Eleanor Oakman, Chapter 2: Question 7

Reading chapter 2 I learned that  many people in the world are too used to living a life of luxury. On pg. 37-38 Wheelan gives an example about how sometimes when the government tries to do so,ethic good for the economy or earth, it can lead to bad endings. Like when the Mexican government put the law on driving only 6 days a week. They did this so people would drive less, hoping that the air pollution would clear up and they would get more tourists (helping the economy). This didn't work out and people began buying more cars and driving even more making the air pollution worse. The point that I was most annoyed with was the fact that too many people don't want to sacrifice anything and are stuck in the world of luxury, even if  it costs more in the future.
