My text that is symbolic of an artifact of environmental ethics is literally telling the history of climate change and when we first started finding elements that damaged our environment. I thought this would be a good "artifact" because it shows when our environment first starts changing, and what was found first. The article explains that In 1753 we found carbon dioxide, in 1827 we found that the earth was getting warmer and presented the idea of a green house, and in 1896 we found out that burning emissions could lead to global warming. I think it is crazy how long ago these facts were found out, yet not until the last ten years the Earth hasn't really focused on preserving the Earth very much. We just recently started "going green." Whether that means inventing new technology that does not harm the environment, or finding other ways to preserve our resources, this did not start until a little over a decade ago!
