Causes: Impacts Of The Water Bottle Cycle On Biodiversity

Great Essays
The illustration above is a good summary for the people who have knowledge about Chemistry, Biology, and Geology. However, it is challenging to understand for people who do not have knowledge in the fields mentioned above. It is so important to give an interpretation so that those people can understand this report.
Photosynthesis: This is the process by which plants create their own nutrient by using sunlight. Sunlight acts as the convertor to transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic materials that will serve as nutrient to enable plants to grow. During daytime, plants release oxygen (O2) and absorb carbon dioxide.
Decay organisms: This refers to the breaking down of organic matters due to some bacteria. This will result into the organic

This will hinder the cycle because plastic bottles require many years for decomposition due to their chemical composition.
Impacts of Water Bottle Cycle on Biodiversity
Water Bottle Cycle is a critical issue on the biodiversity because of its impacts on it. It is obvious that water bottle cycle is the main cause of different pollutions.
• Extraction of oil from the Earth causes both water and air pollution
• Refinement of oil caused air pollution because the refinement takes place in the industries or factories
• Transportation of water bottles causes air pollution due to the burning of fuels in an engine that emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
• Water bottles that are thrown in the landfill cause environmental pollution because those bottles require many years to decompose or

When the environment is at risk, people are at risk because they rely on the environment. They should do their best in order to save the environment by solving the problems that are hindering the environment. Therefore, there are couple of solutions in order to address the negative effects on the environment. One solution can address one or multiple problems among those mentioned above.
1. Drinking tap water instead of bottled water: Tap water will solve the problem because it will reduce the effects of water bottle production and recycling. It will reduce the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere because of bottled water transportation from the water plant to the consumers. Additionally, there will be a reduction of empty water bottles in the dumping sites. This is important because people use to throw empty water bottles everywhere that will eventually pollute the environment. 2. Cycling: Cycling is the best way of reducing the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere because it does not use fuels. People can rely on cycling while they are walking to work, to school, to vacation near their country. This will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted into the atmosphere every

    Plants change the sunlight's energy into chemical energy by the process of photosynthesis. Pigments in the plants called chlorophyll, absorb photons from the sun. Glucose is the main source nutrition in plants. Two reactions happen in the Photosynthesis that are the light reactions, also known as light dependent reactions, and dark reactions, also known as light independent reactions. The dark reactions are sometimes called the Calvin cycle, C3 Cycle, or Carbon Fixation.…

    Isabel Johnson’s article “Bottled Water, Go Away” brings up a different perspective to an ongoing debate over the impacts of plastic water bottles on the world. She presents both the pros and cons of bottled water. Her reasons, however, do not provide a strong argument since she does not clearly support a single claim. Nonetheless, the reasoning behind her logic is supported using information obtained from research. Her credibility is built, but at the same time lost, from using these resources because they are not suitable to cite.…

    Cells in the leaves contain chloroplasts which captures energy from sunlight. Through a chemical reaction, sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide are combined to produce glucose, a sugar that provides most of the energy that plants use. A byproduct of this process is oxygen, which is essential for other organisms’ survival. This entire process is called photosynthesis, in which plant cells make…

    The environmental impact globally is enormous. “ Researchers have concluded that satisfying the annual global demand for bottled water consumes energy equivalent of about 160 million barrels of oil - up to 2,000 time the energy required to produce the equivalent volume of tap water.” (Jonathan Gornall, 1) Bottled water has a terrible impact on the environment, the bottled water can pollute the earth, According to the The Water Project “it takes over 1,000 years to biodegrade and if incinerated, they produce toxins fumes.” The lakes and springs are what the major bottled water companies use to produce water, soon the natural resources and fossil fuels will run out through the lakes and springs. In addition to bottled water polluting the earth.…
