The San Jose March For Science. For My Civic Engagement

The San Jose March for Science For my civic engagement assignment, I attended the San Jose March for Science from San Jose city hall to the Plaza de Caesar Chavez. The March was in organized primarily in response to the Trump administration’s unfavorable views on science, especially towards environmental science, and was held in conjunction with hundreds of other marches attended by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. I’ve never been the most civically-minded person so I was not quite sure what to expect when attending, but I think that I gained a more personal understanding of the political and democratic aspect of environmental citizenship.

A parallel could be drawn to the idea of the Social Contract, where people give up certain privileges and take on certain duties in order to be effectively governed as a part of a greater society (Gough 2-3). Environmental citizens give up certain privileges such as littering or using fossil fuels and take on duties like recycling or voting for environmentally friendly laws or politicians in order to better the environment as a whole. Environmental Citizenship can be further broken down into two rough categories: personal daily citizenship and large scale political citizenship. Daily environmental citizenship refers to people following environmentally just laws and performing environmentally conscious actions in daily lives, such as recycling, eating food from environmentally friendly sources such as homegrown gardens, using eco-friendly transportation such electric cars or public transportation, and other similar activities. Political environmental citizenship is when people partic ipate in large scale political processes such as voting, political demonstrations (such as the March that I attended) or protests and even running for political office.
