“In his novel, “Earth”, David Brin makes the statement that “only people with full stomachs become environmentalists.” How do you address this statement.
“In his novel, “Earth”, David Brin makes the statement that “only people with full stomachs become environmentalists.” How do you address this statement especially considering these three issues usually centered in underdeveloped countries: 1) acid rain vs. burning of high sulfur coal 2) soil erosion vs. famine and drought 3) farm land vs. rain forests This is a five paragraph OP. Your textbook should be enough of a resource for you if you need to research information. Paragraph 1: Introduction; your response to and interpretation of David Brin’s statement. Think Maslow’s hierarchy of basic needs and the challenges that especially underdeveloped countries often face considering the standard of living available for their citizens. Paragraph 2: Discuss the issue of acid rain vs. burning of high sulfur coal. Paragraph 3: Discuss the issue of soil erosion vs. famine and drought. Paragraph 4: Discuss the issue of farm land vs. rain forests. Paragraph 5: Conclusions/suggestions/summary statement. I am hoping for you to recognize a level of personal responsibility here for all of these issues. Me hearing that “they” should do something about this is not an acceptable conclusion for this assignment.”
