Building a greener world takes a world of change

Why corporations must take charge in protecting the environment.

The world is getting close to a point of no return.

In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released an alarming warning . In this shocking report, the IPCC shared how we’re dangerously near to destroying ourselves beyond repair when it comes to global warming. If governments are not able to stabilize global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, there will be consequences.

The planet’s temperature today is close to that figure, having seen average global temperatures rise between 0.8 and 1.0 degrees Celsius, in comparison to pre-industrial values. The IPCC further warned that we could reach the 1.5-degree threshold sometime between 2030 and 2052. Once that happens, we could face issues such as rising sea levels, extreme weather, flooding and more.

This is why many parties have begun championing environmental preservation in recent years. We are acknowledging the impact mankind has had on the planet and that we still have the opportunity to change our habits to preserve the planet for our future generations.

Increased education and awareness are what fuels small but growing movements like the #trashtag initiative. This initiative has people from around the globe clearing garbage that has piled up over the years, then sharing before and after photos of the areas they’ve cleaned up to inspire and encourage others to do the same.

However, while individual efforts are worthy of applause, corporations are truly the ones that play a huge role in enacting change. They are the ones who are able to generate the most impact.

For Hungry Minds

Among those taking hold of this environmental charge are companies like EcoWorld – a property developer in Malaysia. The Group is deeply committed to ensuring that their developments are green and sustainable.

Organizations like EcoWorld understand that saving the planet requires effort in three key areas: protecting the environment from damaging practices, creating advocates for the future as well as encouraging individuals and families to adopt green habits.

Protecting the environment

Corporations that want to play a role in preserving the environment must first review their practices and how they are affecting the planet. For corporations in the food industry, it could mean reducing wastage by tackling excess spoilage of ingredients and products. For toy manufacturers, it could mean switching from using harmful materials to safer biodegradable materials for production. For supermarkets, it could mean eliminating the use of single-use plastic bags altogether.

For a property developer like EcoWorld, the key step is when they are looking to develop a new development or township.

“When it comes to planning our developments, preserving the natural environment will always be our first priority,” says Dato Chang Khim Wah, President & CEO of Eco World Development Group Berhad. “We have to act responsibly and I do believe that every little action we take today will help towards creating a better tomorrow.”

When EcoWorld begins a development, they will see how they can preserve the surrounding environment. For them, the priority is about integrating available natural resources into their overall master plan.

To preserve the environment, EcoWorld looks to avoid getting rid of natural hills and hold back from uprooting trees where possible. Even uprooted trees are often re-planted elsewhere to ensure that they can continue to live on. Thousands of trees have been transplanted over the years with the hope of enticing local animals to return to their habitat after the development is completed.

Creating advocates and stewards.

Mandates from the top of an organization may not always be followed, especially if employees don’t buy the overall philosophy. It’s one thing to donate money to NGOs or groups that are trying to preserve the environment but having employees turn into green ambassadors is a whole different feat.

Employees committed to adopting practices that go beyond recycling printing paper at their offices are great examples for all ages to follow.

The philosophy is simple: if you love the environment, teach others to love it as well. It’s a simple belief that can be easily transferred to others, for the benefit of future generations.

“Our employees value our dedication in protecting the environment and carry out numerous green initiatives themselves,” says Dato Chang. “As they see true dedication from the leadership team, they have also adopted a positive attitude and continue to inspire people beyond the office walls and that is always heartening.”

For EcoWorld, Green Stewardship is an important part of the organization’s philosophy. While they do teach staff about conservation by producing their corporate uniforms from plastic bottles and harvesting crops through an urban gardening program, they also encourage employees to lead eco-friendly activities in their developments.

Green Living

While large-scale efforts have a bigger impact towards preserving the environment, empowering employees emotionally certainly helps to build on that effort too as the little things individuals do on a daily basis play a part as well.

Adopting Green Living practices, such as proper recycling, buying reusable straws, limiting electricity wastage and using household items like vinegar and baking soda as cleaning agents instead of chemical-laden products is also important.

EcoWorld helps nudge its residents to adopt green lifestyles by giving them methods and tools to lessen their environmental impact. For example, their Eco Sanctuary township provides the following facilities and features:

• Deep balconies that provide shade to the rooms and reduce heat gain.
• Solar water heaters for all residential units.
• Edible greens, such as herb and fruit trees, available in the development’s backlane gardens and pocket gardens.
• A community waste strategy and educational program that promotes recycling.

“It’s about doing the right thing,” adds Dato Chang. “I think people would adopt eco-friendly practices if given the education and right tools. This is why we work so hard to provide these tools for our residents and we’ve certainly seen great results!”

It is often easy to forget that the planet is a resource shared by billions of people and that future generation will be affected by the decisions made now. Nevertheless, increasing efforts are being made by both individuals and corporations toward a greener tomorrow.

Sometimes all we need is to be shown the path so that we too can walk the talk. Corporations have the power to re-build our future, and teach us how to walk the right path so that we can individually play a role and change the world together.

Green World, Gray Heart?: The Promise and the Reality of Landscape Architecture in Sustaining Nature

Robert France

Featured in:

18: Building Nature’s Ruin?: Realities, Illusions, and Efficacy of Nature-Sustaining Design

Can a few conspicuous solar homes, constructed wetlands, bike paths, recycling industries, wildlife habitat corridors, organic agricultural plots, and wind farms really be the key to saving the world? Isn’t a much greater transformation needed in global economic, political, and social institutions?

—Robert Thayer,  Gray World, Green Heart: Technology, Nature, and the Sustainable Landscape

We live in what the great American environmentalist Aldo Leopold referred to as a “world of wounds,” where there is irrefutable evidence that we are balancing precariously on the brink of natural disasters: “Human beings and the natural world are on a collision course. Human activities inflict harsh and often irreversible damage on the environment and on critical resources. If not checked, many of our current practices put at serious risk the future we wish for human society.” 1  This 1992 statement from a document called “Warning to Humanity,” is illuminating because it does not originate from tree-hugging “green-nicks,” but from more than half of living Nobel Prize winners.

The image of the Earth as the Titanic moving inexorably on its collision course, the band playing and people reveling ignorant of their imminent fate, is an often used but still compelling metaphor for our obliviousness to coming crises in nature (defined here as everything that humans have not made). It is also germane to the question: What are the realities, illusions, and efficacies of nature-sustaining design? Though champions of sustainable design may herald its role in keeping us away from icebergs like global climate change or enormous biodiversity loss, hard-headed realists have no such hope. In short, the key question is,  can  the designers who shape a small portion of our built environment offer anything more than better designed deck chairs more pleasingly arranged?

It is important to establish two caveats at the start. First, the following critique about landscape architecture pertains solely to its role, either implied or specifically stated, in fostering environmental sustainability through either realized or ostensive “green” designs. I of course recognize that this is but  one  of the many benefits accruing from the profession of landscape architecture. And second, the following discussion deals with  only  site-specific design and not regional land-use planning. In other words, although unequivocal evidence exists that land-use planning—such as watershed management or low impact development—makes substantive contributions to sustaining nature, the question examined here concerns the ability of landscape architects’ work on individual sites to affect nature-supporting alterations that make a significant difference. As will be seen, this is not to say, however, that such spatially restricted efforts are in any way insignificant in terms of promoting environmental sustainability through both direct means of ecological restoration and indirect means of experiential education.

The Promise of Sustainable Site Design

In August 2002, a special issue of  Time—How to Save the Earth —came out during the Johannesburg World Environment Conference. Here for the first time in the American popular press—mixed with the usual doom-and-gloom and images of people begging for food, roads clogged with automobiles, wetlands shrinking from drought, and elephants marching to extinction—were essays dealing with the role of sustainable design in moving us back from the brink of natural catastrophe. The publication marks a coming of age for a movement that ironically, while enjoying increasing popularity among the lay public, 2  remains marginal within the design professions.

But the design professions might be on the verge of a paradigm shift in their relationship to nature and sustainability. Long-time champions such as William McDonough, Amory Lovins, and 2002 Pritzker Prizewinner Glenn Murcutt have been joined by a cadre of what  Time  referred to as “some of the most prominent names in architecture [who] have turned green,” like, for example, Sir Norman Foster. The sentence continues, however, with the caveat that this greening by the architectural illuminati is “at least for  selected  projects” (my italics).

As long ago as 1988, the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture charted a course by defining sustainable landscapes as those that “contribute to human well-being and at the same time are in harmony with the natural environment. They do not deplete or damage other ecosystems. While human activity will have altered native patterns, a sustainable landscape will work with native conditions in its structure and functions. Valuable resources—water, nutrients, soil, et cetera—and energy will be conserved, diversity of species will be maintained or increased.”3 Now landscape architects seem to be scrambling to embrace both the concepts and the practices of sustainable design long after this definition appeared and after a period of near silence following the publication of two solid and important books— Design for Human Ecosystems: Landscape, Land Use, and Natural Resources  (1985) by the late John T. Lyle, Professor of Landscape Architecture at California Polytechnic University, Pamona, and  Gray World, Green Heart: Technology, Nature, and the Sustainable Landscape  (1994), by Robert Thayer, Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of California, Davis. 4  Two recent books offer evidence that the profession has taken a turn.  Sustainable Landscape Construction: A Guide to Green Building Outdoors , by Landscape Architecture editor William Thompson, Professor of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico Kim Sorvig, and illustrator Craig D. Farnsworth, represents a watershed in the evolution of the education of landscape designers in sustainability. 5  Its guiding principles—keep healthy sites healthy; heal injured sites; favor living, adaptable materials; protect water; minimize paving; consider the origin and afterlife of materials; know the costs of energy over time; celebrate light, respect darkness; defend silence; and maintain to sustain—offer a set of practical alternatives to business-as-usual. And  Constructed Wetlands in the Sustainable Landscape  by Craig Campbell, Principal with Design Studios West, Denver, and Michael Ogden, President of Southwest Wetlands Group, Santa Fe, although narrower in scope, presents a unique blending of science, engineering, landscape architecture, and environmental art, together with regulatory planning and site development, to advance a vision for managing built wetlands. 6

Academic programs are now being retooled to capitalize on the interest shown among students in sustainable design. The University of Michigan, for example, was recently seeking to hire “a designer and scholar who is knowledgeable and experienced in the application of ecological principles to the analysis and design of the landscape and built environment . . . [and who] will interact with students and faculty who have diverse interdisciplinary interests related to sustainability such as energy-and-resource-efficient building design, green structure and infrastructure, landscape ecology, healthy buildings, urban ecosystem management, and life cycle assessment.” 7  And at the Harvard Design School, a new award—The Loeb Sustainability Prize—will soon be implemented. Available to students in all departments, the award will be given each semester for “the option studio project that most exemplifies principles of sustainability regardless of the topic of the studio.” The strategy is to “raise awareness of these principles and call attention to the importance of imbedding them in the design process rather than seeing them as ‘add-ons.’” 8

The important question is, however, “How all this is being played out among practitioners, who may be out of touch with academia, with books like Thayer’s, and with trend-seeking reporters from international magazines?”

More than Greenwash?

The design professions are not immune to fads, and green design may become their new one. One can easily become cynical about the environmental realities beneath the verbal veneer of many would-be green designs. If you scratch their surfaces, you find only sustainable rhetoric. There is perhaps no more egregious example of this than “eco-revelatory design,” which, as I argued in the Winter/Spring 2000 issue of  Harvard Design Magazine , just tips its hat to nature while making business-as-usual look nice. This begs the question, What exactly is the “business” of landscape architecture? And does adding  green  or  sustainable  before landscape architecture create a redundancy or an oxymoron?

Being a landscape architect, like being an ecologist, is certainly no guarantee of being an environmentalist. The desire of designers to make a personal mark on the landscape, and of ecologists to understand the workings of nature, can often be at odds with a desire to “preserve, protect, and restore environmental integrity”—the mandate of the 1972 U.S. Clean Water Act. Even many of the subset of landscape architects who profess to engage in sustainable design, though they speak lofty, self-important words about making a “green world,” seem to possess gray hearts, or certainly hearts no greener than those of the environmental engineers they are quick to criticize. Motivated in 1993 by fear that “the future of the profession is at stake,” the trustees of American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) adopted a Declaration on Environment and Development, an attempt to encourage landscape architects to play a “key role in shaping an ecologically healthy and regenerative world in the 21st century,” rather to practice “little more than a minor decorative art.” 9  Despite the frequent citing of Ian McHarg’s assertion that the study of environmental ethics, with its roots in ecology, is absolutely crucial to landscape architecture, very few design degree programs offer an environmental ethics course. A 1992 ASLA survey revealed that only three of forty-three degree programs had ever offered a full-credit course on environmental ethics. This was regarded as not only embarrassing, but also outright dangerous. 10  Things have not improved in the interceding decade.

Landscape architecture is often said to advance wise stewardship of the land, yet its degree programs rarely prepare students to do this. James Patchett, chair of the ASLA Professional Interest Group on Water Conservation, has decried the frequent failure of the profession to live up to its ethical responsibility for “the stewardship and conservation of natural, constructed, and human resources.” 11  This “failure of contemporary landscape architects to articulate their role satisfactorily as ‘stewards of the land’” is due, Professor Robert Scarfo (of Washington State University in Spokane) argues, to a delusion inspired by an antiquated romantic ideal of landscape husbandry completely out of touch with the technology-driven realities of the modern profession. 12

The debate about the motivations and environmental efficacy of landscape architecture frequently takes place in the pages of the profession’s trade journal,  Landscape Architecture , as do claims about the human and natural benefits of the attention-grabbing projects presented therein. In a recent article about the 2002 ASLA Awards, jurors referred to “the dearth of ecologically sensitive designs” from which to pick, the “flawed presence [of ecology] in so much of the work” submitted, and the overall impression that “the profession is only giving lip service” to sustainable design. 13  It appears that little has changed in the decade since Thayer wrote that landscape architecture is “dominated by the creation of pleasant, illusory places which either give token service to environmental stewardship values, or ignore them altogether.” 14

“Architecture,” says a prominent critic at the Harvard Design School, is “a destructive act,” with the phrase  green architecture  being as oxymoronic as  green SUVs . The most serious question that can be asked about landscape architecture is whether it too is, overall, environmentally constructive or destructive. How effective the profession is in generating environmental benefits can be gauged by reviewing the projects covered in  Landscape Architecture Magazine . Luckily, a convenient way to make such an appraisal exists. 

One of the most exciting and promising developments that is fostering sustainable design is the increasing use of the US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, which evaluates the environmental performance of buildings and sites. 15  A subset of its criteria appropriate to water-sensitive design includes strategies such as minimizing parking spaces, reducing impervious surfaces, installing multiple source stormwater treatment technology such as bioretention swales, 16  building green eco-roofs and rain gardens, 17  and developing on-site water reuse systems.

A systematic review of the last decade of projects covered in the magazine shows a striking absence of water-sensitive design: less than a third explicitly managed water in ways that would give them moderate-to-high LEED water rating credits, and for the remaining two-thirds, the amount of LEED water credits that could be awarded was minimal—less than ten percent of the potential total.

Based on this sample, “standard” landscape architecture is not “green.” Yet many of the projects that earned few or no water-sensitive LEED credits may have offered some marginal water improvements over the previous site conditions, and thus it might be argued that they pose less of a threat to nature than a building—no matter how green its design—would. But, given that landscape architects pride themselves in being more environmentally sensitive than architects, it may be that such a self-righteous attitude needs to be tempered. In the end, perhaps the best that can be said is that, on average, the projects published in the profession’s primary magazine neither harm nor help nature.

Should such a conclusion surprise us? The most in the know would argue not. The one article in  Landscape Architecture  on the LEED credit system concluded by questioning why there has been so little involvement by landscape architects in developing and applying the system. The answer supports my belief that most landscape architects either ignore the issue of “greenness,” or of those that do refer to themselves as “green,” most are in reality gray at heart: “Many landscape architects feel that they design sustainable landscapes as a matter of course in their general practice and that they don’t need LEED to guide them. There is also a misguided assumption that all built landscapes are ‘green.’” 18  Of course, as even my admittedly small sample showed, such arrogance is unwarranted and instead supports Thayer’s contention that “most products of landscape architecture are simply  not  sustainable by any definition.” 19  In Thompson and Sorvig’s review of over a hundred sustainable landscape projects (selected based on their profession of “sustainability”), they grapple with the troubling reality that these landscapes sometimes  harm  the environment. 20  Never, they note, should we forget that no matter how naturalistic or sustainable a created landscape appears or is touted to be, it is not a substitute for nature free from human meddling. An exception might be made, however, for landscape restoration projects such as storm­water wetlands designed to improve water quality, reduce floods, and enhance wildlife habitat.

“Functional Art”: The Key to Success in Sustainable Site Design?

Given that, in Thayer’s words, “the majority of the work done by [landscape architects] . . . could not possibly be justified under official ASLA rhetoric pertaining to environmental stewardship or sustainability,” and that perhaps the best that we can ask from any site design project is that it “tends” toward sustainability 21  are there projects that transcend the norm? 

The single most effective action that can be accomplished for the future of nature is to motivate and inspire large numbers of people. If enough people cared enough, needed reforms would be put in place. (Carl Steinitz argues elsewhere in this magazine that only fear is an effective motivator. But there have been plenty of proposed alterations to environments halted because people loved what existed.) Motivation will come from people’s experiences of relatively undisturbed, protected green spaces far from cities, but also from educating and directly engaging people in the recognition and repair of damaged landscapes. Whereas the former is the purview of conservation biologists and nature writers, the latter is very much the business of restoration ecologists and landscape architects. Through melding engineering and aesthetics, developing what might be called “functional art,” landscape architects can contribute to sustaining nature. The reason for this is that neither art and design nor science and engineering alone have done much to instill love of and motivate action for the natural world. No one would be inspired by a sterile, engineered waterway (like the Los Angeles River) to protect other rivers, just as no one would become dedicated to preserving rainforests because they contemplated a tree clipped to look like a giant puppy.

The quotations posted on my office door have garnered coverage by  Harvard Design Magazine . One is from Christopher Cauldwell and was cribbed from landscape architect Garret Eckbo’s once influential  Landscape for Living . There may be no better challenge anywhere to C.P. Snow’s assertion that art and science inhabit different worlds: “Art is the science of feeling. Science is the art of knowing. We must know to be able to do. But we must feel to know what to do.” 22  The pressing question becomes can the  feeling  of art and the  knowing  of science be married through landscape architecture as a means for sustaining nature? The answer is a qualified “yes,” as shown perhaps most clearly in the recent development of functional  and  beautiful stormwater wetland parks.

Wetlands combine beauty and ecological function in a way that few other landforms can. As such, they have been and will continue to be important elements in site design and landscape planning. There is a long tradition of scenic wetland gardens. Indeed, landscape design probably began with the publication of Toshitsuna Fujiwara’s 11th-century  Sakuteiki , with its instructions about how to build Japanese water features. 23  And modern landscape architecture is often thought to have started with Frederick Olmsted’s work on Boston’s Back Bay Fens wastewater treatment park system. Since then, wetlands have been constructed primarily by engineers and scientists for flood prevention and water quality improvement. Though these wetlands have functioned well, their generally square shapes have provided little benefit to wildlife and have been aesthetic ciphers. But the synthesis of art and science has nowhere been more successfully accomplished than in the creation, by landscape architects, of treatment wetland parks that, in acknowledgment of Olmsted’s previously neglected vision, combine environmental management and ecotourism.

The trend away from single-purpose treatment wetlands and toward multifunction designed wetland  parks  is the success story in nature-sustaining landscape architecture. No longer are ecological features like wildlife habitats or human amenities like education centers treated as ancillary; instead they are acknowledged to be as important as water management. The ten projects illustrated here, arranged in order from naturalness to artifice, have won numerous awards and are worth briefly introducing as examples of visionary built wetlands, strong in both function and form. 24

All these projects improve the ecology of their immediate surroundings. And since both insults to and purifications of water are additive and transferable to the larger landscape, these site effects are felt downstream and help sustain the entire watershed. In their beauty, these created wetlands also inspire activism for the protection of natural wetlands elsewhere. 

Although what in sustainable ecological design constitutes the “right” balance between nature and artifice (function and form) is debated, these projects show that one needn’t dominate at the expense of the other, and that the extent of the designer’s imprint on the land can successfully vary. There is no real conflict between form and function. And as Thompson and Sorvig note, we usually find nature’s own functional forms to be supremely beautiful. 

Functional art lies at the success of ecologically sustainable designs that will inspire action beyond the bounds of the site. Louise Mozingo, Associate Professor in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, is right to argue that no matter how righteous ecological design projects make one feel, their frequent aesthetic insensitivity send viewers fleeing to the nearest Italian garden.25 It needn’t be this way. The moving poetry and haunting beauty of gardens like those of Kyoto or Suchzou can be inseparable from the engineering of modern water treatment and stormwater management. Thayer is on target again: “Sustainable landscapes need conspicuous expression and visible interpretation, and that is where the creative and artistic skills of the landscape architect are most critically needed.”

Continuing, Thayer succinctly concludes, “But the new institutions needed for a transition to a sustainable world must ultimately be based upon the perception and comprehension of the ordinary people who will create them. In turn,  their  ultimate reality is in the land and spaces around them. The small steps taken to build sustainability into the local landscape in discreet, manageable chunks which people can observe, try out, experience, and improve are actually large steps for humankind.” 26  Amen.

Why is Saving Earth so Important?

Our planet Earth is the only planet that provides us with raw materials, oxygen, food which we need for fuel, and other essential materials.  

There are a number of reasons why saving the Earth is so important:

• Our Earth is the only planet that supports life. Despite signs of organic molecules and water on other planets and moons, life is only known to exist on Earth. There would be nowhere else for us to go if not Earth.
• Our Earth provides us with basic necessities such as medicine, food, clean water, and air to breathe. 
• The combustion of fossil fuels releases harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which traps heat and warms the earth. Rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and more extreme weather events are just a few of the negative effects of climate change that are already being felt.

Essay on Save Earth in 100 Words

The only planet in the cosmos that is known to sustain life is Earth. Since it is our home, we must take care of it.

There are numerous reasons why protecting the planet is crucial. To begin with, it is our only place of residence. There won’t be somewhere else for us to go if we destroy Earth. Second, Earth gives us food, water, air, and shelter—everything we require to survive. Third, a wide variety of biodiversity exists on Earth, which is vital to human health.

Unfortunately, the health of Earth is being threatened by human activity. Among the difficulties we confront are deforestation, pollution, and climate change.

To save the Earth, we can all do our part. Here are some actions you may take:

• Cut back on the use of fossil fuels. Make more of an effort to walk or bike, drive less, and take public transit wherever you can.
• Make the switch to alternative energy sources like wind and solar energy.
• At home, use less energy and water.
• Reduce trash via composting and recycling.
• Encourage companies and groups that are engaged in environmental protection.

Both our own life and the survival of future generations depend on saving the planet. We can contribute to ensuring that our planet is healthy and habitable for many years to come by acting now.

Essay on Save Earth in 150 Words

Since the Earth is our home, it is up to us to preserve it. However, the health of the planet is in danger due to human activity. Among the difficulties we confront are deforestation, pollution, and climate change.

The most important environmental issue of our day is climate change. Greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, which causes the earth to warm. Among the detrimental repercussions of climate change that are already being felt are rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and an increase in extreme weather occurrences.

Pollution poses a serious threat to Earth as well. Among the materials we use to damage the air, water, and land are chemicals, plastics, and trash. Not only can pollution harm humans and wildlife, but it can also ruin ecosystems.

Deforestation is another issue. In this, the trees are removed and instead, buildings are constructed.  Forests filter water in addition to providing habitat for species and regulating the climate. Deforestation is one of the primary causes of both climate change and biodiversity loss.

We must take action to safeguard Earth from these threats. We can potentially reduce our carbon footprint by switching to renewable energy sources and consuming less energy. We can also reduce pollution by using less plastic, recycling, and composting. We can also safeguard forests by planting trees and promoting sustainable forestry practices.

Preserving the planet is essential for our own existence as well as that of future generations. To keep our world safe, each of us has a responsibility.

Essay on Save Earth in 200 Words

The only planet in the solar system where humanity can survive is Earth. Since our planet gives us access to fundamental essentials like clean water, fresh air, and food to eat, it is our duty as humans to make sure that it is habitable for future generations.

We can see that, among all the urgent problems, one of the most significant ones that affect humanity is climate change. Among the detrimental repercussions of climate change that are already being felt are rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and an increase in extreme weather occurrences.

Pollution is another major problem. The majority of the materials that are key to pollution of the air, water, and land are harmful chemicals, plastics that are carelessly thrown away, and other materials. This is not only harmful to humans and wildlife but also to the environment. 

Deforestation is the third main issue; it is the removal of trees for construction or other purposes, like agriculture. One of the main contributors to both climate change and biodiversity loss is deforestation. Consequently, we need to act to defend Earth from these dangers. 

We hope this essay on Save Earth helped you with some knowledge of some of the pressing issues we face on a daily basis and what we can do to save our planet.

500 Words Essay on Go Green

Introduction.

The term “Go Green” has become an anthem for environmental conservation worldwide. It underscores the necessity for sustainable living practices and the adoption of measures that minimize harm to the environment. The concept is not just a trend, but a crucial step towards preserving our planet for future generations.

The need to go green has been driven by the increasing evidence of environmental degradation. Climate change, deforestation, air and water pollution, and the extinction of wildlife are just a few examples of the adverse effects of our actions. These environmental crises are largely due to human activities such as industrialization, deforestation, and excessive use of natural resources.

Going green is a collective responsibility that demands the participation of all sectors of society. It involves adopting eco-friendly practices such as recycling, reducing energy consumption, and promoting renewable energy sources.

The Role of Renewable Energy

Renewable energy plays a significant role in the green movement. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power do not deplete natural resources or contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. They provide a sustainable and clean source of energy that can significantly reduce our carbon footprint.

In addition to the environmental benefits, renewable energy also offers economic advantages. It can create new jobs, stimulate economic growth, and reduce dependence on imported fuels.

Waste Management and Recycling

Waste management and recycling are other critical aspects of going green. Proper waste management can prevent pollution, conserve resources, and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Recycling, on the other hand, can save energy, reduce the demand for raw materials, and lessen the impact on the environment.

Green Practices in Daily Life

Going green is not just about big initiatives; it also involves small, everyday practices. Simple actions like using reusable shopping bags, reducing water usage, and choosing public transportation or carpooling can make a significant difference.

In conclusion, going green is a commitment to a sustainable future. It is about making conscious choices that benefit the environment and ensuring that our actions today do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their needs. As we continue to grapple with environmental challenges, the call to go green becomes even more urgent. It is a call that we must all heed for the sake of our planet and future generations.

Green Revolution Essay for Students and Children

Green revolution essay.

Green Revolution is actually the process of increasing agricultural production by using modern machines and techniques. It was a scientific research-based technology initiative performed between 1950 and the late 1960s, that increased agricultural production worldwide, particularly in the developing world, beginning most markedly in the late 1960s. It used HYV seeds, increased use of fertilizer and more technical methods of irrigation to increase the production of food grains.

Green Revolution in India

In India Green Revolution commenced in the early 1960s that led to an increase in food grain production , especially in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Major milestones in this undertaking were the development of high-yielding varieties of wheat. The Green revolution is revolutionary in character due to the introduction of new technology, new ideas, the new application of inputs like HYV seeds, fertilizers, irrigation water, pesticides, etc. As all these were brought suddenly and spread quickly to attain dramatic results thus it is termed as a revolution in green agriculture.

Statistical Results

A record grain output in 1978-79 around 131 million tons occurred due to the Green Revolution. Hence, it made India as one of the world’s biggest agricultural producer. In India Green Revolution recorded a high level of success. India also became an exporter of food grains around that time.

Economic Results

Crop areas under this project needed more water, more fertilizers , more pesticides, and certain other chemicals. This increased the growth of the local manufacturing sector. Increased industrial growth created new jobs and contributed to the country’s GDP . The increase in irrigation created the need for new dams to harness monsoon water. The stored water was used to create hydro-electric power. All of this resulted in industrial growth, created jobs and improved the quality of life of the people in villages.

Sociological Results

This new technology used frequent application of water, fertilizers, insecticides , larger volumes of transportation, electricity, etc. Not only the agricultural workers but also industrial workers got plenty of jobs because of the creation of facilities such as factories, hydro-electric power stations, etc. to back up the revolution.

Political Results

One of the most important factors that made Mrs. Indira Gandhi (1917-1984) and her party the Indian National Congress, a very powerful political force in India is this Green Revolution. India transformed itself from a starving nation to an exporter of food. This gave India admiration and appreciation from all over the world, especially from the Third world country.

Disadvantages of the Green Revolution

The negative social effect of the Revolution was also soon visible. Disparities in income have been widened by these innovations in agriculture. Rich landlords have control over the agricultural input and improved chemical fertilizers. The worst part is that the poor farmers found themselves handicapped by small farms of land and inadequate water supply. With complete agricultural techniques and inputs, the Green revaluation tended to have its most concentrated application on large farms.

As a concentration of the new technology to large farms, the Inequalities have further Increased. The poor farmers have been adversely affected by a growing tendency among the rich farmers to reclaim land previously leased out under tenancy agreement, which has been made profitable by higher returns from new technology.

The poor and backward class of farmers has been increasingly pushed into the rank of the landless laborer. A drastic increase in a higher level of rent with land value soaring. Also because of excessive use of fertilizers soil started to become alkaline or acidic depending upon the nature of the fertilizer used.

India has made a huge achievement in term of the Green Revolution, as it has provided an unprecedented level of food security. It has pulled a large number of poor people out of poverty and helped many non-poor people avoid the poverty and hunger they would have experienced had it not taken place. This revolution has saved over a billion people all over the world from famine.

In this article, you will read an Essay on Go Green for students and children in 1000 words. This includes what effort needs to save earth , its importance, precautions, and 10 lines on Go green.

So, Lets start this Go Green Essay for Students…

Table of Contents

Introduction (Essay on Go Green)

Nowadays, many people are thinking about environmental issues and the environmental condition of the Earth.

Why has this issue become so relevant? What do we need to do to protect our future?

People understand that their irresponsibility hurts the natural environment. Our planet suffers from many problems, which result from excessive human activity.

The entire planet is suffering from pollution , global warming , deforestation , and endangering wildlife species. These problems are very relevant and require fast and comprehensive solutions.

The solution for these problems is the change in the attitude of mankind towards nature and the natural resources that are being used unrestrictedly. People have to value the environment and nature for their survival. Put, people should go green to save the Earth.

What efforts we should take to go green and save our earth?

We cannot grow a forest within a year; people understand that. But very few people are taking the important steps to change their lifestyle, which will affect the environment in a few decades.

People need to be more educated about the harm that is being done to the environment and the planet earth because of industrialization and pollution.

We should encourage people to plant trees that will grow in ten to fifteen years. Even though our generation might not enjoy this, but our future generation will. It’s like investing in a small firm which develops into an enormous company and will provide profits.

Educating people, the consequences of deforestation, and polluting the water bodies should be done on a large scale, which is possible in this age of the digital world. Every year the average temperature of the planet is rising due to global warming. We should encourage people to use energy-saving appliances, turn off the lights when not required, turn off the taps to avoid water waste age, and drive less.

We need to use more public transport as it does not release any harmful gases that can cause the greenhouse effect and global warming. Subsequently, industrialists must use special filters in plants, factories, and power plants to reduce the number of toxic emissions in air and water. Also, people should stop cutting trees as they are the lungs of the planet.

Consideration of Future Generations by Go green mission

For the wellbeing of the future generation comprising our children and grandchildren, it is the responsibility of the current generation to take care of the environment and not create problems that will be a burden for the future generation.

Many people have thought about why they should think about the planet as they will not be alive till then, and it is a problem for the future generation to solve.

Precautions to take for Go green

Public transportation provides a significant chance to integrate with the community and know your colleagues better too. Also think to buy organic foods and make an organic meal beneficial for both human and environment.

Use natural light instead of the fluorescent light bulbs, which consume more energy. Before leaving the office, see that we switch all your computers and the lights off. Encourage people to recycle and use eco-friendly products.

People don’t care what will happen, and if there is any problem, future generations will solve it. This thinking results from greediness and consumerism.

People have become greedy by nature and value only their comfort. For this comfortable life, nature is being exploited by the current generation, and the future generation will face the effects of this.

It is a little ridiculous to think people are destroying the forest and polluting the rivers so they can gain profit. Even though people require fresh air and water to survive, they do not appreciate it, which is provided by the forest.

But nowadays, many companies have become environmentally conscious and encouraging their employees to be more environmentally friendly. The companies are arranging activities like planting trees, collecting plastics, arranging seminars for employees to increase their knowledge regarding the environment and forests.

10 Lines on Go Green

• Offices are going paperless; more and more work is being done on a computer. With introducing the cloud, people can share their work with their colleagues through this.
• The greenest way to reduce energy consumption is to switch off the lights when not in use.
• Before opting for the recycling , see if you can re-use the substance. For example, printing on both sides of the paper or re-using scrap paper for taking notes.
• Another way of going green is recycling.
• If possible, it will cut unnecessary travel, save money, and consume petrol and diesel, which is one of the principal reasons for air pollution . Nowadays, meetings are conducted with the help of the various video apps available.
• Water needs to be spared at any cost. Use only one bucket of water while taking a bath. Plus, you can also use dual flush toilets or water-saving devices at your homes.
• If possible, use public transport or share cars while commuting towards the office.
• Bring your lunch to the office in a reusable box instead of ordering and eating packaged foods.
• Rainwater harvesting is another option through which you can collect the water and use it for watering the lawns and gardens.
• Encourage everyone near you to keep the city and your neighborhood clean and green.

As you can learn from the above points, there are many ways to go green, which are easy to follow and have many advantages for mankind and the environment. If you care about the future generation and of planet earth and want to make a difference, follow the above suggestions.

If we don’t stop this unwise activity, we will lose many priceless natural resources like freshwater, fresh air, plants, animals, birds, fish, etc. If people do not change their lifestyle, this will lead to deforestation and global warming, leading to the destruction of this planet. Hence it is necessary for this generation to go green to save the planet for the future generation.

Essay on topic 'my green world'?

ESSAY ON "GREEN WORLD"

Climate change is in the news. It seems like everyone's "going green." Environmental protection is a major concern in today's society. Environmental movements are a form of new social movements alongside the women's movement. Environmentalists are concerned with the environment in its relation to human society.

There are many environmental issues facing our green world today. We the new generation owe the basic responsibility of protecting our green world.

Some of the issues which we can focus on to improve the earth's environment are mentioned below;

The biggest issue the world faces today; it is our dependence on oil. This dependence we have is so strong that, we have started wars for oil. It is time we do something about it and try and find an alternative form of energy. Because soon this problem will be too much for us to handle and by then it will be too late.

Save energy

o Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.

o Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out.

o Unplug appliances when you're not using them. Or, use a "smart" power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts energy use.

o Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water.

o Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying.

o Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.

o Plant drought-tolerant native plants in your garden. Many plants need minimal watering. Find out which occur naturally in your area.

o Illegal cutting of trees shall be stopped. This reminds us of The Chipko movement or Chipko Andolan. The modern Chipko movement started in the early 1970s in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand , which is a socio-ecological movement that practised the Gandhian methods of satyagraha and non-violent resistance, through the act of hugging trees to protect them from being felled.

o Since wood is required for producing paper, we can save more trees by avoiding unnecessary usage of paper, using one side paper for rough use and draft printing. Avoiding printing of papers when not required.

o Recycling of papers (such as news paper, old magazine etc.) can help in saving trees.

Plant More Tree s

One has to plant at least two trees in a lifetime.

The photosynthesis conducted by trees is the ultimate source of energy and organic material in nearly all ecosystems. Photosynthesis radically changed the composition of the early Earth's atmosphere, which as a result is now 21% oxygen. Animals and most other organisms are aerobic, relying on oxygen. Plants are the primary producers in most terrestrial ecosystems and form the basis of the food web in those ecosystems. Many animals rely on plants for shelter as well as oxygen and food.

Trees are key components of the water cycle and several other biogeochemical cycles. Plant roots play an essential role in soil development and prevention of soil erosion.

To conclude with we have to create a culture of environmental responsibility across the nation. We shall put all our efforts to go green and protect our green world, which will in-turn protect coming generations and the environment for years to come.

The destruction of a green environment interrupts the flow of fresh air. Human activities like farming and settlement destroy the green ecosystems. A substantial part of the natural forest has been destroyed through deforestation. Protecting and preserving the green world is a vital role of all stakeholders. We have the responsibility of ensuring that no single pollution and contamination is evidenced. The current and future generation inherits the natural environment from the past generation. Safeguarding and maintaining the initial status of the green world is a great responsibility. Various bodies have focused their attention and focus on different environmental issues affecting the green world. Environmentalists have launched campaigns against environmental destruction. Planting trees, use of solar energy, and other alternative sources of energy are among the most effective approach to maintaining a green world.

Urbanization is the greatest enemy of the green world. The majority of the current generation is born and raised in towns. A Bigger proportion of people is migrating from rural to urban setups. These groups of the population are deprived of the knowledge and skills of the green world. Despite enjoying the extreme benefits and pleasure of products made in green world, they are yet to realize the significance of living in a natural environment. Mobilization about protecting the green world is inevitable. The present generation should be enlightened on the need to protect the green world. They should be cautioned against their unresponsive behavior towards the green world. Most importantly, the present generation ought to know the economic contribution of the green world.

Natural forests and vegetation cover are the main cornerstones of the natural world. However, excessive human activities are harmful to the sustainable green world. In spite of the economic value of farming and settlement to the human race, the environmental repercussions of these activities outmatched their merits. There should be a precise balance between farming, settlement, and the natural world. Certain parts of the land should be preserved to sustain the green world. Protective laws and regulations should be implemented to guard against excessive destruction of vegetation cover through human activities either for economic development or settlement. Apparently, planting trees around and within the homestead should be made legal for any household head. Moreover, other rules should be formulated to protect the cutting of trees specifically for timber. For instance, plant two trees when one tree is cut down. These measures are vital to maintaining the green world.

The other enemy of the green world and the primary source of greenhouse gases is fuel production. Energy is vital for sustaining human life both domestically as well as within the industry. The rapid population growth has piled immense pressure on the demand and supply of energy. Domestically, the demand for a steady supply of energy is on the rise since it is used for lighting, warning the house, entertainment, and laundry. Firewood, charcoal, and hydroelectricity are the primary sources of energy for domestic and industrial purposes. These sources have been the greatest sources of pollution in the universe. Currently, the focus has shifted to the production of energy through an environmentally friendly approach. The use of solar panels to convert natural sun rays to electricity is encouraged. Solar energy does not pollute the environment but protects the green world. Similarly, other environmentally friendly alternative green energy should be encouraged to maintain the green world for future generations. In conclusion, the natural environment is beneficial for the human race and animals. It should be protected for sustainable development. The green world is brought into homes in the abstract form of green energy as well as wood products. These products enhance our living standards.

Harvard Should Say Less. Maybe All Schools Should.

By Noah Feldman and Alison Simmons

Dr. Feldman is a law professor and Dr. Simmons is a professor of philosophy, both at Harvard.

Last fall, Harvard University’s leadership found itself at the center of a highly public, highly charged fight about taking an official institutional position in connection with the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the war in Gaza.

First, critics denounced the school for being too slow to issue a statement on the matter. Then, after a statement was released by Harvard’s president, Claudine Gay, and 17 other senior Harvard officials, some critics attacked it for being insufficiently forceful in condemning the Hamas attack, while others criticized it for being insufficiently forceful in condemning Israel’s retaliation.

One of the many sources of confusion at the time was that Harvard, like many other universities, did not have a formal policy on when and whether to issue official statements. In the absence of a policy, Harvard not only had to figure out what to say or not say; it also had to deal with the perception that not issuing a statement, or not issuing one fast enough, would in effect be a statement, too.

Fortunately, Harvard now does have official guidance for a policy on university statements, in the form of a report issued on Tuesday by a faculty working group on which we served together as chairs, and endorsed by the president, provost and deans. The report recommends a policy based on both principle and pragmatism, one that we hope can enable Harvard — and any other school that might consider adopting a similar policy — to flourish in our highly polarized political era.

In brief, the report says that university leaders can and should speak out publicly to promote and protect the core function of the university, which is to create an environment suitable for pursuing truth through research, scholarship and teaching. If, for example, Donald Trump presses forward with his announced plan to take “billions and billions of dollars” from large university endowments to create an “American Academy” — a free, online school that would provide an “alternative” to current institutions — Harvard’s leadership can and should express its objections to this terrible idea.

It makes sense for university leaders to speak out on matters concerning the core function of the institution: That is their area of expertise as presidents, provosts and deans. But they should not, the report says, take official stands on other matters. They should not, for instance, issue statements of solidarity with Ukraine after Russia’s invasion, no matter how morally attractive or even correct that sentiment might be.

In addition, the report says, university leaders should make it clear to the public that when students and faculty members exercise their academic freedom to speak, they aren’t speaking on behalf of the university as a whole. The president doesn’t have to repeat this point with regard to every utterance made by the thousands of members of the university. But the university should clarify repeatedly, for as long as it takes to establish the point, that only its leadership can speak officially on its behalf.

This policy might remind some readers of the Kalven Report , a prominent statement of the value of academic “institutional neutrality” issued in 1967 by a University of Chicago committee chaired by the First Amendment scholar Harry Kalven Jr. But while our policy has some important things in common with the Kalven Report, which insisted that the university remain silently neutral on political and social issues, ours rests on different principles and has some different implications.

The principle behind our policy isn’t neutrality. Rather, our policy commits the university to an important set of values that drive the intellectual pursuit of truth: open inquiry, reasoned debate, divergent viewpoints and expertise. An institution committed to these values isn’t neutral, and shouldn’t be. It has to fight for its values, particularly when they are under attack, as they are now. Speaking publicly is one of the tools a university can use in that fight.

Take the use of affirmative action to achieve diversity in higher education admissions. Harvard argued in defense of this idea in the Supreme Court on several occasions — starting in 1978, when the court’s controlling opinion allowing diversity in admissions relied extensively on a brief that Harvard filed, through 2023, when the court rejected the use of race in diversity-based admissions. Harvard’s advocacy all along was far from neutral and would arguably have violated the Kalven principles. On our principles, however, Harvard was justified in speaking out forcefully in support of the method it long used to admit students, because admissions is a core function of the university.

We recognize that some observers, on both the left and the right, may interpret the timing of our report as an attempt to support some point of view they don’t like. That said, our recommended policy is designed not as a response to immediate events but as a response to the changed reality in which the university operates: a world of social media and polarized politics. Both put intense pressure on universities. Both cry out for a policy where before, none was demanded.

On social media, it can sometimes appear that anyone with a claim to Harvard affiliation speaks for the institution, even as we in the university know otherwise. We’re not naïve enough to think that just announcing a policy will change what the internet thinks. It will take repetition, emphasis and consistency to make the policy widely understood.

In an age of polarized politics, we also need a policy that will spare university leaders from having to spend all their time deciding which global and national events deserve statements and which statements from the university community merit official repudiation. On many, maybe most, important issues, no official statement made by the university could satisfy the many different constituencies on campus.

In formulating its recommendation, our faculty working group struggled with some challenges that don’t have great solutions. For example, we didn’t address, much less solve, the hard problem of when the university should or shouldn’t divest its endowment funds from a given portfolio. The Kalven Report claimed that a decision to divest is a statement in itself and so the university shouldn’t do it. In contrast, we saw divestment as an action rather than a statement the university makes. We therefore treated it as outside our mandate, even though symbolic meaning can be attached to it, just as it can to other actions (including investing in the first place). Our report encourages the university to explain its actions and decisions on investment and divestment — much as Harvard’s President Larry Bacow did in 2021 when the university decided to reduce its investments in fossil fuels, and much as President Derek Bok did when the university didn’t divest from South Africa in the 1980s — but that’s all.

Our committee members represented a wide range of academic specialties and points of view. We disagreed, and still disagree, about a lot. At a university, that’s both normal and highly desirable. Ultimately, a university is a community unified by a commitment to trying to get it right, not by a single answer to what is right in every case. Where we converged was on the belief that the university must protect and defend its critically important role and that it undermines its core function if it speaks officially on matters outside it.

A Federal Judge Delivers Another Urgent, Scathing Warning About the Supreme Court

It takes a lot of courage for a lower court judge to criticize the Supreme Court, but Judge Carlton Reeves has long felt a responsibility to speak candidly to the public about threats to their civil rights. In an opinion on Monday, he calls for the abolition of qualified immunity—a noxious legal doctrine that insulates violent and corrupt government officials, especially law enforcement, from accountability. He embedded this call to action in a broader critique of the Supreme Court’s selective application of precedent—with a focus on the cavalier reversal of Roe v. Wade —as well as its pernicious distrust of democracy. Reeves’ opinion warns all who wish to listen that a broad array of our constitutional liberties are in serious and imminent jeopardy.

A Barack Obama appointee, Reeves sits on a U.S. District Court in Mississippi. His latest opinion was sparked by facts that he sees all too often and has written about before : the egregious violation of a criminal suspect’s constitutional rights as an innocent person wrongly charged with a crime. It began when detective Jacquelyn Thomas of Jackson, Mississippi, accused Desmond Green of murder. The detective’s only evidence was a statement made by Green’s acquaintance, Samuel Jennings—after Jennings was arrested for burglary and grand larceny, and while he was under the influence of meth. Thomas allegedly encouraged Jennings to select Green’s picture out of a photo lineup after he identified someone else as the killer. Allegedly, she also misled the grand jury to secure an indictment, concealing Jennings’ drug abuse as well as the many inconsistencies and inaccuracies in his statement.

Jennings later recanted, admitting that, in his meth-addled state, he’d provided a bogus tip. A judge finally dismissed the charges. By that point, Green had spent 22 months in jail, serving pretrial detention. The facility was violent. The food was moldy. He slept on the floor. His cell was infested with snakes and vermin.

Green then sued Thomas, accusing her of malicious prosecution in violation of the Constitution . Thomas promptly asserted qualified immunity to defeat the lawsuit. This doctrine protects government officials from liability unless they run afoul of “clearly established” law. In other words, there must be an earlier case on the books with similar, “particularized” facts that explicitly bars the official’s actions. If there is no near-identical precedent that unambiguously prohibits those acts, qualified immunity kicks in, the lawsuit is tossed out, and the case never even reaches a jury.

This shield has allowed a repulsive amount of wrongdoing by police and prosecutors to go totally unpunished. Cops are permitted to brutally beat, murder , steal from , and conspire against innocent people because the rights they violate are, ostensibly, not “clearly established.” Courts regularly apply the doctrine when there is a tiny discrepancy between a previous case and the facts at hand as an excuse to let the officer off scot-free. And over the past few decades, SCOTUS itself has expanded qualified immunity to new extremes . The result, as Reeves wrote, is “a perpetuation of racial inequality”: Black Americans experience more violations of their civil rights than any other class, yet qualified immunity denies them a remedy in even the most appalling circumstances.

Here, though, Reeves refused to let the doctrine devour the Constitution. He concluded that there is sufficient on-point precedent to show that Thomas’ malicious prosecution, if proved, violated Green’s “clearly established” rights. So the case may go to trial. That, however, was not the end of his analysis—because, as he pointed out, the concept of qualified immunity is unlawful, unworkable, and indefensible.

The first problem is that judges made up the doctrine as a special favor to other employees of the government. Congress, as Reeves explained, gave individuals the power to sue state officials in federal court through the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, enacted after the Civil War so newly freed Black Americans could sue racist and abusive local police. Congress did not establish anything like “qualified immunity” in the statute. Rather, the Supreme Court invented the doctrine in 1967 , purporting to protect cops who commit illegal arrests in “good faith,” and imposed it unilaterally on the nation. It then crept, kudzu-like , into other areas of law.

“The People never enshrined qualified immunity in the Constitution,” Reeves wrote. “Our representatives in Congress never put it into the statute or voted for it. No President signed it into law. If anything, it represents a kind of ‘trickle-down’ democratic legitimacy.” In recent years, the Supreme Court has not bothered to account for qualified immunity’s origins, but rather maintains it on the basis of respect for precedent: It exists already, so it might as well keep existing.

And here is where Reeves goes for the jugular: The Supreme Court has tossed out far more defensible and entrenched precedent on the basis of far feebler excuses. How can it justify keeping qualified immunity around while recklessly destabilizing vast areas of settled law it doesn’t like?

SCOTUS has suggested that law enforcement officers have come to rely on qualified immunity, creating a “reliance interest” that counsels keeping the doctrine. But when the court overruled Roe in 2022’s Dobbs decision, Reeves wrote, the majority rejected that “kind of vague, ‘generalized assertion about the national psyche.’ ” Instead, Reeves wrote, the justices “thought voters should resolve reliance interests, not judges.” He then repurposed Dobbs ’ most notorious lines : “After all, just like women, law enforcement officers and their unions ‘are not without electoral or political power.’ ” Law enforcement officers, like women, can “affect the legislative process by influencing public opinion, lobbying legislators, voting, and running for office.” If courts can’t protect women’s bodily autonomy, he asked, why should they do the bidding of police unions?

Dobbs , Reeves went on, “also reflects the Supreme Court’s desire to remove itself from the center of a hot-button issue and return it to the electoral process.” Police reform, like abortion, is undoubtedly a “controversy on issues of life and death, where passions run high.” Yet even after Dobbs , SCOTUS “has not yet seen fit to return this contested issue to the democratic process,” Reeves opined. “It is not clear why.” After all, “the current court is certainly not shy about overturning precedent.” And the list of cases on the chopping block “seems to grow every year.” Teachers’ unions and racial minorities have watched the court gut precedent that shielded them for decades. Why should cops get favored treatment? Merely because of SCOTUS’ “policy-based choice” to “privilege government officials over all others.”

Reeves has a complex history with reproductive rights. He was the district court judge who struck down the Mississippi law that the Supreme Court later upheld in Dobbs when overruling Roe . His emphatic opinion famously accused the Mississippi Legislature of misogynistic “gaslighting,” analogizing the state’s defiance of Roe to its earlier defiance of Brown v. Board of Education . It’s evident that, to Reeves, the Supreme Court’s embrace of democracy in Dobbs rings hollow alongside its rejection of democracy in so many other areas, including the Second Amendment. (In a pointed footnote, he called out the court for treating the right to bear arms as a uniquely absolute, unlimited freedom —while greenlighting the erosion of other liberties that it values less.)

The judge folds together these rather scathing observations by reminding us that the Supreme Court’s creation and expansion of qualified immunity is, itself, a rejection of democracy. The Framers, after all, envisioned jury trials as a bulwark of democratic power, a check by “We the People” on government abuse. It was, Reeves wrote, designed to be exercised “one dispute at a time, day after day, rather than on fixed election days.” Unfortunately, an arrogant “judicial supremacy has too-often deprived the people of their proper role” in deciding whether public officials should be liable for their unconstitutional acts. Qualified immunity “reflects a deep distrust of ordinary people” in direct conflict with the Constitution. “In the same way we trust the collective judgment of voters in elections, we must trust the judgment of jurors in deciding cases,” Reeves wrote. They can resolve “tensions and contradictions case by case, as the evidence dictates.” All judges must do “is tell jurors the truth.”

Will the Supreme Court listen? The conservative justices seem disinclined to reevaluate their cynical, selective concerns about precedent and democracy. But with this opinion, Reeves has given the public yet another reason to question these justices’ increasingly dubious wisdom and integrity. Just as importantly, other judges may take note of Monday’s critique and follow Reeves’ suggestion of narrowing qualified immunity wherever possible. They might even join him in calling for its eradication, forcing SCOTUS to either stand by its handiwork or reevaluate it. The judge’s simple suggestion boils down to this: If we’re going to do democracy, let’s actually do democracy—not whatever partisan, half-baked substitute this Supreme Court is trying to pass off to the people.

Giuliani becomes final defendant served indictment among 18 accused in Arizona fake electors case

Arizona’s attorney general says former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been served an indictment in the state’s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn former President Donald Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes posted the news regarding the Trump-aligned lawyer on her X account late Friday.

“The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani nobody is above the law,” Mayes wrote.

The attorney general’s spokesman Richie Taylor said in an email to The Associated Press on Saturday that Giuliani faces the same charges as the other defendants, including conspiracy, fraud and forgery charges.

Giuliani’s political adviser, Ted Goodman, confirmed Giuliani was served Friday night after his 80th birthday celebration as he was walking to the car.

“We look forward to full vindication soon,” Goodman said in a statement Saturday.

The indictment alleges that Giuliani “pressured” Arizona legislators and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to change the outcome of Arizona’s election and that he was responsible for encouraging Republican electors in Arizona and six other contested states to vote for Trump.

Taylor said an unredacted copy of the indictment will be released Monday. He said Giuliani is expected to appear in court Tuesday unless he is granted a delay by the court.

Mark Meadows , Trump’s former chief of staff, is among others who have been indicted in the case.

Neither Meadows nor Giuliani were named in the redacted grand jury indictment released earlier because they had not been served with it, but they were readily identifiable based on descriptions in the document. The Arizona attorney general’s office said Wednesday, May 1, that Meadows had been served and confirmed that he was charged with the same counts as the other named defendants, including conspiracy, fraud and forgery charges.

With the indictments, Arizona becomes the fourth state where allies of the former president have been charged with using false or unproven claims about voter fraud related to the election.

Giuliani faces other legal proceedings, and a bankruptcy judge this past week said he was “disturbed” about the status of the case and for missed deadlines to file financial disclosure reports. Giuliani filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay $148 million to two former election workers for spreading a false conspiracy theory about their role in the 2020 election.

Giuliani was also indicted last year by a grand jury in Georgia , where he is accused of spearheading Trump’s efforts to compel state lawmakers in Georgia to ignore the will of voters and illegally appoint pro-Trump electoral college electors.

Among the defendants are 11 Arizona Republicans who submitted a document to Congress falsely declaring that Trump won in Arizona in the 2020 presidential election — including a former state GOP chair, a 2022 U.S. Senate candidate and two sitting state lawmakers. The other defendants are Mike Roman, who was Trump’s director of Election Day operations, and four attorneys accused of organizing an attempt to use fake documents to persuade Congress not to certify Biden’s victory: John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn and Jenna Ellis.

Trump himself was not charged but was referred to as an unindicted co-conspirator.

The 11 people who had been nominated to be Arizona’s Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and claiming that Trump carried the state. A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored.

Biden won Arizona by more than 10,000 votes.

Eastman, who devised a strategy to try to persuade Congress not to certify the election, became the first person charged in Arizona’s fake elector case to be arraigned on Friday. He pleaded not guilty to conspiracy, fraud and forgery charges .

Eastman made a brief statement outside the courthouse, saying the charges against him should have never been filed.

“I had zero communications with the electors in Arizona (and) zero involvement in any of the election litigation in Arizona or legislative hearings. And I am confident that with the laws faithfully applied, I will be fully be exonerated at the end of this process,” Eastman said. He declined to make further comment.

Arraignments are scheduled May 21 for 12 other people charged in the case, including nine of the 11 Republicans who had submitted a document to Congress falsely declaring Trump had won Arizona.

The Arizona indictment said Eastman encouraged the GOP electors to cast their votes in December 2020, unsuccessfully pressured state lawmakers to change the election’s outcome in Arizona and told then-Vice President Mike Pence that he could reject Democratic electors in the counting of electoral votes in Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.

Associated Press writers Jacques Billeaud and Jonathan J. Cooper in Phoenix and Nomaan Merchant in Washington contributed to this report.
