Today I am writing on the three questions given to me through my social textbook. The first Question asks me to research and write about an oil spill or disaster in Alberta. The big impact this has had on the environment is the birds like ducks its killing in one day five hundred ducks died because they landed on an oil filled lake. This is one of many natural disasters caused in Alberta by the oil sands and the gathering of oil from them. Alberta’s environment concerns have not been approved to much by the world because we harvest the oil and other natural resources in dirty but quick and cheap way. We are thought to not try and go along with the world and try to make the world cleaner. This may be true, we have not signed certain agreement to make our environment cleaner. The world, especially the USA, look at us as the country that needs to show poorer countries how the harvest natural resources and still keep our environment clean and nice to live in. We as Canadians and Albertans’ are failing to do this. This is why the world looks done on our means to do stuff like harvest oil.
The next question asks me to write questions that I think I would ask when talking about how conserving the environment will effect the environment. I will focus on preserving the environment rather than exploiting it as much as possible. Question #1 Should we cut back on how many natural resources we exploit? Questions #2 How will preserving natural resources in order to improve the environment effect our economy? Question #3 Will it cause our taxes to go up? Question #4 Are people willing to pay extra money to keep the environment cleaner? Question #5 Are people willing to give up traditional ways to make money and live to clean our planet? Question #6 Are there new ways to not use thing natural gas? Question #7 What will this cause in the short term? Question #8 How will this help us in the log term? Question #9 Who will benefit from preserving the earths natural resources? Question #10 How do we live with less resources? Here are my ten Questions. These questions to me get to the point and ask for a solution to be found. There are many things that need to be thought of when it comes to cutting back on natural resources. To me the biggest thing is that we aren’t willing to give up our traditional and easy ways of doing things. If we want to save resources we need to discard some traditional ways of doing things. This is my answer to Question #2.
