SummaryThe emphasis placed on environmental protection has steadily dwindled throughout history; today we find ourselves surrounded by cancer-causing products, gas-guzzling SUVs, dramatically shrunken forests and the impending doom of global warming. Citizens everywhere are playing the ignorance card, saying they never heard of these problems before and now it is too late for them to contribute in any way. However, if we consult women like Marge Piercy, Rachel Carson, and Octavia Butler, this threat is older than we may allow ourselves to believe. Their respective works, “The Common Living Dirt,” “The Obligation to Endure,” and “Imago,” all contain themes or warnings about the potential cataclysmic destruction that will occur if we as a people, a society, and a planet continue to disregard the flagrant warning signs Mother Nature is sending. However, humans, Americans in particular, are already too cemented in their gluttonous ways, hinging on selfishness, to save the planet, and consequently, themselves.
