Millennium Goal: Environmental Sustainability

The millennium goal that I had for this project was Environmental Sustainability and we as a group focused specifically on China and how it is effected by this goal. We found that though China has a long history of being environmentally unsustainable there have been many strides made in recent history towards changing this pattern. China has begun to realize the significance of its environmental impact and has made changes accordingly, though many of these changes have been slow going and ineffective.

China reflects how much of the world treats environmental sustainability as a whole and little thought it has been give up until recently. This goal is extremely important to promote and educate people about, since it impacts us all on a global, national, and personal level. This goal has made many positive strides recently towards sustainability such as; solar power being implemented internationally and specifically in China’s rice fields, wind power, and an increase in water sustainability practices. Overall this project helped to educate me about many of the problems that are occurring in China and internationally and about some of the steps that are being taken to work towards solving these problems.
