1.How does your footprint reflect the economy of your country, including its colonial relations?
My footprint affects all that I do or use, for example clothes, food and others things, as we usually don't know what was the ardous process that begins log before the manufacturing until it reaches our hands. We never knew how the industries make our thinks. Also I spend a lot of energy and water and this is bad for the palnet
2.How are the effects of climate change related with power inbalances among countries or within countries?
The colonial relations in the past were direct because they came here to steel and slave us themselves, but now in the present they don't slave, they make agreements, but not very confident agreements. For example they want to get something in our land, and pay us to get it, but we take the thing in outlaw and sell the product and in the same time we the enviroment, the question is Who is the blameable? i know is a difficult question.... the blame is of who want to get and pay, and don't ask about how got it? or Is our blame for sell it? I think that the blame is of both, because they order, and we do it.
This is an indirect relation, all that just because are a very rich countries and poor countries.

Hi, thanks for your post! My name is Summer and I'm one of your mentors for this project. I was interested in your questions about who is to blame when someone orders someone else to do something that damages the environment. What do you think a person or group of people can do to protect the environment when there are power imbalances in their country?
