  One instance of our history of environmental thought in the United States is with the Brundtland report of 1987 (Tomkin, Pg .15). It would summarize things such as our dependency on our ecological systems, quality of life, social networks, and our economy and how these are all intertwined (Tomkin, Pg.15). It would also be one of the first instances in which we see the word sustainable used (Tomkin, Pg.15).   But our history of environmental thought would start much earlier than that.   Environmental historians have deduced that there were at a minimum of three distinct periods in time where the birth of new ideas, scientific understanding, advances in various areas, and more were brought into being and we were able to begin to manage our impacts on the environment (Tomkin, Pg.15).

This is an enormous problem seeing how deceptive these companies are as well as the damage they are doing to our environment.   They are also “produced from the use of synthetic fibers in textiles” (Haab, S., & Haab, K., n.d.).   This is referring to clothing. Despite what we ...
