How does the relationship between science and technology affect environmental problems and solutions in today's society?
Science and technology have a profound impact on the problems and solutions of today's society. One such reason is that in order to enact environmentally friendly methods of sustainability, it must first be economically feasible for society in general. Society, at this point in human history does not have the necessary funding capacity to enact many of the environmental solutions currently available to civilization. For one, there is first an opportunity cost imbedded in the use of those solutions. For each dollar allocated to environmental solutions, there is a corresponding dollar taken away from other projects society deems as more important, including education and health care. Likewise, the issue of environmental sustainability is not a priority to the majority of society at is current price structure. We need only look to the acceptance of expensive solutions to energy such as wind, water, and solar power as evidence of this. Currently these forms of energy are indeed sustainable, but at their current price structure, they simply...

Global Food System Multinational agribusiness is thriving, yet nearly 40 developing countries urgently need food to feed their starving populations (Lean, 2008). Food security is being held hostage by giant food and biotech companies (Lean, 2008).

LD50 values are not always given on the pesticide label; rather, the relative toxicity of a pesticide product is exposed by one of three signal words: DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. The rationale for signal words is to alert the user to the level of toxicity of the product. The signal word is usually assigned based on the pesticide's inhalation, oral or dermal toxicity, whichever is the most toxic" (Lethal
Aboriginal Food "The colonial impact on indigenous people's food practices was cataclysmic and its effects still reverberate today."[footnoteRef:1] Food has therefore become one of the most important issues for aboriginal people, on a practical and immediate level and also on a global, political, and policy level.
