Reference to reading:
The reading was about our consumeristic lifestyles and making the connection between human rights and the human environment. I think it is important to tackle the consumer end of this topic as it is something I strongly believe we can reduce and by doing so we can reduce the impact on human rights through out the world. It is at the end of the end out intense greed that is creating this disgusting situation through out the world and if we can solve that problem we can help fix some of the problems in our world.
