biology week 11 assignment


How would you prioritize the reintroduction of the American Bison?

From the articles that we read I believe that the ones best suited to lead the reintroduction of the American Bison are the indigenous people that co-inhabit the land. The United States encouraged a policy of genocide against the indigenous peoples by means of momentarily and militarily encouraging the decimation of the bison. The only role that the state ought to play in the reintroduction of the American Bison is to finance the entire endeavor in an act of paying reparations to the native peoples and taking accountability for its genocidal actions.

 “World breaks temperature record for June after hottest May”  Are we doing enough to reduce global warming?

Short Answer. NO.

Until we have completely stopped fossil fuel extraction and consumption we have not done enough. Until industrial food production is completely replaced by the local sustainable growing of food we have not done enough. So long as we actively or passively support centralizing power structures, such as the state or economic systems which value accumulation and consumption we will not have the capacity to do enough.
