A current environmental issue in the Great Lakes region is the threat of Asian Carp invading the Great Lakes. Many environmentalists are very concerned about this threat and are seeking ways to prevent this from occurring. Asian carp are invasive fish from Southeast Asia that can cause harm the ecosystem, economy, property, and boaters. (National Wildlife Federation) They are filter-feeding fish and voracious eaters that consume plankton, algae, and other microscopic organisms which are the key…

There are some upsides to overfishing/ the pros of overfishing. In “6 Pros and Cons of Overfishing” by ‘Flow Psychology’ they have these pros that I will mention. It has created more job opportunities because “Since the aquaculture industry boom, numerous jobs have been made available to the people.” Provides new skills sets and “…training will be needed. As a result, people will have new sets of skills that can be added to their resume.” Help boost the economy with the “Exportation…

Applications of solar thermal and geothermal energies are integrated with the purpose of utilizing renewable resources in low-carbon, energy saving manners. Geothermal and solar thermal energies are both clean, renewable energies with a huge amount of resources that are viewed as sustainable sources of energy storage [4]. Solar thermal energy is recognized as one of the best long-term options for heating and cooling energy supply. It has benefits such as it always helps to reduce primary energy…

Over 500 billion tons of CO2 have been emitted into the atmosphere in the last two centuries. Beginning with the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels have mutated into horrendous, but common, problems like oil spills, air pollution, climate change, and global warming. Furthermore, unbeknownst to the majority of the world, another issue has emerged. The problem has been labeled as ocean acidification. Lying dormant for decades, only recent studies conducted by scientists have revealed this…

Dense non-aqueous phase liquids, also known as DNAPLs are chemicals denser than water, which do not typically dissolve into water. These toxic chemicals seep through the soil and find ways into groundwater depending on the physical chemistry of the substance(s). When the dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) have entered the groundwater they will continue to flow with it as a result of the hydrological cycle. There is no absolute way of knowing where the source of the DNAPLs is located, or if…
