Coorporation or Competition

In general, I agree on more green things related technological innovation, movements/attitude, and policies would give us plus effects. Since 1950s Industrial Revolution, people very much moved toward industrialization, modernization, and after 1980- 90s we could connect with others more closely due to development of the network such as an internat connection which resulted in accelerating the globalized world. I think those factors made our environment situation worse; meanwhile, because we had such huge innovations and technologies, now we can turn into those factors for making our environmental situation better. I believe this idea is much toward to Market Liberals, and realize that there are possibilities of negative externalities such as market failure. However, I would like to see from positive way, and believe people are clever.

Fist, I would like to mention that solving climate chage can make new markets and new investments such as green jobs. The second article "D.C. Invests in Green Collar Jobs" written by Bracken Hendricks says that solving climate changes can find jobs and opportunity in the emerging green economy, and this makes sense to me because now many universitis have Environmental studies, there is Environmental related movies like "An Inconvinient Truth", and I actually see people who are working as public cleanup man at my neighbors often compared to last year. Therefore, I understand why Hendricks says "Green means jobs", and results vitalization of economy.

However, in terms of race between the U.S. and other countries, I have a different way of perspectives/views. I think each country need to focus on it's environmental issues because each country have different types of environmental concerns and hurdles. For instance, many people knows China's air pollution is really bad compared to others, also desertification is serious issue in China, so China is better to challenge developing some technologies related their concerns to make better situation. Here, the U.S. would also contribute the issue of cosumernism (this issue is toward cultural aspects though..) or making policies on recycling and develop some technologies related to this. Of course, the global matters such as global warming and ozon depletion and many other issues we should work on togeather, but it could each country have specific technological innovations on own special area and later trade each other to make both profits. This would be a future green system for people ias a member of an international community. Creating Coorporation relationships rather than compete each other to live in society would be the best way to avoid fighting over the resources and make sustainable society in the near future I believe.
