Decide on 4 of the Civilizations we have studied this year. For each civilization, list 5 elements (there are 8 total, so choose 5) and write a fact, or sentence about
that element.

I choose Egypt, Incas, Mayas, and the Aztecs

Most changes are inexpensive and easy to implement.

Explanation:

The societies developed on the basis of the unbridled exploitation of natural resources and until then they had no concern about the emission of pollutants. After the recent discoveries of science, scientists and environmentalists alerted the governments and a kind of collective cosciencia happened to be reproduced in scale. Today, the authorities are looking for alternatives to sustainable economic development, that is, countries must grow without harming the environment.

However, this is a difficult task, as it is necessary to change the mindset of people who view economic activity as just a way to make a profit. This is aggravated because sustainable alternatives are still costly compared to the traditional model. Thus, the issue of coscientization becomes increasingly relevant. If people are aware of the seriousness of the effects of global warming, greater social pressure can cause economic agents and politicians to adopt urgent environmental policies for the good of all.
