My issue impacts Chicago because it’s the same impact it has as it does in any other city. A shoe carbon footprint is more than 60, therefore it harms our environment in Chicago because obviously everyone has a pair of shoes that cause that impact. There’s already a lot of pollution going on in Chicago do to factories, but when you order shoes or go buy new ones in your own it only increases the carbon footprint. “Factories and power plants give off chemicals when burning oil and coal. Auto exhaust contains sulfer dioxide, which also adds to the acid in the rain. The result is that lakes, rivers, and streams get polluted and fish and plants are harmed.” This shows how factories have had a huge impact on our environment in Chicago. Not only does it harm us, but also our fish.
In Chicago, as any other city has shoe stores that not only was their shoes made with toxic chemicals, but it was also brought with transportation that increases every day the carbon footprint. When this happens it can cause asthma and other diseases that can cause death. Now why make this planet more polluted than it already is? But yet again all we think about is the luxurious things. However, there are ways into lowering down our carbon footprint when purchasing a shoe, such as seeing the types of materials that were used and the type of transportation we use in order to obtain that shoe.
What it means to think globally and act locally is that you should always care about the whole entire world, but most importantly also care about your own surrounding.Also, it can mean that you should take care of what’s around you like you care about other things. Such as, using the things you already have in your own environment rather than taking things out of other places. Many of us are so ignorant that all we think about is ourselves and never really think thoroughly about other issues surrounding us.
