Undoubtedly, The Scottish Nationalist Party today dominates Scottish Politics in an impressive, and to some, even unthinkable way when compared to the party’s grassroots standing a mere 10 years ago. As of 2015, the SNP party is by in large the biggest political party in Scotland in terms of membership, reporting over 112,000 members, or more than 2% of the Scottish population (Scottish Parliament, 2015). But, this domination is perhaps not much of a surprise when the parties leaders, plans and goals are studied systematically, and I will argue that while there are undoubtedly a multitude of reasons to why individuals vote the way they do, perhaps we can classify these instances into 3 main categories: a push for national independence, a trend…

The Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s most heavily-used water source, is home to a variety of fish and a supplier of over 70% of the drinking water in metro Atlanta; it was also ranked number three on America’s ‘most endangered’ list. Each day, more than 250 million gallons of sewage waste water is dumped in to river, so news that the river is constantly contaminated with E. coli is no surprise. Even with the vast amount of contamination, Georgia allows the dumping of waste to continue; they give out permits to dump in the waters. Without proper laws and regulations, the continued dumping of waste on the Chattahoochee River will eventually cause it to become too contaminated for human use and wildlife survival. The Chattahoochee River begins in the northeast of Georgia and continues down 524 miles to Apalachicola Bay, Florida.…
