Blog #3 about final paper

For my final I did question number 2 which dealt with Slade’s text “Made to Break”. After writing the paper I realized how hard it is going to be for not only our country to continue with the going green movement but how hard it will be globally. The arguments that are evidence that is presented in the book is only just a start to the reasons of why it will be so hard. After doing a little outside research on the topic and understanding the mindsets of other communist countries I really do believe that our environment is in serious danger. Although the only way to fix our environment is to go green I really don’t think it is logical or economical, globally we have gone too far and it is going to be very difficult to turn it around.

            I do also think that it can be done with recent research being done on how to eliminate so many of these different toxins to our earth.  In order to succeed with the movement we need people all around the world to by in and not just people in our nation because our nation is just a fraction of the whole equation. The part that is so scary to me is the rate that other countries are becoming so dependent on technology like are country. Slade has a brief portion of his book where he talks about how fast china, one of the most populated countries in the world, is becoming dependent on technology more rapidly than any other country ever has. Seeing that other countries that are far more populates are becoming so reliant on all of this technology that is available is going to make it even more difficult.

            Even getting people on board in the United States is going to be so hard. All producers are doing is giving the people what they desire so it is interesting to see how many people just point the finger at the producers when the people who are pointing the finger a lot of the time are purchasing these products that are producing all of this e-waist. If we really want to go green we need to stop cold turkey with purchasing products that have harmful chemicals in them that can potentially ruin our environment. The problem to this is it will be so difficult to control in other countries that are so rapidly forming such a strong addiction to technology.
