The first person point of view did not surprise me because it makes sense why they would do this, and it's not the first time I've seen a video like this with the same concepts. I actually had no idea that treating rivers like people under the law is a strategy to protect them, this seems crazy to me but it makes sense because of how important some rivers are. Some of the ethical implications behind ascribing "personhood" to rivers include treating it with much care and empathy, and also not damaging it or hurting it. ]]> 2020-11-18 02:41:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ajgraham5/hxn7by2ga6vy8uzx/wish/934804582 ajgraham5 https://padlet.com/ajgraham5/hxn7by2ga6vy8uzx/wish/934837783 I take for granted as "natural" the amount of trees and grass that surrounds me and also the infrastructure and buildings. Almost all of this is unnatural and I never think about it this way. I know that my drinking water comes from water basins and the Colorado river and I learned this sometime in middle school in a science class. I would call it both an engineering success and an engineering failure because the system is very efficient at bringing water to millions of people everyday, however it wreaks havoc on the ecosystem in general. Some of the ramifications of not knowing where your drinking water comes from include being oblivious to the damage that the "plumbing" system causes and also not caring about what happens to the environment. ]]> 2020-11-18 03:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ajgraham5/hxn7by2ga6vy8uzx/wish/934837783 ajgraham5 https://padlet.com/ajgraham5/hxn7by2ga6vy8uzx/wish/942836157 I'm sure the condition of the river's delta would be different because if it's on American grounds then it is seen as more important. Environmental injustice occurs when it is in Mexico and not the United States, the burdens that we cause on the environment being placed on a minority group is environmental injustice. Also it's important to note that in the Southern California region, there is probably a larger population so that might add importance to bringing more water to the delta. ]]> 2020-11-19 18:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ajgraham5/hxn7by2ga6vy8uzx/wish/942836157
