Day 1:
We gave the pesticide a name, Katil Su. It's been 14 hours since me and my group moved out of Istanbul and the CDC announced the destruction of the world. They said that all the seas, oceans, rivers and lake are undrinkable due to pesticides from years ago that spread everywhere without being detected. Kyle, Hayden and Jared are the last friends I have on the earth and us being in the same group makes things much simpler. Along the way we have been building a mass number of members in case we run into any situations... We’re hoping to walk near the Black Sea all the way up to the Caucasus Mountains then walk around, but beside them for shelter at nights all the way until we get to the Caspian Sea. From there we will head south to the

There were no tracks leading away from camp except to Jareds tent, but we already looked and there was nothing there... We didn’t pay much attention to it since we had already had a rough night with our meal, all we had was cans of fruit and a couple bottles of water to feed 180 people. Jared came up with a great idea to get some more clean water instead of boiling the lake water a couple times we could lay out bottles and buckets when it rains even though it’s not to common. As I am writing this we are headed to the end of the Black Sea and while I was talking to Jared not to long ago he told me he would find us some meat tonight! I am stoked yet afraid of what he will find since most animals are full of pesticide water. One of our members found some fish laying on the shore and tried to cook it, but there was just too much contamination and now we are carrying a sick. We are searching for gas in cars to maybe get a couple RVs going for a few miles and any type of hospital or school hoping to gather …show more content…
Yesterday Jared killed Hayden. I am not for certain but the way things played out all the clues point to Jared. It was a cool afternoon when Hayden was asked to be seen in Jared’s tent and Jared had a real serious face which was not very normal. Everyone was minding there own business most of the day, but I was supposed to go search for non-contaminated vegetation with Hayden so I was waiting for him to be done with Jared. He never came out,then again I only waited half an hour. I ended up going alone thinking that they were talking about some serious stuff. I walked the edge of the lake back and forth and side to side yet I couldn’t find anything for miles.. I came back to camp after about 3hrs and I was very curious what Jared had said to him, but he was nowhere to be found… That night we did have meat like he said and it didn’t taste like anything I’ve had before. Jared said it was a new recipe and I wondered where Hayden

    Silent Spring written by Rachel Carson was the spark to a great controversy over the use of pesticide ever since it was published in 1962. This novel was a great influence over the abuse of chemical insecticides and succeeded in banning some dangerous chemicals such as DDT from the United States. Even though Silent Spring chastised the use of these chemicals, Carson never intended that all of the pesticides should be banned, instead the use of them should be controlled to prevent harm to the ecosystem. “‘It is not my contention that chemical insecticides should never be used,” she wrote. “I do contend that we have put poisonous and biologically potent chemicals indiscriminately into the hands of persons largely or wholly ignorant of their potential for harm...…

    Pesticides can do many things that make human’s lives easier. They can kill unwanted bugs, which are called insecticides, they can kill unwanted plants, which are called herbicides, and they can kill fungi, which are called fungicides. There are many more pesticides out there as well, each with a different job. These pesticides are meant to help make human lives better, but do these pesticides really make our lives better? In Silent Spring, written by Rachel Carson, pesticides are examined and shown how pesticides cause environmental issues far worse, than the pests humans are trying to kill.…

    The Allied Forces initially researched chemical warfare with defensive intentions: largely due to the fact that various Allied Nations signed the 1899 Hague document, which states in Article 23 “it is especially prohibited:--To employ poison or poisoned arms;” ( Bevans, 256). However, when World War One came to a stalemate, the Allied nations resorted to using chemicals offensively. Since America wanted to end the war quickly, they did not let a late start in chemical production slow them down: resulting in America producing 100 tons of chemicals a day while Germany only made 50 tons (Ede, 128). After the first use of chlorine gas in 1915, the study of chemical weapons resulted in a great number of advancements, which in turn led to the invention…

    Toxic pesticides are commonly used throughout the world to rid gardens and large scale farms of pests that will damage their produce. Farmers spread pesticides by planes either in a form of spray or dust, but as a result, the particles often “drift” or spread through the air after applied to the crops. This drift is simply defined as the unintentional airborne movement of chemicals to a non-target area. It is proven that 95%-98% of applied pesticides miss their target, reaching nearby people and wildlife, waterways, soil and air (Miller GT). These toxic clouds are carried by the wind and deposited in places such as nearby homes, schools, and playgrounds.…

    Farmers have been leaders in food for centuries. Without the production of agriculture, people would have ceased to exist. The food that farmers produce is heavily based on the geographical area they occupy. For example, farmers in Asia produce rice, farmers in South America produce coffee, and farmers in Idaho produce potatoes. Farming and agriculture brought man out of the age of hunting and gathering, and allowed civilizations to flourish because they no longer had to move around constantly and gather berries and fruits.…
