Industrial Revolution
1. Rapid expansion of production, trade, and distribution of goods
2. Shift from renewable wood to nonrenewable fossil fuels
3. Human population – sharp increase due to reliable food supply and longer life span

Cultural Changes & the Environment Results
1. More energy & technologies to alter & control planet
2. Expansion of human population; increase food supply & lifespan
3. Increase environmental impact because of an increase in resource use, pollution and environmental degradation

Environmental History of US Divided into 4 Eras
1. Tribal2. Frontier3. Conservation4. Environmental
![Page 14: DO NOW Define: – Ecological Footprint – Sustainable](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c252da/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tribal Era
TRIBAL (up through 1600s) • low environmental
impact due to small pops., little technology, lack of infrastructure, little mobility, small footprint, high death rate
![Page 15: DO NOW Define: – Ecological Footprint – Sustainable](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c252da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Frontier Movement
2. FRONTIER (1600s – 1890s) • Frontier Environmental Worldview– Conquer & manage environment
![Page 16: DO NOW Define: – Ecological Footprint – Sustainable](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c252da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Frontier Movement
• FRONTIER (1600s – 1890s) • Colonists begin settling North America • Transfer of land from public to private, idea
of privatization of resources• Natural resources seemed inexhaustible,
exploited quickly• Massive deforestation of the West as it was
settled cheaply

resource policies- Wise-use movement (industry-backed, anti-
environmental) 1988- GOAL: weaken or repeal env. laws & regs.

1990s
- Clinton promised national and global environmental leadership- Criticized for failing to push hard enough- Political & economic support from corporate
backers who argued that environmental laws were hindering economic growth

200ss
- Bush- Not known for his environmental protection
- Increased oil exploration- Did not regulate CO2 emissions
- Obama- Supposedly serious about climate change- Unfortunately, haven’t seen much political action
![Page 36: DO NOW Define: – Ecological Footprint – Sustainable](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/56649f125503460f94c252da/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
5 Most Important Environmental Issues to be Faced in 21st Century
1. Threat of climate change and ecosystem/economic disruption from warming
2. Growing water shortages & political conflicts over water
3. Continuing population growth4. Continuing biodiversity loss5. Continuing poverty
