1, I learned that we should preserve our wild life. The wild life are also alive and breathing, which means they also feel pain and emotions. Therefore we should try to do our best to improve their life quality by stop damaging the environment.

2. I learned that  world population is increasing in a cumulative sequence.  We should all try to reduce the world population growth size. the LEDCs should reduce birthrate because they are the main contribution of world population. The reasons why they have many children are because of the labor force they require and the low survival rate of the children  born. In  MEDC's, people  tend to reduce their children in order to improve their life quality and also  to  reduce their worries on their children.

For solid waste disposal, I would like to see improvements in landfill management, in order to prevent excessive soil contaminations. Although it may seem like a fast short-term solution that benefit us immediately, but I believe we can create a much effect recycling system that would prevent from harming the soils and environments. For instance, separate the waste into different levels of toxicity, and find another solutions to clean them. (Separate waste into multiple layers and then find the solution that is best suite for them.)

1. The growth of global population is due to the growing production of food, but it is also likely to decrease due to the food consumption is becoming higher and the food is slowly getting less and harder to provide to everyone.
2. People who live in better conditions are often unconscious of the global situation where people somewhere else may be starving, and yet those who are suffering do not have the resources to seek help.
3. As the world population increase, there is also a rising awareness regarding to moral issues.

American University applies strategies to combat zero waste in their environment. By applying zero waste to the environment, they utilize renewable materials, enhance the campus environment, and protect the health of the University community. Since Kuei Shan is an outdoor environment, I believe that zero waste such as reducing food waste would be put to good use here with so many trees and plants surrounding as well as for the cleanliness of the environment for young students in the school.

In this article we can see that China's fertility rate is declining due to its present policies such as the 'one child policy'. China will be reducing its populations quite soon and will have many older aged people and many more men to the ratio of women. Although, this may be seen as a good way to slow down and focus on improving other better things within the country and can also work on ways to resolve this issue before it becomes more precarious in the future.

This article shows both sides of the investment to IPO and how important the Aramco company is as it plays a role in demand of the supply for the majority of the world. While the environmental groups sees this as a danger to the climate and environment without any proof and the assumption of Aramco's intentions, Aramco's intentions were to save money to invest in reducing emissions. Despite the big amount that creates this controversies, there may be other ways to solve this problem. So no one can claim anything without any proof, and before a decision is made.

It is really hard to achieve zero waste in out daily life,

# data[].attributes.body
Zero-waste is very idealistic for the environment, however, in reality, it will be hard to achieve. There are many life-necessary products that people need to buy, but cannot avoid the packaging that would eventually become the waste. Most people do not have the ability to produce their own needs, forcing them to have to purchase in stores that would bring waste, which is almost impossible to avoid.

The way American University makes their zero-waste process transparent helps in raising awareness of a waste-free future. As citizens and students realize where their trash goes, perhaps they will become more conscious of their trash and garbage.

Solid waste disposal could be made waste-free by starting with the materials used when producing the items. Technology is available in making them bio-decomposable; more companies should be aware of the waste they are creating and change the materials they are made of.

The animation demonstrates the flaws of modern landfills, to further raise awareness for the importance of recycling. This video highlights certain overlooked aspect when we throw trash, not realizing the toxic waste we are contributing to our local environment.

Sanitary landfills operate by layering waste in a large hole. The deepest spots can be up to 500 feet into the ground, like Puente Hills, where a third of Los Angeles County's garbage is sent. As materials decompose, landfill gas experts continuously monitor groundwater to detect any leakage. However, these landfills will eventually end up being filled, which will lead to more and more landfills, which would not be the best solution in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
I think landfills have their own advantages of breaking down waste and decomposition, being very convenient to use, producing energy, keeping the environment clean, and are safer to use. But if you consider yet how toxic waste is still building up, having excess of methane, and being in an open environment, spreads the dust and other non-friendly chemicals which are harmful to our living environment.

The landfill temporarily gets rid of human waste, but is not a long-term solution. We should find a method which provides a permanent way of getting rid of the waste in an ecologically friendly way. Plastic-eating fungi is a solution, but this still needs major improvement to be implemented on a large-scale

China's collapse in fertility rate, is beginning to impact there economy,  largely caused by their "one child policy" which ended a few years ago, yet the influence still continues to effects their society, as the traditional family structure had dissipated.

To a large extent not. From the short term view, it might seem like it had solved human problems, but  in long term effect, it would damage people's water sources as well as toxic spread through the wind.  People are left with not much options, so landfill is the most suitable way now. It is important for us to understand the situation and solve it.

# data[].attributes.body
As a short-term solution for waste control, yes, but as a long-term solution, no. As the video suggested, we are able to burry large amount of wastes into a space, which wouldn't affect the surface level. However, as the time passes, it would begin to smell and develop liquid that will affect the environment as well as the living creature located nearby.
In conclusion, I believe there are other solutions that's more eco-friendly and doesn't have

This video tells us how electric buses are the next step to making the environment cleaner and safer. Cali city in Colombia is one of the first to apply these buses to everyday use, and they appreciate the Chinese for making these electric buses for them. It would also be better if much polluted countries such as China can use this product for themselves too since these buses are probably sold cheaply now compared to the price of technology 8 years back.

1) Padlet Critique-Electric Buses

As China's air pollution rages, the China government had put effort in the use of electric vehicles. This can be tied into our class content of shift of energy.  Since gasoline produce harmful gases that contribute to global warming, the government had  chosen a different form of energy, which is more Eco-friendly. This is the  anthropocentric perspective, where the resources had been chosen to be Eco-friendly but  at the same time using the technology approach. This successfully decreases the emissions of greenhouse gas that harm the environment. With the high price of the electric buses, it is not too logical that the poor countries will buy it. With the cheap labor in China It is more possible other small and poor nations to take part in protection of the earth.

# data[].attributes.body
In Colombian, a new mitigation  happens. Electric buses replace the old buses which cause tons of pollution. The replacement of electric decrease the wastage; also, it brings a more quiet environment to local. In my opinion, this is a leading model of mitigation. The government needs to has a well plan since it cost lots of money. However, the success of this mitigation is a big step to decrease the world pollution.

Electric buses are to help Colombian city cleaner. It replaces the old buses which cause tons of pollution, and it brings a more quiet environment to local. Eduardo Bellini mentions that this kind of technology used to be expensive.

Electric buses is to help Colombian city cleaner, this transportation system decreases the air pollution; since that uses a lot of gas . However this kind of technology used to be very expensive. So this is a convenient invention for people that needs to move around.

The electric buses provided by the Chinese signify a new era for Cali, as vehicle pollution is reduced in a step forward towards caring for the environment through decreased greenhouse gas emissions.

These Chinese-made electric buses helps the city: Cali in Columbia cleaner and greener. Edurado Bellini - the manager of White and Black Mass Transportation Service said that this kind of technology used to be really expensive so they cannot afford this technology. However now, they can afford it and make their city greener and better.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe electric vehicles and transportation systems are the future, and I think China is doing a great job implementing those electric buses. Since people move around a lot, and usually by vehicles that use gas, electric buses could really help to shift the current trend.

Chinese-made electric buses help make Colombian city cleaner
The traffic in big cities will create a massive amount of fluorinated gases, which will speed up global warming. Replacing public transportation with electronic buses will decrease the emission of greenhouse gases, furthermore decrease the damage human brought to the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
The new use of electric vehicles has brought a new change of chain in the oil-based society. I believe it is beneficial and eco-friendly as compared to the original buses. Although it may not change the environment drastically, at least the trend has started, and people are slowly changing for better.

As I’ve mentioned in the first question, people are slowly but starting to realize that our society cannot be maintained in long-term if we keep adapting oil-based society. The video mentioned the donation of those buses are from China, which I’m glad that they are starting to make differences, despite all the pollutions they have made.

# data[].attributes.body
The introduction of electric buses in the city of Cali, is a technocentric approach towards dealing with their environmental pollution, as the city base their solution on modern energy efficient vehicles. I personally believe this will greatly benefit the city in terms of lowering carbon emission.
