Feasible ways in which humansFeasible Ways in Which Humans Can Combine Mass Capitalism and Environmental Improvements Subtitle: Expanding Capitalism into a Larger Global Mass-Capitalistic System, While Improving Our Global Environment and our Human Population�s Standard of Living There has been an ever growing met beginning n 0�s and 50�s, whose premise is to either control growth or halt it all together. This movement has rallied around a green flag preaching the philosophy of saving mother earth from the current exploitation�s that are taking place under the Western economic system. Many of these members of the Green Party view the current Industrial or Capitalistic Systems as the main enemy of the environment because of the way that a Capitalistic System considers natural resources that are scarce or irreplaceable a very valuable commodity. It is true that now that we have had time to evaluate the costs and benefits of an Industrialized society, we have recognized that there have been some costs or �externalities� that have developed out of our extremely prosperous time period. Some of these costs are urban sprawl, global warming, pollution, and the increase of greenhouse gases just to name a few. The Greens solution to deal with these �externalities� is to declare capitalism the enemy and wage a war in order to either sustain or end growth altogether while moving back to a more Welfare-like state. Greens view the capitalistic model as one that tries to dominate and exploit nature for one�s personal wealth and gain, and they fear that at our current rates of consumption and waste that we will quickly destroy the earth�s natural environment. They have developed many clever techniques such as lobbying, generating large amounts of wealth, creating new social structures, forming political parties, and even making acts of terrorism in order to slow the capitalistic machine from growing ever larger. I do agree with many of the Greens and others that have worries about our earth and its� natural environment, and that something must be done quickly and substantially to correct the crisis that is looming. It is because of the West�s recent success that we have been experiencing these problems and I feel that the same knowledge and labor that was used to create these economic successes can be used to find feasible solutions to our current global ecological problems. I disagree with the Greens policies or ideologies about how we as a planet must go about correcting these ecological problems though. The idea of halting growth altogether or creating a policy of sustainable growth on a worldwide scale is not a feasible solution in the evolving global capitalistic market. Slowing or stagnating the growth of the world is not feasible because countries that have not reached the economic well being that the Western Hemisphere has attained will reject this idea with full force. Even if stagnating growth were an acceptable idea in the global community, it would create such a global depression in the West that the political leaders would...
