<span />D. It's used to create grassroots support for
oil spills, dirty water, and polluted air.
To encourage one to think globally and act locally typically
means that one should consider the issues that exist in the world and to begin
to make a difference by taking action in his or her community because in order
to change the world, it is believed, one should first change his or her
immediate surroundings because that is where it all starts—change. Further, it is meant to convey the idea that
nothing environmental is mutually exclusive because everything is connected on
this planet because of the ripple effect of even the smallest of actions. It encourages one toward believing in the
idea that everyone can make a difference in so much that what is globally occurring
more often than not started locally somewhere—it has its “grassroots.” Thus, the appropriate response is D. It's
used to create grassroots support for oil spills, dirty water, and polluted
air.
