Andrew Hui Canada 1c pre conference- Colonial context
thinking back to your carbon footprint, consider how the footprint, power imbalances, and the effects of climate change are connected.
How does your footprint reflect the economy of your country, including its colonial relations?
How are the effects of climate change related to power imbalances among countries or within countries?
When complete, please post your blog here.
My carbon footprint reflects my economy pretty well as Canada as shown in the fact that many of the products my family and I use many products that have been exported from other countries including the USA and China which are some of the major exporters of products to Canada.
Climate change effects relate to power imbalances among countries and within countries by affecting their economy. Some of the countries have power imbalances because of their resources. An example of this is in Papa new Guniea where there was a power imbalance between the people who live there and companies who have taken over the lumber industry there which has changed the lives of the papa new Guniea people to such a point where they are trying to speak out against these companies.
