The book written
by McKibben portrays a world called E-A-A-R-T-H, a new and changed planet from
what the population was born into. This
earth contains the same daily activities and necessities for life, just in new ways
that have been developed due to the expansion of humans. The population has
taken all of the resources of the planet and pushed the Earth to known limits.
The planet will soon run out of space and capacity for life. McKibben states
that the United States is used to a sense of large and expansive progress, but
because of the deteriorating world, the population must cut back on usage and
emissions. Many factors are affected by this change including space to live,
the economy, and the food system.
The world is also
expanding in ways other than the environment. In the modern age, the Internet
allows people to be connected across the world. This view allows the population
to not dwell on local life, but to see the world as a whole. The Internet also
allows people to work and make a change in places all around the world.
The bioregional
quiz showed students that many people do not know the environment around them
as well as hoped. The environment is always changing and cannot be helped with
people do not know what is effected and affecting the world. By taking this quiz,
students realized how little is known about topics such as drinking water,
plants, summer storms, and stars. These topics are slowly changing on Earth but
are necessary to know if the population is trying to help prevent further
damage.
