are a few processes that are destroying earth are ozone depletion, biodiversity loss, chemical pollution, ocean acidification and deforestation (Chen). Ozone depletion means that the ozone in the stratosphere is wearing out causing a hole in the ozone.

Most nations are in agreement that addressing greenhouse gas emissions as a way to contain Global Warming and its disastrous consequences is imperative, yet still; the world community has yet to form a comprehensive policy that gives each individual country reasonable standards which to…

The tragedy of the commons is about how shared resources are easily overused and depleted because there is no sense of ownership or responsibility associated with the resource. As people don’t associate it as their own they typically will not think about protecting it, replenishing it, or taking responsibility for it.
