Deep Ecologist thoghts on the explotation of unlimited resources in the USA

The first Native Americans used animal skin for their clothing, wood to cook and for fire, and they used trees to build their homes. They were the first to settle. This means that they were the first ones to start polluting the environment. They should have been aware for their future and find alternative resources to evolve instead of exploiting unlimited resources in the planet. If they were looking for progress and evolution they should have consider the sustainability of the planet for future generations instead of evolving by themselves just their first years of their existence. In the other hand in those times the worry about global warming and climate change didn't exist that is why they were not aware of the damage they were causing to the planet by consuming the unlimited resources that existed.  When the Europeans pioneers arrived to America a problem of overpopulation occurred. This is led for Native Americans to over exploit their land in order to sustain their community. This is when they should have realized that more human’s beings mean more demand for product and more harm to the environment. That is why they should have thought about alternative resources and laws to prevent the harm of the environment. Even though there was increase of population limited resources didn’t increase. Native Americans could live with they had and didn’t need more but when the Europeans pioneers arrived they didn’t explode the resources they brought new technology and new ideas that influenced the course of Americans use of resources.

Regarding the graph above it is seen that as the foreign population increases in this case the Europeans pioneers.  Since 1850 to 1920 the population of America started to increased drastically by a 20 million increase in both foreign born and joined with the total percentage population in the US. This means that if the population increased the demand for resources will increase as well. Through this graph we can conclude that if the Native American population didn’t increase by the new foreign born less resources will have been used and the planet wouldn’t have been as harmed. In the graph below, it can be observed how the USA population start increasing rapidly after the European Pioneers arrived, around the 1780´s; meaning that it was illogical to have an increase in population without an increase in resources. However, since the year 1790 the USA population was around 3.93 million, consequently as a deep ecologist it can be sustained that because of unnecessarily resources used as well as development of technology population has increase till the year 2009 with a record of 306.18 million: harming the environment as a whole.
