Entitled Americans: How our Excessive Food Waste Contributes to Climate Change Briana Clementz Denver South high school Spring 2017  Abstract How large of an impact does the food we waste have on the environment? Or better yet, how much food do we actually waste annually? According to Ira Flatow of NPR, we waste approximately 33 million tons of food in the United States every single year.

The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) are endangered due to accelerated climate warming, which is affecting sea ice thickness which polar bears rely on for finding food and mates (Elvin 2014). An approach to help support polar bear subpopulations is the Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) methodology. This method is used for assessing, monitoring, and managing ecosystems as well as taking into account of human activities; fishing, pollution, ecosystem health, etc (Elvin 2014). There are seventeen arctic…

Global Warming: A Natural process or a Self-Inflicted Wound? One of the biggest issues that today’s world is facing is global warming, a topic of concern to almost every human being in the globe; we have seen its effects on the crops and lands, we have experienced the scorching heat and thermal discomfort and, more often than not, we have blamed the industrialized nations for it (conveniently disregarding the fact that we use most of the products these demonized countries generate). But what is…

1. Thesis “He does this by considering a number of ways that you might criticize taking a joyride in a gas-guzzling vehicle. Ultimately, he concludes that none of them is satisfying.” (447, Sinnott-Armstrong) 2. Support for Thesis “…it is still not clear what moral obligations regarding global warming devolve upon individuals like you and me.” (448,Sinnott-Armstrong) There is a very high chance that global warming will only increase over the years. We also don’t know how fast or how much of…

Analysis of NASA Article The first article I chose to analyze is titled “NASA STUDYING 2015 El Nino As Never Before,” by Kasha Patel. The article explains what the weather pattern known as El Nino is, the effects it has on the climate, why NASA wants to study it, and how NASA plans on studying it. Now NASA has advanced satellites that can monitor more aspects of the weather pattern such as sea level and sea surface temperature. The reason NASA is so interested in the weather pattern this year…

Ever since the industrial revolution in the late 18 hundreds, Humans have valued coal and other fossil fuels above any other mined good. Mined fuels help to produce the power that runs all our lives. Electricity for cooling, lighting, heating and entertainment, as well as the fuel that powers cars, trucks and aeroplanes all originate from rich seams in the earth. Fossil fuels consist of the remains of flora and fauna that, millions of years ago, were subjected to immense heat and pressure.…

I bet while your reading these words, at least 20 volcanoes are erupting. That’s crazy! So how do volcanoes affect the environment? Well there are many ways actually, one way is that they create super rich soils after the molten lava rocks get weathered into a soil. Another way is how much they erupt, with this much erupting, they could create more mountains or volcanoes that take up space and destroy some of our places. Roughly, each year through the 90’s 60 Volcanoes erupt and there was about…

Global warming. This topic or word has probably come up so many times over the past few months, maybe in daily conversations, on the media, at school or even at the workplace, and most of the time, it’s not always good things we hear. This might be true in some cases, especially considering the fact that from 1948 to 2013, the average annual temperature of Canada has increased by 1.6 degree Celsius (StatCan, n.d.). Resulting, in a much more rapid rate of melting at the northern ice caps. For…

The devastation of deforestation for Palm oil creation could be diminished as the "consumers" have a lot of pressure and power on the stockholders and governments if they demand them to clean up throughout the supply chain of the production to have a sustainable system. It's a Sustainable solution because it's taking the thoughts of individuals, profit, and the planet. According to Greenpeace, the fire that was brought on because of deforestation in 2015 added to the seriousness of spending…
