would be a cultural and heritage reconnection within themselves in a talent art show of music, painting, weaving and jewelry. Also, the need for understanding sustainability principles is having the community to be educated of fracking, pollution of aquifers and the effects of trash on their lands. As I see the issues and complications, I find myself in an occupation in an environmental major. This occupation can give me the opportunity to make changes in my community, future generations and…

that are the most polluted are all in California and are all in every category of pollution. California in general has the most polluted water in the whole United States. As of October 2014, California has put billions of contaminated water into the aquifers and the water that is used for drinking and farming is now contaminated. (Mike Gaworecki). In February of 2015, 9 of those water sites all have been dumped with wastewater and other pollutants that have been given to the citizens. The…

The Cochabamba Water Collective (CWC) is by far what I consider to be one of the better suited proposals for this area and for the management of these water resources. Bolivia itself does not have an incredibly advanced or well established infrastructure and still has a long way to go before it becomes as economically stable as many larger countries such as the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom. So until Bolivia is able to develop and grow as an economy and country, then reinvestment…

The idea that Mars could be hospitable to human life is still under question, however the question of water on Mars is indubitably unambiguous. And with the new breaking scientific news, the long lasting question of water on Mars has finally been answered. “New findings from NASA’S Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars( Liquid Water para 1)”. According to this new theory, empirical data from NASA shows…

The water cycle is a process in which water travels from the oceans, to earth's atmosphere and land. There are many steps to the water cycle. Those steps are as follows: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Transpiration, Runoff, and Infiltration. I will walk you through step-by-step of how each of these things contribute to the water cycle. The first step of the water cycle is evaporation. Evaporation starts with water, absorbing the sun's heat, and turning into vapors. The water usually…

Fracking involves a high pressure injection of a fluid that is made up of water, sand and other proppants suspended with the aid of thickening agents which is more commonly known as fracking fluid. It is injected into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations so that natural gases and pretroleum can flow much more freely. Due to the fracking boom, the US has already surpassed Saudi Arabia in energy production and the US is on its way to becoming energy self sufficient. The amount…

different areas by many workers (Sonntag et al., 1978; Sultan et al., 1997; Sturchio et al., 2004; Patterson et al., 2005). The isotopic compositions of the Western Desert groundwater samples are similar over large areas and through various depths in the aquifer. δD and δ18O values range from -81 to -72‰ and from -1.9 to -10.6‰, respectively (Fig. 3). These waters show highest depletion in isotopic compositions compared to other areas in Egypt reflecting the paleowaters, which formed deposited…

(2012) while reporting on concerns from residents of Pennsylvania, touched on the same issues residents across the country are having; air quality issues due to excess heavy equipment use, damage to roadways due to increased hauling, and underground aquifer contamination as a result of the chemicals used in the process. These and many more are reasons communities are rising up against Fracking. The question then arises, if gas and oil companies had taken the time to address these issues openly…

Fracking has large impact on daily life for global consumers, it effects prices and availability of fuels for consumers. Fracking is an exceptionally complicated process. To start the process, a ten thousand foot well is drilled below the surface into shale layers. Next, 1 to 8 million gallons of water mixed with chemicals are injected into the well at extremely high pressures to crack the rock. This will allow the product to flow out once the water is mostly removed. This process is highly…

“With great power comes great responsibility.” As companies grow, so do their responsibilities. Companies have a constant decision as to whether or not they want to do right by their stakeholders, and this is what determines their social responsibility. Company’s stakeholders consist of their employees, customers, communities and investors. And it is their duty to perform in ways that are ethical to them, as they need one another to strive. Some companies strive to have relationships with their…
