This article by Joy Williams discusses one of the most debatable environmental issues in our world today: saving the nature. Williams discusses that the environmentalists, that are the main people trying to fight for our planet, are also consumers, that without noticing are consuming products that are extremely bad for our environment and that go against their own views. Joy William goes on by expressing how these environmentalist aren't praised at all, since what they have been causing is economic problems, mainly in the food industry. The people who sell shrimp are hated for selling one of the most demanded products in the food industry. Overall, this article show the problem of the concept of saving the world we live in because instead of working for a better world to live in, people just want to live their own selfish life, and stay in their comfort zone.
