1. What are the effects on people’s lives of
environmental deterioration, current models of
development, and the throwaway culture? (22)
“Throwaway culture” pertains more so to western civilization where our
habits generate a lot of waste because of the convenience that the
culture has become dependent upon (lifestyle) which only perpetuates
the production of this waste.
The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense
pile of filth. This poses health hazards for not only our species but
organisms across the board. The effects also go as far as loss of
biodiversity because of the culture of consumerism and exploitation.
These conclusively lead to the decline in a quality of life.
There is no doubt that the current models of development have a
detrimental byproduct including disproportionate and unruly growth of
many cities, which have become unhealthy to live in, not only because of
pollution caused by toxic emissions but also as a result of urban chaos,
poor transportation, and visual pollution and noise. Many cities are huge,
inefficient structures, excessively wasteful of energy and water.
Neighborhoods, even those recently built, are congested, chaotic and
lacking in sufficient greenspace. We were not meant to be inundated by
cement, asphalt, glass and metal, and deprived of physical contact with
nature.
A circular model of production has yet to be adopted but is capable
of preserving our environment immensely.
2. The pope says that “access to safe drinkable water is a basic
and universal human right,” yet many poor people do not
have access to it. Why is this? What can be done? (27-31)
-In large sectors of the population, water poverty is a imminent struggle as
certain underdeveloped communities do not have a constant access to
safe drinking water or experience droughts which impede agricultural
production. The water quality of the poor poses serious threat as it is
proven to be unsafe/unsanitary and has resulted in many deaths and
water-related diseases (dysentery and cholera) or contamination of
detergents and chemical waste.
-This problem can be addressed partly by increasing in funding to provide
clean water and sanitary services among the poor. Another bit change that
