In the article, “Why Bother” by Michael Pollan, we see him discuss many arguments on why we should do our part in going green. His inspiration to start living green was inspired by Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.

Furthermore, the plants found in these savannahs are dependent on frequent fires to clear out the invasive species so they do not have to compete for light and also to sustain…

Over the past century we have seen not only our population skyrocket, but also our technological capacity increase exponentially. My worldview, primarily eco-centric, is focused on the incredible potential of technology to create sustainable harmony between humanity and the earth.

Our resources are limited and should not be wasted, this traces back to the fundamental property of the…
