Beyond the Science: Environmental Problems…Cultural Solutions | Paul K. Doss | TEDxEvansville

[BerlinTerrero-ovcm]

I completely agree that culture and human behavior are at the core of today's environmental issues. As Paul said, "We won't be able to solve these issues until we confront the biggest threat ourselves." This shows the need for self-reflection and change in our habits to protect the environment.

[TheCostaricadaniel]

The most developed countries have the main responsibility because they have enjoyed the natural resources more than others, and have the education and economic resources to make the change we all need. Save the planet is our responsibility but some have more options than others.

[dhiyaneshsivakumaran]

Even the least views and comments on a need of the hour talk like this shows the need for a cultural change. But thanks Sir for your humanely words ♥️😇🙏🏾 People who watch this please share it.

[bellamarvel]

I find interesting that scientists already have the answer but it requires a cultural change for it to be viable.

[Lui_okay]

change with purpose requires a shift in cultural values and behaviors toward the environment. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the human relationship with nature.

[Possu]

Its is important to know the relevance we have in the envirnment and be responsable of what we made to it

[nehavashishtha]

True - “Science can not fix human behaviour.”

[peacewillow]

it's worth noting that this current culture of overconsumption and earth damaging waste wasn't possible before the industrial revolution and the rise of "capitalism", but the culture of greed and selfishness, which began with the agricultural revolution, laid the mental groundwork for it.
conquering earth for profit became more important than living in harmony with nature.
it's very sad to see how much humanity has truly regressed
especially when you listen to them talk about how technologically advanced they are...

[manuelcorreaavila]

I think is interesting and we requires a cultural change to have betters habbits

[tonatiuhmelendezhernandez]

I think that as a race we are totally responsible and we need to take care as a whole

[emmaw]

Excellent comparison with the prediction of the solar eclipse.

We have a spiritual crisis. It's necessary that real values be upheld. [] "...sacred values of stewardship, selflessness, moderation, and trustworthiness — vital in promoting healthy relationships with the natural world” [] ~ Baha'i International Community, Baha'i Faith

Ok so I'll stop buying plastic bottles then what? How do i change society as an individual? Any ideas?

[michaelwilleford]

While I am skeptical about ozone depletion, I can certainly see how plastics are a serious environmental issue. The only question I have is how are plastics going to be safely disposed of. There are various proposals, do the research.

[f.natasha]

The metaphor that water is the societal lifeblood is interesting and ironic as water(or any environment categories) is not treated as such.

Over consuming and irresponsible disposing waste into the water stemmed from giving too much importance to productivity without caring any consequences on the environment.

Consumers living the imperial mode of living adds on the already severe environmental condition from big companies. Consumers take for granted on their everyday purchases without knowing how it was transported, who manufactured it or any whatsoever details of the product aside from the cheap price.

[develyn]

Why dont they have water tanks in homes and deliver water to the tanks? It would put end to plastic bottles. Or if we had glass grinders a d could pulverize glass water bottles to powder to be recycled thats another idea. Have call in IDEAS ONLY talk radio station.

[bjgurley]

What nobody actually realizes, is that after the ice age, that our carbon emissions are currently in the process of bringing about, there will still be massive amounts of monoxide, (and other greenhouse gasses) still in the air, and if were lucky, well end up with a waterworld, if were NOT, lucky, all those greenhouse gasses will evaporate all the water and well (or our future generations) will, be on a desert world, in either event, there will be a period of unlivable (and untenable) barometric pressure, meaning that the atmosphere will be too humid, for our species to exist here, I really hope Elon musk (and any other in the interest of humakind) has this in mind with his neuralink project...
