Please see attachments on how to help with this assignment.
Compose a 300-word (minimum) essay on the topic below. Essays must be double-spaced and use APA-style in-text citations to reference ideas or quotes that are not your own. You must include a separate bibliography.
Relate each of the three scientific principles of sustainability to the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest controlled experiment (“Core Case Study” at the beginning of Chapter 2). TOPIC How do Scientist learn about nature? Experimenting with a forest
Explain how each one of the results of the Experimental Forest experiments illustrates how human activities can have unintended harmful environmental consequences.
Give other examples of unintended consequences and harmful effects of human activities and explain.
You should cite and quote from assigned readings, AVP’s, videos, and module activities to support the ideas in your essay.

ENV330 – Introductory video
This may be the most important course that you ever take! The natural systems of the Earth of which we are a part and on which we are dependent for every instant of our lives are under attack by human civilization, and are beginning to unravel. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the soil which grows the food we eat, the oceans, the rivers and lakes, the creatures of the air and land and water, and future generations are all endangered – along with us, since we are an interdependent part of the ecosystems of Earth.
In this course you will learn how to live sustainably on Earth, your home.
Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary course which includes science, philosophy, economics, politics, psychology, theology, art, literature – just about everything!
Environmental problems usually have well understood scientific causes and solutions – but they are often not implemented due to political, economic, psychological or religious reasons. Therefore, in order to solve environmental problems – and better yet, to avoid them in the first place, we must consider the broader and interconnected sociological, political, ethical and economic context.
We will consider all these factors and more in this course.
Individuals and entire cultures have particular “World Views” regarding their relationship and responsibility with and towards nature. There are many different environmental world views, ranging from the more self-centered all the way to Earth-Centered. Each of these world views have practical consequences effecting Earth’s natural systems. How we perceive Nature and our relationship to the planet and the rest of creation helps to determine our lifestyles, buying habits, and political attitudes and so has a causal effect on how our environment is treated – our environmental ethics.
We will also work towards understanding the Earth Wisdom Worldview.
We need to shift our current unsustainable thinking to sustainable ways of thinking. For example, we currently emphasize pollution cleanup, waste disposal, species protection, environmental degradation, increased resource use, continued population growth, and depletion and degradation of natural capital.
These unsustainable ways of thinking and interacting with the Earth need to be changed to sustainable alternatives such as: Pollution Prevention instead of cleanup, Waste Prevention instead of disposal (there is no “away”, as in “throw it away”!), Habitat Protection instead of Species Protection (what good is a species if its ecosystem is destroyed?), Environmental Restoration instead of degradation, cease Wasting Resources instead of increasing resource use as if the laws of the universe don’t count for us, Population Stabilization instead of constant growth, Protection of Natural Capital instead of depletion and degradation of Natural Capital. Destroying Natural Capital is like burning certificates of deposit or stocks and bonds to keep warm!
One of the central concepts of the Earth Wisdom perspective is that nature is the basis of wealth. Neo-classical economic theory considers the laws of nature as “externalities” to economics – economies are solely about supply and demand and human ingenuity, ignoring the laws of the universe, including ecological principles.
Ecological Economists consider human economies to be subsets of the ecosphere – totally dependent upon natural capital, the ecosystem services of nature, and controlled by the Laws of Physics and Principles of Ecology. Economies do NOT exist separate from the realities of nature!
We will be learning much Earth Wisdom and many, many ways to create sustainable societies which work with nature instead of against nature during this semester, including how to create sustainable economies.
Welcome again to ENV330, where together, we will learn how to create sustainable societies on Earth.
