            Muir thought that using the environment to create products or goods would be disastrous because of the fact that it would not allow individuals to enjoy nature and have a place where they could have peace. 

In Muir’s speech “The National Parks and Forest Reservations” he states “When I first saw Yosemite, and read the notices posted by the State Commissioners, forbidding the cutting or marring the beauty in any way of the trees and shrubs, etc., I said, ‘How fine it is that this grand valley has been made a park, for the enjoyment of all the world!’”.

Here Muir discusses his joy when he discovers that this landscape has been reserved so that others would be able to enjoy its beauty.

         The reason this has changed is because with the coming years each nation is becoming more interdependent on each other and is affected by other countries’ actions, so on issues such Ecology each state has to do its part to fix this global issue.

In William Langeweische’s article he talks about an international organization that has made many attempts to eliminate pollution especially due to Shipbreaking, here he says “For many years it had been involved in a fight to stop the export of toxic wastes from rich countries to poor- a struggle that prohibition, now in effect, to which the European Union nations had agreed.”.

When speaking of Shipbreaking, it is viewed as a global issue because of the fact that many nations are often involved in this act; numerous ships from other countries are sold to beaches such a Alang so that others can dispose of them. Shibreaking has been a major international business and therefore has to be dealt with internationally, as any issue of ecology.
