The Earth Charter

I enjoyed the Earth Charter, I just wished that people would somewhat follow it. After our class discussion on this reading, a lot of us pointed out that it is a good start but the only thing is that Americans are lazy and it would be extremely hard for someone to break out of their daily routine. We can expect other countries to follow it but we will probably be the last ones to try to follow it. I related this reading to my State of the World article, Women and Climate Change: Vulnerabilities and Adaptive Capacities with the example number 11. Example, Affirm gender equality and equity as prerequisites to sustainable development and ensure universal access to education, health care and economic opportunity related to my article by educating women in third world countries they were able to prevent fatalities when hurricane Mitch hit Central America. In Rwanda women produce more than 600 varieties of beans. So if we can educated everyone then there will be more production of things and more indigenous people can come and be a voice of why it's important to save the planet and why we should not deforest our Earth. We can apply this reading to our daily lives slowly, by recycling, and planting trees etc.
