This paper investigates how the notions of sustainability, control of the resources, and environmental justice are strongly interlinked in Paolo Bacigalupi’s dystopian hit "The Tamarisk Hunter". The main character is the man named Lolo who, in the future American Southwest, which was seriously damaged by a severe drought, makes his living by robbing the tamarisk trees for a bounty By using Lolo’s struggle to exist as an example in the world that is close to drought and seeing the methods that the included society takes in order to control the left water resources, this study outlines the serious value of the human-environment relationships. Bacigalupi passages being a strong criticism to today environmental behavior, challenging the sustainability of present resources management style, the equity of the resource allocation and the moral dilemmas of a survival manner based on the exploitation of the environment are being questioned. This paper seeks to bring to the spotlight the discussions on the topics of environmental sustainability, resources control, and environmental justice to spotlight the larger discourse on the human side of how people can adapt to these climate change challenges in terms of how they can strive to carry on with their lives in this changing world
