United States’ President Ronald Reagan once said, “Preservation of our environment is not a liberal of conservative challenge, it’s common sense (Ronald).” Although throughout history countless of prominent figures in society have set the issue of the well being of our planet as a top priority, the majority of the world population has come to ignore it until now, when it has directly affected their lives. Around the entire globe, droughts, floods, food shortages, poverty, and the overall deterioration of our planet. Although larger developed countries, such as the United States and China, have taken numerous small steps to improve conditions within their own countries further steps must be taken to preserve the only planet the human population has from its inevitable doom.

The Republic of Bolivia believes that, for the purpose of giving all countries the opportunity to improve the quality of the environment in said countries, the developed nations should provide monetary support or essential resources of equal value for the developing nations. Responsible for only 0.04% of global emissions (Climate), Bolivia has come to face dire consequences for the mistakes and wastefulness of foreigners. Global climate change has had a tremendous effect on Bolivia in five areas: food shortages, “glacial retreat and water availability; natural disasters; diseases and forest fires (Climate).” In the Bolivian Andes, temperatures have tripled and have led to rapidly melting glaciers (Climate). In between the years of 1975 and 2006, the Cordillera Real glaciers decreased by 40% in total volume (Climate), leading to water supply shortages. The water supply for La Paz, the nation’s capital, and El Alto is the Tuni Condoriri glacier. Responsible for ...

The republic of Bolivia will continue to voice its needs, along with the needs of fellow developing country’s, for whatever means necessary and continue to be an angry voice for all developing nations. Bolivia demands that “any financing be paid out in full and rapidly” by developed nations (Water and Ice). Bolivia is confident that at this conference all of the developing and developed nations alike will make major reforms to help reduce their global emissions and help to clean up the environment. Bolivia also urges UNFCCC to persuade the developed nations to support the most impacted developed nations in order to help preserve the environment. As such, the republic of Bolivia feels positively towards the result of this conference and offers its support to in maintaining our only home, planet Earth, in the best condition possible.

  • Spanish Colonialism and the Indigenous People of Bolivia

    Prior to Spanish discovery of the new world, the area now known as Bolivia was home to three major ethnic and linguistic groups; the Uru, Aymara, and Quechua. The Uru lived on rafts, fishing and foraging along the shore of Lake Titicaca. The Aymara dominated the Uru, reducing their status to poor fishermen and landless workers. Aymara society was built upon a basic social unit of kinship that organized the distribution of labor, and this system, termed “ayllu,” was later adopted by conquering Quechua. The Aymara are known for their practice of ‘freeze drying’ potatoes high in the mountains, for their organized systems of irrigation, and their control of colonies in warm lowlands to produce food. By the early 15th century the Quechua dominated the northern highlands of the Andes, and by the later half of the century had adopted the name of their supreme ruler, the Inca. The Inca led a series of invasions into weakening Aymara kingdoms in the south Andean region.

    In 1967 deep in the Bolivian Jungle a group of Bolivian Special Forces, trained by the American Green Berets were hunting down Che Guevara, a Marxist revolutionary, who had been attempting to overthrow the government. Guevara had gone to Bolivia in the hopes of instigating a revolution among the poor Bolivian peasants but to his surprise his ideals were met with either indifference or contempt and it was one of these people that betrayed his location to the Bolivia government, and so the Special Forces were sent out to kill Guevara. They tracked him down in the middle of the jungle where he was killed, his hands cut off for identification and his body buried in an unmarked location so as not to become a martyr’s grave (1967: Che Guevara). This story, although centered around one very famous man, is just one of the few that mark Bolivia’s tumultuous history of instability and military action.

    We have all heard the terrifying predictions that will arise if our current overpopulated society doesn’t make the life changes that will help improves our lives, but more importantly improve the life of the earth and save all the organismic life it provides for us. Al Gore brought the issue of global warming to our attention in 2006 in the film An Inconvenient Truth that focuses a lot of attention on human-generated greenhouse gases and the obvious affects it has made on the earth. The effects of human-generated greenhouse gases make up a large amount of environmental damage touching on every aspect of water, land, and air. Some of our major contributions are: “3/4 carbon dioxide from deforestation; ‘deforestation is created by the demand for forest products tracks closely with rising per capita consumption in recent decades. Global use of paper and paperboard per person has doubled (or nearly tripled) since 1961’, 14% of methane comes from agriculture being livestock and feed, 8% nitrous oxide which are nitrogen fertilized soil and livestock waste, and lastly 1% fluorinated gases which come from industrial processes” (Miller pg.4).

With such ravaging problems and an unresponsive government, it is up to the citizens to monitor and maintain our pristine Earth and its vital services.

    Let’s be honest with ourselves for one second, for as long as we have money hungry politicians and states wanting to gain the majority of political power, we will always see national economic interest take precedent and priority over the environmental concerns of the world. Us as humans by nature have the instinct to care more about our standard of living rather than the health and preservation of rarely seen species of our ecosystem. As hard and degrading it is to admit it, our lifestyle today has taught us to care more about our own well-being, than we do of those people who will be living three, four or even five generations later.

  • Personal EcoPlan: Think Globally, Act Locally

    Being part of the class, Stewards of the Living World, I have learned so many surprising facts about the environment that I usually never really care for or took notice of before. After a couple of months of learning about topics like global warming, the water/carbon cycle, the food web, and the ecosystem, the knowledge that I gained has widened my eyes to a whole new perspective on how I should treat and view Mother-Earth. I learned that Mother-Earth is like a treasure chest where when we open her up she is full of valuable resources that we should be thankful for instead of just taking advantage of them. It is really disappointing and saddening to know that a majority of the world’s populations are still in denial at the thought of the environmental changes that are taking place on Earth and not a lot of initiatives are being carried out to prevent or even to reduce those changes. Taking matter into my own hands, I vow to develop a concrete personal ecoplan where I will change all of my reckless living habits and making them more “eco-friendly,” and hopefully my carbon footprint will decrease as a result.

They state that one person in the world does not make a large difference. In reality, each individual's contribution greatly affects our environment. Our natural resources are slowly disappearing, and we must work together to save them and the Earth from ruin.
