    The Anasazi were a people that is a prime example of demise to an exceeded carrying capacity. The carrying capacity can be altered depending on the environment, available resources, and the individuals themselves. One of the major downfalls of the Anasazi was that they failed to anticipate climate conditions, specifically drought, and as a result could not support their growing population.

    With technological strides forward, the Industrial Revolution of the mid-19th century introduced new sources of air. By the middle of the 20th century, the effects of these changes were beginning to be revealed in many countries around the world. In the 1960s, an environmental movement began to emerge that sought to remove the flow of pollutants to the planet’s ecosystems. Out of this movement came events like Earth Day, and legislative victories like 1960’s Clean Air Act. In 1963, in an effort to reduce air pollution, the U.S. Congress passed the Clean Air Act, legislation which has been amended and strengthened in the ensuing decades.…

    Chronic asthma is an increasing issue in the United States, primarily in children living in inner-city regions. Two strong environmental factors, ozone and airborne particles, have shown to play an important role in the onset of this issue. The rise in temperature correlates with an increase in ozone, resulting in an increased risk of developing asthma. High exposure to environmental air particles, such as those exhibited from major highways, have also shown to increase the development of asthma and asthmatic symptoms. Costs for health care treatment for asthma also creates challenges.…

    I believe political reactions to societal issues such as people’s health and the amount of deaths caused by pollution has made a bigger difference in reducing air pollution in the United States. Politicians can create and enforce laws that people must follow, therefore guaranteeing a difference. However, it takes both political and societal reactions to actually make a difference, politicioans may make laws and set regulations but it is up to society to follow them in order to make a difference. (So in my opinion both political and societal reactions go hand in hand and one could not make a difference without the other.) The Clean Air Act regulates human activity by monitoring industrial/power plants, requiring them to have permits and allowing…
