ESS 210 Assignment #8

This week, the class discussed what an ideal world would look like. To me, an ideal world is different than a utopia, where everyone is the same and not allowed to breach the long-lived and well-kept utopian system. An ideal world, as I discussed with Sarah in class, would include a global consensus on climate change. This means that no one would be in opposition to it, so everyone would be on board with fixing the problem as a whole. Large corporations wouldn’t be as plentiful as they are, and they’d be regulated, so carbon emissions would be much lower and would have never reached the peak. Everyone would be protected with affordable healthcare, housing, food and clothing, as well as carbon-efficient transportation means. Ideally, cars could run on something as simple as apple juice! — Apples are sustainably grown and wouldn’t leave the air polluted. Violence would be much lower, as everyone would feel content with where they live and everyone is included.
