Discuss how the natural environment has the potential to damage well-being.
What will be an ideal response?
At the global level, wealthy nations are exploiting the natural resources of poor nations, depleting those resources and exacerbating the poverty in those nations. The degradation of the world ecosystems is growing significantly worse, and the burdens of that degradation go increasingly to the most marginalized populations, poor people, people of color, older people, women, and children. The people carrying the greatest burden of environmental degradation seldom have a seat at the table where environmental policies are developed. This pattern of environmental injustice occurs in wealthy nations as well as poor nations. In the United States, there is considerable evidence that the toxic load of pollution from pesticides, fertilizers, and factories is generally heaviest in poor communities of color, and considerable research establishes that such pollution is a risk factor for cancer and respiratory diseases. There is also clear evidence that hazardous waste facilities are more likely to be located in poor and minority communities
