Native American Sustainability and Earth's Energy Balance

The relationship the Native Americans had with nature was different than the type of relationship we have with nature now. The Native Americans respected nature and took care of it, and they were very thankful of the land they lived on and the natural surroundings that they had. "Seventh generation sustainability, the idea that decisions should be considered for their impact on the seventh generation to come, inspired by the laws of the Iroquois." Taking this into account we should really think of Earth 's Energy Balance which is that our planet has a budget of how much energy comes into the planet, how much energy is lost in space, and how much is on Earth and its atmosphere. On the other hand we think what we are doing is best for us but

According to the World Health Organization, “The World Health Organization (WHO) defines them as an organism who’s DNA has been altered in a non-natural way. GM plants are usually changed to be insect resistant, virus resistant, or herbicide tolerant. With these changes come some potentially problematic environmental challenges.” (Emily Glass). It’s a good thing that it is virus resistance and insect resisentance but the impact it has is immensely large because, “toxicity is a huge issue surrounding chemical pesticides and herbicides, used commonly with GMOs, in addition to the toxicity inherent to these plants. GMOs may be toxic to non-target organisms, bees and butterflies being the most talked-about examples currently. Bees are hugely important in the pollination of many food crops, but are unfortunately extremely endangered by modern agricultural techniques, such as GM crops. Monarch butterflies are specifically at risk from GMO maize plants. In addition to bees and butterflies, birds are also at risk from pesticides, and work as biological control agents and pollinators, again, like bees.” (Emily Glass). The US government knows the harms also that the pesticides bring upon us, “Despite these negative impacts, U.S. government regulators continue to approve GMO crops. Most recently, the EPA approved a toxic herbicide cocktail known as Enlist Duo, a blend of glyphosate and 2, 4-D, to be used on genetically engineered corn and soybean crops in six Midwest states with consideration for adding ten more states. Earth justice has challenged the agency’s approval under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), arguing that the EPA did not adequately analyze the impacts of 2, 4-D on human health. Earth justice is also arguing that the EPA’s approval violated the Endangered Species Act, as there was no consultation by the EPA with the Fish &
