Conservation
I. Conservation of Natural ResourcesA. Reduce the loss of topsoil by rotating crops, not
leaving fields barren, using contour farming, etc.

ConservationB. Reduce deforestation, or implement
reforestation programs.
The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley Reforestation Initiative aims to reforest at least one million acres throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Illinois. Consider North America’s rainforest, this region is a vital habitat for migratory birds and numerous plant and animal species.

Reduction in Pollution
II. Reduce PollutionA. Pass laws limiting the amounts of pollution that
are allowed to be released or dumped.B. Develop recycling programs, so products can be
reused.

AlternativesIII. Find alternatives to burning fossil fuels.
A. Nuclear power – capturing the energy released when radioactive atoms break apart.
Pros: Does not produce smoke, produces more electricity than other renewable recourse such as solar and wind.
Cons: It requires uranium and produces radioactive waste.

AlternativesB. Solar power – capturing the energy from the
sun.

AlternativesC. Wind power – capturing the energy from
circulations in the atmosphere.

ProblemsV. The three problems standing in the way of
environmental ethnics (what is fundamentally right or wrong regardless of cultural differences) are:
A. Public ignorance of problems and complexities of dealing with them.
