Essentialist Tendencies in Environmental Discourse.
Some times there are disagreements of where the problem started.
Ellis says instead of arguing with one another about who is most right, They should be working together for a more comprehensive solution. Ellis seems unbiased and uses good examples to relate his information. He uses arguments of Barry Commoner and Paul Ehrlich to name a few to show their views of the environment discourse. I tend to agree with Ellis's precepts that American's way of life is to solve environmental problems when they arise on a case by case basis, which is based on a capitalist profit motive, a culture of consumption, and economic growth and development. For example 6 percent of the world's population that lives in the United States consumes 30-50 percent of the world's resources.
