part of wider social, environmental, political, economic and globalist contexts. This approach also makes clear the differences and links between natural climate changes and human-induced climate changes. In other words, interdisciplinary ways of seeing can reveal how anthropogenic and natural alterations of the environment work together, and assess potential risks for people and their habitats. The approach then brings to the table different disciplines, stressing dynamics that link natural and…
connections between how one treats color, and the underclass on the one hand and how one treats the nonhuman natural environment on the other'' (xi). Warren points out that ecological feminists are of the view that the failure to recognize such close ''connections seriously is grossly inadequate'' (''Taking Empirical Data'', 3). As a consequence, Warren stresses the interconnection between human and nonhuman nature; she is against the various kinds of domination such as racial domination, class…
age. Green design can be defined as the ‘creation of buildings which are energy-efficient healthy, eco-friendly, comfortable, flexible in use and designed for long life’. Besides, Green design should have the least impact for the environment, both in terms of products and materials used in the construction but in the functionality of the building.

Our natural environment serves as an essential part of our world. Some have suggested that, “Everything humans have needed to survive, and thrive, was provided by the natural world” (Hance, 2011, para.1). There is a significant amount of studies that correlates the interaction with nature to measurable benefits to people (Keniger, Gaston, Irvine & Fuller, 2013, para.1). Specifically, benefits to cognitive performance, physical health, psychological well-being have been linked closely to nature…

Reducing the environmental impact of humans has steadily become a greater issue for governments and citizens alike. We have recently become more aware of climate change through different documentaries and scientist reports. Our environmental impact does not only affect our climate, it affects our biodiversity and even the air we breathe. As our population has grown exponential over the past century, so has our environmental impact. Quite recently a greater number of influential people and…
n.d.). Biodiversity is extremely important to the economy, medical research and genetic diversity. Furthermore, this aspect of biodiversity also introduces other aspects of environmental politics like management of resources and control of the environment. These 3 aspects are highly interconnected and work together to frame the narrative in Mumbai. The presence of mangroves leads to the many different species of fish and crustaceans ("Why Should We Protect Mangroves."n.p., n.d.). The abundance…
