State Of The World

I have to say that my section was one of the most important. It was called Water in a Sustainable Economy. Water is an environmental resource that underpins economic activity. I guess the issue that makes an impact on me most for water, is the sustainable rates at which water can be used, and the actual ever increasing usage patterns that humans have. This is scary because you really can not tell people they can not have water.....yet the way we use it now and in the future, may force us to tell people there is no more water. The other section which hit home for me was Meat and Seafood. This is because I love both of these protein sources. The chpater shows how much stress the world's dieting puts on these markets. There is extemely high demand for protein rich meats and fishes. I realize how I contribute to this, but at the same time do not have a solid solution for the demand problem, which is conflicting for me. And last but not least the chapter dubbed The Challenge of sustainable lifestyles. I think this chapter touches on all the others in the fact that living sustainable, or with only what you need, is a very challenging quest. Aamerican lifestyle has shown us otherwise.
