How do we determine which zones should be sacrificed?

I think there are certain places that should be sacrificed and some places protected in order to find a balance. The decision should lay in the hand of the locals.

I completely agree, there is a need to balance areas that should be protected and areas that can be sacrificed. By doing this it allows us to expand consumption, but also preserve areas that carry public value.

On the one hand I believe that progress makes our lifes better in many ways and some sacrifices are needed in order to achieve it. However, I find it extremely challenging to draw the line on how much are we supposed to give in the name of progress.

There should be no such thing as sacrifice zones. How fair is it to take away the land of an indigenous tribe in order to build an oil rig. Isn’t that what caused communism to rise in Latin America back in the 60s? The way to go is to understand our common and mutual relations as humans and to redefine the modern-day misconceived concept of “love”.

They are American/Canadian citizens, they should follow their countries law exclusively. No parallel nation can be used as excuse to infringe on American/Canadian citizen rights.

Science is deterministic, we can learn and then apply our knowledge to shape the world. There is no force in the universe human ingenuity cannot tame with time and effort.

One interesting thing that I think is how people think that they have the right to pollute more simply because they haven't done so during the industrial revolution. This is a mindset that should not be accepted as the technology grow and we have more options to not pollute while grow the economy.

As long as the government can expropriate land from people who are not willing to sell it, sacrifice zones will exist in one shape or another.
However, blockading is a terrible tool that hurts innocent third parties. Else it is often used for reasons other than to protect against eminent domain, which makes it not self defense.

I do acknowledge their inheritance and rights but the constitution is above all the rules of local communities. As a minority they have developed some systems and tried to preserve their heritage but I think that every citizen should be treated equally and that is only guaranteed under the constitution

We really need to find the connection of human and nature and bring that love out to save the planet.

I think this sacrifice zones are a perfect example of extractivism. They are being developed to disappear.

I think Blockadia is actually a good tool for people to voice out their thoughts. However, good planning is needed, as the book mentioned that the young group of people are treated as "troublemakers" and were unable to be heard.

But not every country can afford to grow without polluting, mainly developing countries. These technologies are expensive and developing countries have vast amount of infrastructure that uses fossil fuels and traditional ways of energy. for the poorest countries the choice is to invest on these green technologies or try to develop and improve the conditions of their citizens, guess what they will choose

In order to convince individuals to change their habits it is necessary to believe in what you say. Nature has given us all the resources we need. We need to take care of it. Governmental policies trying to boost the economies in emerging markets need to use the resources. Is it possible to do it in a sustainable way?

# data[].attributes.body
The price for these technologies are going down, perhaps years ago it wasn't possible, but due to economies of scale, we are able to achieve it.
