Sachs starts out by saying that "humanity shares a common fate on a crowded planet" (3). He says that humanity needs to cooperate in order to get to a more environmentally stabilized state. This made me think how most of the population in our world don't really cooperate or do anything to help stabilize our world. Is it that people don't care or that they don't know? So many people are aware of the dangers of our world, and yet they don't recycle but continue to trash the world. They are so busy with their own lives--their jobs, their families, their studies--to even give a second thought about the environment that they live in. People think, "Oh, it's okay. At least there's no acid rain." There are so blindly involved in their lives they fail to see the little signs of environmental degradation. They don't care. However, there are probably just as much people who don't know the exactly what's happening to our environment. Actually, I think most people, even those that know what is going on don't know the extremity of our environment's condition. I think that people need to get more involved because after all, this is the world we live in. We need to take care of it.
