Problem Statement: As we progress as a society, we are learning that our own actions as human beings on this earth are affecting our future negatively. Our existence and way of life is making a great impact on the environment. Because of pollutants spewing out of cars, chemicals seeping into the soil, and over-consumption of natural resources, planet Earth’s environmental outlook can be interpreted as bleak. Many people want to make sure our planet will not fall into permanent disrepair. Americans, especially, need a way of life that instills less impact on our planet.
Research Question: Is a shift to simple living, or “voluntary simplicity” a beneficial and reasonable route for Americans to reverse or slow down our negative impact on the planet thus far?
I am open to suggestions as to how I can make my Research Question better, whether through wording or what I should be focusing on. Please comment and let me know what you think =]
