All of the environmental
issues that were presented in Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to a safe environment,
were and are very important. I don’t believe that one is much more important
than the other. I will say however that the issue that stood out to me more was
the Shrinking Harvests and Melting Glaciers. This issue stood out to me more
because I wasn’t aware of just how big of an impact the melting of glaciers
would cause on our world harvests. I didn’t even realize they had an impact at
all.
This issues ties into sustainability because it is only a matter of when
the glaciers will melt, when that time comes will we have found a substitute
for our harvests? Or will the world fall into utter and complete chaos? If we
as a global society don’t act now then that is the direction that the world is
heading for. There are places around the world that have already begun to
restrict certain crops from leaving their country to limit the inflation of
prices on certain goods.
What people don’t seem to understand is that
everything is connected. If you act now and reduce our pollution output that in
turn helps slow down the melting of the glaciers which then allows our rivers
to keep irrigating crops during the dry season. Plan B was created so that awareness could be brought to be people and they could see just how severe the consequences of our actions could be.
