  REFLECTION ESSAY My group's theme is Environmental Issues, and I choose Pollution for my topic. At first I was afraid of not finding any or some of literature works for this topic because I think there is no specific works for this kind of topic. But after I tried to find and search it online, I found a lot of interesting works for my portofolio and I get to learn a lot of things from it. At first, all I knew about Pollution is that is just some of the environmental issues that have never been solved until this day. But it turns out that it is  more than that. Based on what i have searched before, According to education.nationalgeographic.org  Pollution  is the introduction of  harmful  materials into the  environment . These harmful materials are called  pollutants . Pollutants can be natural, such as  volcanic ash . They can also be created by human activity, such as trash or  runoff  produced by factories. Pollutants damage the quality of air, water, and land.  Many things tha

You'll do it 20,000 times a day. You assume all this air is clean; it's the very breath of life. But in Delhi, the toxic smog is as bad for you as smoking 50 cigarettes a day.

  Author                           : Max Liboiron Genre                              : Environmental Studies Year of Publishing     : May, 2021 In  Pollution Is Colonialism  Max Liboiron presents a framework for understanding scientific research methods as practices that can align with or against colonialism. They point out that even when researchers are working toward benevolent goals, environmental science and activism are often premised on a colonial worldview and access to land. Focusing on plastic pollution, the book models an anticolonial scientific practice aligned with Indigenous, particularly Métis, concepts of land, ethics, and relations. Liboiron draws on their work in the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR)—an anticolonial science laboratory in Newfoundland, Canada—to illuminate how pollution is not a symptom of capitalism but a violent enactment of colonial land relations that claim access to Indigenous land. Liboiron's creative, lively, and pass
