Women and the Environment

One of the core and primary issues with women agencies and the environment is that issues occurs such as household products are health hazards . “Housemaker” women are exposed to toxic chemicals ,dumps with its wasted polluted air. Women agency are made up of computer manufacturing company, dairy industry, and house cleaning Creating environmental issues in suburbs, inner-city and even in our neighborhood with bad smells. Issues experienced primarily at the meso , micro level and even macro.

Women work in agencies becoming more and more prone to health hazards polluted they can easily affect their children or families. As the article mentioned that women’s environmental activism includes caring within the home. Women are prone to have a second shift. When come home from along day they are toxic waste that are contaminated . Subsequently we see that infants who are breast fed are consuming anything the mother carries in her system.

Women agencies tend to be domestic industries as the video showed us that the government ought to be “for the people”. However we see that they’re over 100,0000 synthesechemicals which are toxic . The toxic helps build the food chain such as breast feeding becomes toxic. Women are becoming labors and with no options they have reproductive toxic.
America is a nation of consumers and natural resources are been used in products everyday. This has become an way of life advertisement is a global industry that has been a catalyst to consumptions. As the video points out that “Ad’s makes us feel unhappy about what we have so we can go out and buy”. A system in crisis that had become poising to women agencies.

To concluded women agency are polluted and it really impact the lives on a day to day bases. Consequently the poor class people who are usually in contact with chemicals don’t have the necessary resources. We can help protect ourselves by recycling and be eco-friendly
