- A) What is your vision for a sustainable world?
- B) What are you planning to do to make this vision a reality?
- C) What impact has colonization had on our journey to a sustainable planet?
A) My vision for a sustainable world would be based on solar and wind powered electricity. Little to no gas would be used for cars or in factories. People would be vegetarians to help keep a sustainable animal population.
B) I will limit my family's use of Coal and oil-based fuel and convince other people around me.I will help keep a sustainable animal population by being a vegetarian and convincing others to become vegetarians as well.
C) Colonization has impacted our planet in many ways. For example, America was completely forested and the humans living there took only what they needed to survive. Once the Europeans such as the Spanish, Dutch, French and English came in, they changed the land in many ways. They deforested a lot land, destroying habitats for native animals.They also spread diseases that wiped out the population of native animals and people there. If the Europeans didn't come, America would most likely still have roaming animals and Native people performing rituals.
