7.3 L8 Even though there is growing global support for ecocentric values, the global consumption of fossil fuels continues to rise each year. With reference to energy choices in named countries, discuss possible reasons for this situation occurring. by Claire Thompson https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2 Made with a curious mind en-us 2021-08-05 19:02:47 UTC 2025-11-28 01:55:33 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2/wish/1977917893 What are 'ecocentric values'? 
In an environmental ethics context eccentric values state the the earth and ecosystems have intistic value meaning they should be protected and valued even if they can't be used by humans as resources. ]]> 2022-01-06 04:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2/wish/1977917893 ecocentrism https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2/wish/1977927828 although the global social media ,educations on sustainability and climate change disasters have promote ecocentrism and more environmental friendly energy choices , the countries' energy security such as USA , china and russia is still highly dependent on fossile fules and non-renewable energies . ]]> 2022-01-06 04:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2/wish/1977927828 https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2/wish/1977933554 USA , still uses oil , coal and natural gases because of political , availability and economic  
Russia uses coal because it has economic advantages ,also china's industry is highly dependent on fossil fuels ]]> 2022-01-06 04:50:16 UTC https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2/wish/1977933554 https://padlet.com/c_thompson_wis/47vivqidbmf4i7m2/wish/1977936099 BUT USA have been trying to diversify its energy choices by using hydropower energy , wind energy and solar energy 
ice land energy choice is highly ecocentric because of high availability and cultural values geothermal
