Protecting our future: What contribution can I make?

Abstract

(A) The crises related to climate and the economy endanger future and current generations but altering the small impact or minimal emissions of an individual person is—because of the failure of political coordination—not the best way to overcome these crises. (B) When we act as individuals to act as stopgaps for policy to minimise the mountain of problems, the following applies: We should not waste our energies on limited involvements in small, primarily symbolic collaborations but should instead endeavour to make the biggest difference of which we are capable with regard to improving the world. (C) We make the biggest difference when our limited budget for improving the world is used against poverty, for example, and combatting poverty is precisely what brings positive side effects with regard to human rights and the protection of the climate, animals, and species. For example, support for poor farmers in rain forests can save those rain forests. Every CO2 calculator demonstrates that commitment to the Third World is up to 50 times more efficient than reduction of personal emissions.

Evolution Characteristics of Cultivated Land Protection Policy in China Based on Smith Policy Implementation

“…What's more, the researches on farmers and the key implementation subject of Smith policy implementation model are mostly based on empirical analysis, which is lack of exploration on the policy evolution of cultivated land protection policy from the perspective of policy implementation. Regarding the protection of cultivated land, there are more work could be carry out in the future [12]. As most previous studies have made policies based on the historical evolution of cultivated land protection policies, this paper uses the Smith policy implementation model to introduce new concerns about the perspective of cultivated land protection policy implementation from the historical and local evolution of Chinese cultivated land protection policies, and obtain countermeasures for improving cultivated land protection policies.…”
