Jill Stein's Fight For The Environment

Everybody knows all about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton at this point, but with these two candidates failing to satisfy the American people, more citizens are beginning to look towards using their votes for other candidates, rather than supporting the lesser of two evils. With so many people losing faith in both their candidates and their political parties, it is important that the public know all about the two leading third party candidates, namely Jill Stein of the Green Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party. They experience reasonable success considering their lack of media exposure and mainstream appeal, and this can be attributed to their relevant and well thought out platforms. Stein and Johnson share a fair amount of common

Writer, William Blumenfield, in his Huffington Post article, “ Environmental Justice a Form of Social Justice,” details the perceptive and political fallibilities of the Republican party in regards to their courses of action towards environmental justice aims. His inclination is to convey the err in their claims and capitalistic objectives, and to promote his ideology that social justice cannot occur without there first being strives to combat against environmental degradation. He develops a strong, but misplaced, pathos throughout his article, devoid of purposeful facts, resulting in a weak argument seemingly based on his resentment towards the Republican party. Blumenfield’s argument is weak in the fact that is argues based on unapologetically tearing down the other side instead of advocating his point while respectfully pointing out the flaws of conflicting views.

After her family fell ill she contacted Mark Edwards. After Edwards conducted research he found 133 times the EPA lead limit. (Paynter 96-97) The author wrote, “The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality told Waiters the Problem was likely inside her house only” (Paynter 97). This shows that the government avoided a serious problem by telling Walters that the problem was in her home. This is while her family fell very ill and the Department of Environmental Quality completely ignored her concerns. However, not only do the people of Flint believe that the government has been absent through this crisis; so does Hillary Clinton, the Democratic representative for this year’s presidential election. When asked about the water crisis in an interview with James Comey, Clinton states that, “[Snyder] acted as though he didn’t really care.” This shows that even other politicians are dumbfounded by Governor Snyder's actions towards this. This statement did not stop others politicians to attack Snyder. Senator of Vermont Bernie Sanders did not hold back. He went as far as calling for his resignation.

My book was called Eyes Wide Open: Going Behind the Environmental Headlines by Paul Fleischman. I learned many things from this book, one of them being that companies use materials to make their products that are detrimental to the environment, and harmful to the workers or animals involved in making the product. These corporations are able to get away with it because they have a lot of money, and that means that they can pay people to release propaganda saying that their product is not harmful to anything, and advertisements saying that the people who are speaking out against their product are radical environmentalists. They can also create fake environmental groups that supposedly support the company's product. They can also influence politicians

With the well-being of future generations in mind, environmental concerns have begun to establish a permanent residence atop the priority ladder for a vast array of Americans. Consequently, writers and political pundits alike are seizing this opportunity to capitalize on advocating their stance on the issue. Information, representing all positions, pours in at an unrelenting and unfathomable rate. For the average American it can be an arduous process sifting through all the rhetoric in attempt to find the real truth regarding our impact as humans on the environment; one such example is Susan Brown’s article The EPA’s Mercury Problem. In this article Brown attempts to expose hypocrisy among progressives by paralleling the Environmental Protection

The Green party has become imperative for the 21st century yet without it being a major political party people rather choose the “less of two evils” and instead become mad at the green party when it begins to take away votes for the Democratic Party an idea that grew from Nader’s candidacy which allowed George W. Bush to take the win “Social movements die in the Democratic Party but they grow in dependent, alternative parties” (TruDeau). Like many people who believe in the Green Party or who simply care about the environment or are increasingly becoming more aware of the harm we are doing to the earth it is becoming clear that the world needs to stray away from the duopoly system if we want to aim for those changes to be made. As small as they may seem now third-party candidates are imposing a threat to Democrat and Republicans and are being pushed back into corners. However I believe there will come a point where gaining money and economical stimulation will no longer be priority. The world is slowly running out of its natural resources and we are creating problems that are on the verge of causing the death of the planet and everyone in it. The world needs help but many live under the mentality that it wont happen in our lifetime but it is very real and we cannot live under the assumption that it will not happen and simply leave our children to fight to stay alive. We cannot

The New Democratic Party promises to improve the environmental situation that we are currently living in. Our

With the Presidential Election drawing closer to American’s everyday, voters have a choice for President for the next four years. Yet the questions remains as to what truly drives voters to go to the polls every four years. American’s face many issues in this election; however, the issue I’m going to focus on boils down to one simple thing: EPA Regulation and coal. Coal has been seen as a main source of energy in multiple states such as Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. During the past eight years, the production of coal has suffered due to excessive regulation by both the Obama Administration and the EPA. With all of this being said, I will be voting for Donald Trump for President and Mike Pence for Vice President under the Republican

She fights for the economy and the middle class, working to turn Michigan’s economy around and cut taxes for the middle class. Yet, most of the biggest issues in Michigan deal with the environment such as solar energy, the dying off of bees and global warming. However, the most pressing issue in Michigan environment is the pollution in the water, especially in the Great Lakes and more recently with the toxic water in Flint. Protecting the Great Lakes is one of Stabenow’s most important issues as she “believes protecting our Great Lakes for future generations must be a top priority” (“Protecting Our Great Lakes”). In Flint, the entire water supply was toxic and dangerously unsafe to use, severely harming hundreds of people as there was no other water to use. It became a huge controversy as news was leaked that the mayor of Flint knew about the toxic water supply and did nothing to stop the problem. Stabenow has been a huge supporter in helping Flint get the clean water the town deserves. Stabenow and Gary Peters, the other Michigan senator, proposed a 220-million-dollar bill that would directly help the situation and Flint and hopefully give them new, clean water (Burke, “$220M Proposal Affecting

It states that Canada’s environment has been a prime resource of a successful and flourishing economy. The party believes that we are treating our environment more like a business in liquidation. Furthermore, they feel we are destroying our environment through excessive wastefulness of natural resources and a consistent lack of protection for the environment. Leaving a “legacy” that future generations will be left to clean up. The green party is a strong supporter of collectivism rather than individualism considering that they long to create a healthy future for all Canadians. The ideologies of capitalism, classical liberalism and individualism in this case would likely seek to prioritize the business side of the environment, further damaging it through continued wastefulness to continue company profits. The Green party believes that it’s the collective’s civic duty to keep our environment safe for all future generations rather than seeing it exploited for

As environmental and suitability movements continue to evolve and grow, the importance of bringing society from a state of awareness to one of consciousness is key to their long term success. Finding a way for people to have an emotional connection and reaction to the issues that face our world today as they relate to sustainability will likely be the turning point for more universal support and

However, Gore does not just present the problem. He issues the challenge for the scientific community to seek ways to solve the problem, but he points out that these measures must be taken now. The problem is so severe that actions must be immediate in order to be effective. Comparing today’s environmental problems to the wartime challenges faced by the World War Two generation, Gore urges today’s citizens and scientists to rise to the occasion and be willing to sacrifice, if necessary, to solve the problems that society has created.

Stein 's views on the environment and climate change are very clear. She states she would want the government to pass laws and regulations to prevent any future climate changes. Stein believes that this is a real issue. She is not trying to hide the problem and avoid the conversation. She wants to tackle it head on and try to prevent it from further harming our planet and I completely agree with her. This is such an important issue that needs everyone 's attention. We only get one planet, so we need to help preserve it. She also states she wants to help protect the earth for our future generations. She is not just thinking about the present, but also the future and I find that extremely admirable. This country needs a leader that is going to take the initiative to not only better us nationally, but

In Michelle Smith and Elizabeth Parsons’ article Animating child activism: Environmentalism and Class Politics in Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke (1997) and Fox’s Fern Gully (1992), the argument is made that the film Princess Mononoke, takes an anti-ethical approach to environmentalism. I do not believe that the approach to environmentalism is anti-ethical. I believe that it is the typical ethical response to those who wish to destroy the environment. Smith and Parsons also have very weak evidence to support this argument of Princess Mononoke being anti-ethical.

Greenpeace is an organization which often collides with governments in countries all over the world in its attempt to stop things like global warming, deforestation, overfishing and more. Greenpeace tries to reach their goals by direct action and lobbying. This is the part where they often collide with the governments.
