@EcoSoc3315 The EU green deal and carbon neutrality commitments from China, Japan, and South Korea point to the inevitability of our collective transition off fossil fuels.

@EcoSoc3315 @SungHanKang1 I have the same question, what is your personal take on this new coca-cola bottle?

[Alex Xu @AlexXu00350197]

@EcoSoc3315 I think sometimes the consumer discretionary behavior prohibits some of the green/reusable initiatives because people are so used to take what is the most convenient.

The competitive pricing may make it possible for people to buy more at Amazon versus the pricing if it was in a brick-and-mortar store, but there is no definitive answer whether e-tailing is more or less green than brick-and-mortar options

In response to Amazon, UPS disclosed in 2017 that the boom in online shopping has decreased the number of packages dropped off per mile, leading to more trucks on the road, and therefore higher greenhouse gas emissions.

@FolzKayla @EcoSoc3315 I think we can still do a valuation on those land that was stolen.

@EcoSoc3315 I think it is always important to track capitals when thinking about National Park and NGO funding.

[Alex Xu @AlexXu00350197]

@danny_w_sustain @EcoSoc3315 I do agree with this part but sometimes capitalism and important shareholders will always find a way to acquire new access to capital. I think ENGOs should really add pressure to those corporates.

@EcoSoc3315 A pandemic is not a proper environmental tool for activism since the entire focal point should be more about finding a cure to the virus. We should look at the virus holistically so we can cure the virus and save the environment without sacrificing human lives.

[Alex Xu @AlexXu00350197]

@FolzKayla @EcoSoc3315 I definitely think that the Green Stimulus plan can be feasible if and only if we have a more collective effort in terms of fund raising.

@EcoSoc3315 I am so looking forward to thinking of the changes societal attitudes on nature and their socio-ecological impacts
