Are you an Enviromentalist?

Wk 4 Blog Post:
This piece of reading reminds me "Are you an enviromentalist "discussion which we talked in our last class.

I bring my lunch box and water bottle, take public transportation, and recycle papers and cups, yet I still do not feel like an environmentalist because this is just part of my life style. These behavior thought to be in the natural order for me. All individual behavior would depend on its own nature sense as well as its cultural and social past environmental experiences.

Moreover, the problem is the scale of enviromental issues; it's enoumously huge and complicated so it's really hard to recognize by people. Our behaviors are always involved with our environmental issues, but we hardly see how much consequences are. It's really hard to tell just one behavior gives how much damage on our environment. And the problem is people have very different sets of value toward environment, so it is imporatnt to determine the certain level of environmental behavior to awake people. Individual choice always matters on our environmental issues, but it's still hard to see damages through individual behavior. The assumption setting that effort in large units such as country or local goverment is also important, but first of all, efforts to improve the level of consciousness will be the first step to to grow environmental awareness of individuals.
