Question: Applying the following claim to Canada, do you agree or disagree with Michael Bell and Loka Ashwood's claim that "in the United States if a person does not consciously go out of his or her way to take environmentally beneficial actions, by default the status quo results in environmental harm" (page 17, ch 1 in Gould and Lewis). Why or why not? What elements have you considered in your conclusion? How have you measured environmental harm?
