I have been following the Canadian environmental debates about international, national and provincial Ontario energy practices. I have written activist emails to address specific energy issues. From these reading and writing actions, it seems that the majority of contemporary thinking agrees on basic understandings about the climate, such that ecosystems exist as global systems, that global warming occurs due to the use of non-renewable energy assets such as coal, wood, etc., and that there are new political measures in place to address newer green energy theories and practices. The political understandings are focused on combatting global warming through increased investment in green energy technology and addressing Aboriginal land understandings and claim issues, among others.
From these, is seems logical to me that the focus in the future should be on investment on renewable energy practices, rather than investment on harmfully invasive, non-renewable extraction practices. In other words, leave it in the ground!
I believe that a moratorium should be imposed to stop the practices that are known to cause harm, such as commercial, mass bottled water projects or use of oil for transportation needs. Instead, political solutions should be for investments in green technology and new mass transit systems, as well as increased support for citizen engagement practices that are focused on renewable energy.
