Environmental Justice Reading Comparative Analysis
In the two articles, there is a huge similarity in the sense that the two are addressing environmental justice from the waste and wasteful perspective. Bill McKibben on Waste not, want not claims that in the world today, there are over 80million plastic bottles disposed in the wrong way and this makes the environment to get completely polluted (McKibben, 2009). The more reason is that when the waste is accumulated together, it creates a hip of garbage and some even ends up in different water bodies causing water and soil pollution. This is a direct way that human beings take part in experimental injustice and the author using personal experience claims that practicing recycling would go a long way in reducing the amount of garbage. Similar sentiments are echoed by Derrick Jensen where he claims that human beings are entirely responsible for the environmental challenge they are facing for instance global warming (Jensen, n.d). He calls for individual positive change in the way people perceive and handle environmental issues as a way of conserving the environment.
