Junkyard Planet (Adam Minter) assignment

 

In a two page essay consider the conflicting findings in "Junkyard Planet": many people have found a way out of poverty while others, including children, have been exposed to dangerous toxic substances. Environmentally, more and more materials are reused, while at the same time people consume more thinking recycling gives them "a get out of jail free card." 

Consider your response in terms of the conflicting values in justice and human rights. What values can you identify in the book's examples (cite specific examples and pages from the book)? What values do you consider most important in these cases? And lastly, what does justice demand of us as consumers?
