Environmental Managers to Deep Ecologist‏ Europeans vs Native Americans...

We don’t agree with the point of view the deep ecologist are talking about because trough history we can see that native people not only from  North America but also from  the whole American continent  were after by the colonization of Europeans. The major cause and over exploitation of resources and humans being were caused by Europeans. When they just arrived to America they started to implement mining because they wanted to get gold and other resources like coal. In this case they require to build more railroads so they were able to transport trough the land earlier. The resources they get from America were took to Europe to make them commercial and gain money. In the other hand Native Americans were really connected with nature each time they killed an animal they use all the parts f the body like skin, bones and meat. They use the skin to cover themselves, the bones to build weapons and tools and the meet to have a resource of food. We can see that Native Americans use the resources in a practical manner that really did not affect the environment that surround them. Another big impact in the population if Native Americans was that Europeans brought many diseases into America and killed some native people. They killed many people thanks that they brought influenza, tuberculosis, cholera and basically more sexual diseases, and many more disease into Americans.  Europeans already developed medicine and their bodies were already prepare to fight those diseases in the other hand this was new for Native Americans which they were not able to support and that’s why many of them died. The natural medicine they had was not enough to fight against this diseases and Europeans did not wanted to help Native American to get cured. Comparing Native Americans and Europeans we can clearly notice that Europeans were responsible for the destruction and over explosion of the environment and on the native people. The principal interest of Europeans of getting resources for their continent was each time greater because on Europe resources were decreasing. When they arrive to the American territory they built several mines for exploiting minerals with the purpose of exporting back to their continent. They were the ones who started with the innovative idea of building a railroad for transportation of resources using coal (nonrenewable resource) for the train. They also replace nature with railroads and roads as well. This caused segmentation and negative impacts to the environment. Due to the excess exploitations of resources a big part of those resources were not used in an efficient way, in other words wasted. Native Americans use their resources for the needed and basic needs for surviving, without any interest of commercialization as Europeans the reason why they were motivated to exploit resources as much as they can.
