<br/><br/> "A growing number of Americans are beginning to wonder why Europe has leaped ahead of the U.S. to become the most environmentally advanced political space in the world today. To understand why Europe has left America behind in the race to create a sustainable society, we need to look at the very different dreams that characterize the American and European frame of mind. Ask Americans what they most admire about the U.S.A. and they will likely cite the individual opportunity to get ahead--at least until recently....Ask a European what they most admire about Europe and they will invariably say 'the quality of life.'" (E MAGAZINE) This article discusses how the differences in cultural beliefs among Americans and Europeans have contributed to the almost opposite approaches that the United States and Europe have taken towards environmental stewardship.
