Document Summary
3 ways to infer to the environment: capitalism - future commodities (universal exchange value - money) Selling for a surplus: enlightenment - humans are rational beings, nature is not rational. Nature is (cid:873)chaotic(cid:874) and we try to control it. Reason and science to understand how nature works. Constrained - economy is based on the environment, we are not in constraint anymore: results - how the environment works and how we can change it (not always negative) Humble - saw nature as a global force. Helping the environment - change the ways of living. E. g. colonize space - drill for fossil fuels (cid:840)doesn"t do well for the environment) People deny that climate change is happening. Legal language - (cid:873)going against our rights(cid:874) Some cities can make this change and some can"t - confusing to try and change cities that actually can"t. Contained places - not part of the global market, it"s own market.
