Global Environmental Politics--examines the relationship between global political forces and environmental change, with particular attention given to the implications of local-global interactions for environmental management as well as the implications of environmental change for world politics.
Nitrogen cycle—transformation of nitrogen in nature. Nitrogen in atmosphere is used in soil with bacteria and then used by plants and animals. (not a great definition, but a simple understanding. I'm not a science person so this is my basic understanding of it)
Pollution--the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem.
Cornucopian—amount of creativity in ppl will save the world so humans will always find a solution. People are the best resource. (This is the same as Promethean, I believe.)
Precautionary principle—even if we don’t know all the science but there’s a danger we should be cautious, and create binding legislation. Better to be safe than sorry. Used for the CFC legislation deals.
I don't have a ton of ideas for the sustainable development either, I'm planning on looking over some of the reading. I would be good for a study group tomorrow night. I'm free after 8pm.
