He states that the earth is an ecosystem and demonstrates how human beings, industries, and other facilities pollute the earth which is a closed ecosystem.

Not only did I get to set two kinds of traps, but I got to learn about the job, what it requires, and all the different kinds of experiences it brings, along with play with some cute hound dogs. The first thing we did was visit a few of the ranches.…

    The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) is a national wildlife refuge in northeastern Alaska and is the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the United States. Created by Congress in 1980 with the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), this area is at the center of both economic and environmental controversy as it holds potential for the production of both oil and natural gas. The ANILCA’s most controversial piece was the decision to defer drilling and petroleum exploration in the coastal plain region of ANWR known as the 1002 area (Figure 1). Petroleum is a valuable economic resource that is used in everyday life from the generation of electricity to fueling transportation to making plastic and synthetic goods. Yet despite modern society’s reliance on petroleum, we are using this finite resource faster than it can be replenished and at the cost of damaging the environment and inducing anthropogenic warming of the Earth’s climate.…

    The recent protests in North Dakota has turned the world’s attention to the Standing Rock Sioux Nation reserve, where a section of the Dakota Access Pipeline will be built if approved. Native Americans argue that the proposed pipeline will damage their vital water sources and affect the whole reserve, making their water undrinkable and harming their health. Crude oil pipelines, usually buried underground, can easily contaminate water (“How Can You Identify Pipeline.”), which in turn toxifies the water sources communities rely on for consumption and daily life (Harris, Robbie). Water is the liquid of life, and they should be prioritized; however, unfortunately, oil remains crucial for a vast range of industries and both local and global economies,…

    The way we neglect our ocean with heavy amounts of pollution can potentially affect our lives in a negative manner. Driving cars and the use of plastic is essential to our daily lives, but we use them without the concern for how they are affecting the habitats on Earth. Some people think that the chance that they are doing harm to the ocean is less important to them than cost or inconvenience of fixing a pollution problem. Through sources from researchers and scientists, they have found evidence of pollution caused by the two essential commodities in our lives, plastic and burning fossil fuels. Environmentalists have found solutions to reduce the plastic waste in our ocean as well as attempting to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere…

    Polar Bear Habitat Loss

    Seal and polar bear hunting have long since been a popular pastime and cultural practice for Canada’s indigenous populations. However, as outlined by the newspaper article “Greenpeace side sweeps the Inuit,” if not properly controlled, it can also lead these species to even further endangerment (Sopuck R., 2007). When caught, polar bears can often be sold for large sums and can provide a source of income for Indigenous groups (Sopuck R., 2007). While this practice has been a long-held cultural practice, in recent years with the introduction of more sophisticated weapons, tribes risk hunting the species at a rate faster than they can reproduce (Sopuck R., 2007). This has created an interesting problem for Canadian lawmakers.…
