technology in order to communicate with the astronauts. Thus, they made satellites to enable long distance communication. The satellites have also led to ways for us to make better weather forecasts, detect oil spills, detect forest fires, detect aquifer depletion, and locating where aircraft have crashed (Fowler). Also, many soccer fans are grateful for the technology which allowed them to have “recently watched the World Cup matches from Brazil in near real-time via satellite feed” (Fowler).…

ecosystems. Ecosystems that rely on watersheds are damaged when excessive water is removed because in ecosystem deaths occur. This process can kill fish, frogs, black hawks, trees, etc. Although precipitation can quickly replenish surface sources, aquifers can take years to recover from the excessive water removal (qtd. in Sevigny 5). Plastic waste can also cause harm to coral reefs in the bottom of the ocean by causing infectious diseases. When individuals dispose of plastic or garbage in…

the ecosystem health. The effects caused by the producers of meat include toxic chemical residues in the food chain, pharmaceutical additives in animal feeds, polluting chemicals and animal wastes from feedlot runoff in waterways and underground aquifers, causing the loss of topsoil (Fox 71). The loss of topsoil affects the production of plants. Adopting a vegetarian diet, you are going to stop supporting those businesses who produces food degrading our planet health. Another benefit is the…

Poverty in Africa Has one ever thought about all the poverty that goes on around the world? From killings to diseases to starvation, there are plenty of factors that cause poverty to occur. Africa has one of the highest poverty rates in the world, considering that they are also one of the poorest countries in the world. It is not there that they live in poverty; it is their economy and environment. Africa is a country living in extreme poverty. Extreme poverty is defined as living…

drilling into the ground and shooting water mixed with over 700 different kinds of chemicals to break down the ground. Cement walls would also be put into place underground as they are digging so the substances will not potentially go into a stream or aquifer. The used substances would not be used again and would be dumped at evaporation ponds so it can evaporate into the air. These ponds can be found away from any civilization but can run the risk of seeping into a riverbank or even into our…

World and American History Ms. Privolos Fall 2015 Did the Industrial Revolution improve the public water service? During the Industrial Revolution, the pollution of public water was a silent slayer which was not known to people even at late 1800s. Before the Industrial Revolution and even these days, water’s major usage is for daily water supply, a sweet dew between every so often in a day. Before the Industrial Revolution, people drank water in form of beer and wines. Beer and wine…

Suburban Sprawl The term sprawl intends to extend with an absence of thought. When I picture a canine sprawling on a lounge chair: paws on every one of the pills, one foot toward the end of the love seat and one on the inverse end of the sofa, face down in the cushions. The meaning of urban sprawl is the same as the pooch: an unkempt, uncontrolled and un-directed method for creating ranch land. Reid Ewing, in his article, "Is Los Angeles Style Sprawl Desirable", characterizes sprawl as low…

In Plan B 4.0, it is said that” Both soil erosion and aquifer depletion reflect an emphasis on current consumption at the expense of the next generation.”(pg.32) Tobias understood that if he were to take more than he needs from his land that it would affect the next generations of the MacIveys. He was always…

pipeline is a step in the wrong direction. The pipeline will harm people, the wilderness, and the climate. The pipeline will be transporting crude oil, known as one of the dirtiest oils. The pipeline also crosses over the Mississippi river, the Ogallala Aquifer, Yellowstone, and stretches through six states. Deforestation is another unsustainable action, which will occure. Tar sands are found in the Boreal forests, Alberta. The forest is destroyed to extract the oil. Wastewater and pollution are…
