Planet's problems are multiplying

I selected this article because the area of psychology in which I want work is community psychology, which works on issues such as poverty, environmental issues and public politics. It really is not an article itself, but a series of letters to the editor with opinions about the proposals of George Monbiot, one of the best known writers in the environmental movement. Author of ten books on the subject and representative figure of the group People & Planet. Monbiot has been awarded the 500 from the UN for its work on environmental issues. As such, it has earned the cordial hatred of right-wing sectors in the current policy. These letters address the debate around environmental issues, on the one hand some people believe that the main responsibility lies with the richest countries, who through the economic system of production have devastated the planet, others point out that the exponential increase population, especially in poorer countries, has a significant effect in increasing environmental problems. Although this is not an article, as I already noted, I think it offers an interesting discussion and highly relevant considering the current environmental conditions of our planet, a subject on which I also would like to work at the level of policies and communities.
