Answer to Question 1

A list could include: cap and trade markets to curb carbon emissions, the growth of the wind energy industry, hybrid cars and car-sharing companies, better manufacturing for no waste and carbon neutrality, micro-financing and sustainability investments, international agreements like the Kyoto protocol, sustainable agriculture, and green technology (among others).

Answer to Question 2

Globalization is the accelerating interconnectedness of human activities, ideas, and cultures. The most significant elements are economic changes (such as the dominance of transnational corporations like Nokia and Roche), and environmental changes (including both positive effects like a wider market for environmentally friendly products, and negative effects like the worldwide spread of emerging diseases). An example is how fast the H1N1 virus spread over the world in 2009 . The Monroe Doctrine of keeping to ourselves certainly would not work today. Sustainability is going to have to be the key word if we are going to be working so closely with other countries.
