instilled upon mankind: its mortality. Unfortunately, I think his use of the law of the conservation of energy provided a means by which Christians could effectively argue for the existence of God. Beyond his arguments against a Christian conceptualization of morality, Nietzsche countered one of Christianity’s most prominent beliefs on the origins of earth using scientific theory. He wrote: The law of the conservation of energy demands eternal recurrence (101). The strength of the argument is…
000 are left in the wild. Poaching across Africa can be decreased by legalizing ivory sales from conservations, tagging animals to track where poachers frequent, and by adding a highway to connect rural areas to…
The lack of people caring is not only affecting us humans in how we treat each other but also other environments around us. The lack of caring by humans is causing innocent lives that cannot talk or defend themselves to die. These beings are animals. Animals are being affected by us not caring about what happens to them our selfish acts are the cause of their deaths. Wildlife extinction has gotten worse because of pollution, but the lack of humans caring has been the biggest cause. Humans have…
This garden makes not only green space indoors but also environmental and enjoyable place, with having benches to relax surrounded by bamboo. This place, as shown in figure 3, also links between the historic building and new building while it is being openness.2 In addition, there are two or three-story winter gardens…

Extinction is necessary for the Earth’s natural order. It is used as the world 's way of weeding out the weaker species that are unable to adapt or evolve to environmental change thus consequently dying out to make room for the newer better-adapted species which is key in providing the earth with a more sustainable and better-equipped equilibrium. With five mass extinctions notched into the earth 's belt it can hardly be denied that evolution and extinction are anything but a necessary, yet dark…
education could open up a series of new opportunities and jobs. There are also classes in high school could be further prepare someone for their education. Some recommended classes that you could take in high school are biology, chemistry, algebra, environmental science, and english. Choosing a specific group to work towards may also be helpful. For example, some Wildlife Biologists choose to focus their…
needed to fix the energy crisis that had taken control of the nation. To get people involved in the energy conservation efforts, Carter asks that the American citizens “take no unnecessary trips, to use a carpool or public transportation whenever [they] can park [their] car one extra day per week, to obey speed limits, and set [their] thermostats to conserve fuel. Every act of energy conservation is more that common sense... It is an act of Patriotism” (10). Patriotism is embedded deeply in our…
number of research programs, in an effort to produce these technologies. At Congress’s 1975 request to evaluate the technology required to “make possible a new generation of fuel-efficient aircraft,” by the 1980s, NASA established the Aircraft Fuel Conservation Technology Task Force. In its report released during the 1975 Congressional Hearing, NASA outlined six programs in propulsion, aerodynamics and structure, all aimed to reduce fuel consumption without degrading the…
The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History is by Elizabeth Kolbert. Kolbert is an American journalist, observer, author, and staff writer at The New Yorker. The Sixth Extinction won the Pulitzer Prize in 2015; I chose this nonfiction book because I hadn’t heard of the concept of a sixth extinction. I had previously learned of multiple extinctions that occurred in the Cretaceous, Ordovician, Permian, and Triassic-Jurassic periods, but I became curious just by the thought of what Kolbert meant by…
