobs, it probably won’t happen for awhile. The injustice due to toxic dumping and other pollutants are not being handled as swiftly as they should be handled. The reason for that is because the area that is affected is not a big campaign contributor to a state or government politician. There has always been and always will be institutionalized racism or classism, because only certain classes of people are affected by corporate waste.…

    Greenpeace"the Environment Protectors

    As inhabitants of this Earth, one of our main priorities is to protect the environment that has been given to us. While many people may have forgotten about the importance of protecting and maintaining Earth, there exists a series of organizations whose main purpose is to protect all natural aspects of the planet we call home. One of the major and oldest organizations is Greenpeace. The main goal of Greenpeace, as explained by the organization, is “to expose environmental criminals, and to challenge government and corporations when they fail to live up to their mandate”. One of the Greenpeace environmental focuses is to protect the ocean, beaches, and waves. They set up clear objectives and are serious about attaining their goals.

    Environmental Politics

    Waste generation in North America has grown considerably within the last century and it is only projected to increase in the future. Many politicians and economists will argue that this increase in waste over the years is due an increase in population during the last century. Their argument is essentially, more people create more waste. Their argument is logical, however a more probable cause for this increase in waste may lie in the ever-increasing consumer economy that is being facilitated through globalization. Globalization has spawned the creation of transnational commodity chains. Transnational commodity chains create problems with managing and reducing waste by way of distancing between consumers in the global North and their waste; This characteristic of transnational commodity chains make it easier for consumers to ignore or be ignorant of the true costs of their waste, which is problematic in determining a solution to the ever-growing problem of waste throughout the world.…
