I do not know much about economics; however, much of what this speaker stated made a lot of sense to me. A point the speaker made, that caught my attention was how he thought the government should get evolved in environmental protection. He stated, “If people pollute, we should have to pay and be accountable.” I think that he brought up a valid point that should be put into action. Although, how do you make someone be accountable for chemicals that they may buy at the super market, such as a plastic water bottle? Will the government make that product more expensive then the eco-friendly products?
I feel that many people try to be eco- friendly to help the environment and themselves; however, there are others who don’t care what happens to the planet in the future. How do you get them to be accountable? I suppose if the public is able to have property rights; something will be figured out.
this speech help me understand some of the concepts in economics, i m taking class in economy now i hated but with this speech it help me undestand some of the concepts. in my opinion poeple how to be carefull with their envornment and be eco-friendly, the speaker did ask some intresting points that we have to be carefull how we use and manage some stuffs.
