Deep Ecologist comments on Soft Ecologist

Soft Ecologist say that deep ecologist view the environment as sacred. They say that native Americans used the resources appropriately however they are not considering that Europeans Pioneers invaded Americans bringing new technology and therefore they require more resources, that way they pollute more.  That is why we as deep ecologist believe that the environment should be above all and that way see if it can support all the life that the European Pioneers and the Native Americans need.
In the graph above we can see that as the population grows so does the economy. This leads to demographic changes that affect the environment. That is why it is more important for us to take care of the evironment in order to have a sustainable future i this planet. In the graph above it is evident that when the Europens arrived to America the Native Americans were forced to adopt new ways of living, for example as seen above in 1820 there was an Embargo war for agricultural lands. Overpopulation lead to the depletion of soil. Therefore, we can conclude that as population increases the environment is harmed that is why it is more important for us to consider the safety of the environment than the benefits of human beings. The soft ecologist said that the native Americans used the appropriate amount of resources but they are not considering the demographic changes that the world faces.  As seen above in the year 1850 as the population increases new method of living and technology need to be set, that is why they need to establish takeoff factories and railroads.
The visual above demonstrates that the planet is not able to hold overpopulation. This problems of overpopulation started when the Europeans pioneers invaded the Americas. The soft ecologist should consider this problem that harms our future in the planet due to the limited amount of resources that the planet has. We are abusing the amount of resources we have and therefore we will encounter more problems as population continues to increase in the planet.
