Ecological Degradation 5.1
Nature isolation and environmental world view
Companies don't pay for the costs of gods when they provide the goods.
An average of 1 in 3 individuals live on a dollar 2.25 a day close to a 2014.
There is a lack of education in environmental effects.
IPAT:I = way to calculate the impact of humans on the environment. IPAT is an equation that expresses the idea that environmental impact (I) is the product of three factors: population (P), affluence (A) and technology (T).
Natural Resources and Capital
There is a perennial cycle by the human activity involving fossil fuels that later cause problems that perpetuate to others and themselves.
There are renewable, nonrenewable and inexhaustible resources.
Rapid use of resources, contamination and irresponsible consumerism lead to problems.
Goods: ncluding clean air, clean water, landscape, green transport infrastructure.
Services: include the provision of raw materials and energy used to produce goods and services, as well as the removal of waste from human activities, and their role in life support and landscape maintenance.
Eco footprint: The ecological footprint measures human demand on nature, i.e., the quantity of nature it takes to support people or an economy. It tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system.
Population and Economy
Better economy = higher eco footprint since more are consumed
Pupulation is growng rxponentialy
Affluent countries consume lots of the resources but the affluence can allow the improvement of eduction about environmental issues, therefore, reduce pollution.
17% of the people in the world consume 70% of the world's resources.
Nature isolation and environmental world view
competing wv are some of the groups that are more affected than the others by the degradation of the ecological disasters.
Competing world view: wealth is the goal, no care, individualism.
Products that are made with huge exploitation of natural resources.
Half of the world population is urban and are lacking the education to see what are the huge pollution and environmental problems.
There is competition of using resources instead of saving them.
Tragedy of the commons: is an economic problem that results in overconsumption, under investment, and ultimately depletion of a common-pool resource. For a tragedy of the commons to occur a resource must be scarce, rivalrous in consumption, and non-excludable.
