In the text “Sustaining our commonwealth of Nature and Knowledge” by Herman Daly, he clarifies the fact that goods are classified by the access of law to the goods, which it is classified as excludable and non-excludable, and by the physically use of the owner of the good, rival and non-rival. Every market good, an automobile, is rival and excludable and every public good, for example, the sun, is non-rival and non-excludable. But the problematic comes when the good is non-rival and excludable, an example he gives us is knowledge because it is usually patented and made by intellectual property. Also, the problematic comes when the good is rival and non-excludable because the management of these goods, such as fish, brings the tragedy of open-source

The world is in a constant state of change, today’s decisions will affect the future of all species large and small, defining the ways in which society will continue to live. The essay “No New Worlds” written by Dr. Adrian Forsyth explores ideas associated with ever changing populations and states of the world. The essay describes the existence of humankind by their impacts on the surrounding environments. The reader is then introduced to the implications our world faces if these problems are not solved and additionally steps to solving these issues. Thus, both men and women need to take action to help or pay the consequences and protect the only world we have, planet Earth.

I hope this proposal will assist the reader in understanding our Earth’s critical condition and ways even an individual can attribute to the betterment of our environment.

“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children 's children. Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.” (Theodore Roosevelt) My environmental ethic is to improve the environment to sustain living on earth. People in the world today don’t really take into effect the way they hurt the environment. People don’t care where they throw their garbage or burn chemicals that are unhealthy, yet it could hinder your health ultimately. The earth is a wonderful and beautiful place. People have to take care of it for the next generation to come, or how will people survive on a planet that has toxic environment. Let me explain: what experiences I have had, Persistent challenges, education, religious beliefs or influences that shaped my world today.

In his book the “Laudato Si” Pope Frances explains the modern relationship people have with the earth. He makes a plea to all that will hear; individuals, families, local communities, nations and the international community.

I believe every human on this earth is aware of the fact that earth does not belong to the man, but man belongs to the earth. Yet there is still fights and wars that humans go through to claim this land as theirs. This book “Earth’s democracy” by Vandana Shiva explains all the human actions done against nature. This book is a great reminder for all those that consider earth as something they own and mistreat it. Shiva talks about the rise of capitalism and corporate globalization produced monopolies causing an extraordinary concentration of wealth and power. Shiva believes we live in a world where commerce and profit take priority over people and nature and those with means control the government. The earth economy is a living economy.

It promotes the responsible use and conservation of natural resources through communal ownership. The three basic concepts define earth democracy, they are: living economies, living democracies and living cultures.

While the Earth has provided u1s with all we need, humanity has taken advantage of these scarce resources for very selfish purposes. It appears that humans seem to only care about “the now” and because of that, our future is in jeopardy. In the films “Home” and “Surviving Progress,” the effects of human activity on our planet is explored and discussed. Further, in the article Can a Collapse of Global Civilization be Avoided, Paul R. Ehrlich and Anne H. Ehrlich examine how overexploitation has been detrimental to Earth’s resources. We as human-beings must take action and protect civilization from collapsing. While our world may be divided by different countries and nations, this planet belongs to all of us and it is our duty to sustain it.

For quite some time, life on earth has been nothing but peaches and cream for several people and because of people who live a non-sustainable life, it has left others with an indistinct outlook on earth’s future. Sustainability to me is doing things that will help prevent harmful things from happening to the environment now and in the future. With the support of the sustainability and more quality ways of living, the Earth Charter is gradually introduced. Through key research I will explain what the Earth Charter is and why it was founded, describe one of its four parts along with the goals and overarching philosophy, and share the impact it has on my life now and in the future.

In the rhetorical situation, representatives from the United Nations, leading scientists and other sources of activists speak amongst one another about natural disasters caused by the human’s wreckage of the planet and other long-lasting effects that could possibly happen if they do not set up standards across the board of the world.

The earth is considered as one of the most beautiful planets in the universe. It is the only planet in our galaxy that has enough water to support life.
