Description

"From comparative historical research, four causes of environmental degradation are mentioned. These four causes drawn from empirical work are different than other less rigorous and mostly deductive theories about degradation by others.

These four are summarized in the phrase "Choices, you remember, solved the ecological tyranny."

This is the abbreviation for the four:

1. Choices 2. Unrepresentative Raw Material Regimes 3. Supply Versus Demand 4. Ecological Tyranny

Solutions:

1. More Choices 2. More Representative Raw Material Regimes (chosen by consumers and citizens more than suppliers or governments against them) 3. Greater Choices means Demand/Consumers/Citizens Have More Options as a check and balance against the powers of Suppliers Only 4. Finding ways to protect inventors, innovations, and market choices from the violence from those who benefit from suppressing wider sustainable options."
