The classical environment theories and their usefulness in SA

The classical theorists in my thinks is the  foundational theorists pioneer thinkers such  Marx, Weber, Durkheim and Simmel they have  not taken the concept of modernity in a formal way, their works indicate that they are concerned with the processes of modernisation.

The environmental problem that we face in South Africa is food waste because food intended for human consumption is produce in SA in more than around 1 billion tons which half of it is being wasted in the ground which make pollution and littering to our environment. Plastic Pollution is another problem that south Africa faces according to the statics of 2020 it shows that more than 11 million tons of plastic it is making its way into the oceans and rivers every year, Plastic pollution is also bad to the wildlife and the animals that live in there and it also participate in the starting of fires. Deforestation participate in the environmental problem because it is affecting the agriculture sector which causes deforestation. Air pollution is another cause of the problem that we have in SA because people are burning many chemicals in the air such as coal to create electricity and we have many cars which is another cause of environment problem. The last problems  the water pollution which is caused by dumping sewage water in the rivers that helps people with water to drink and washing cars in the rivers is also a factor to the environment problem in south Africa.
