Chesapeake Bay

I have a dream of a future where humans take care of the environment. A society that takes pride in keeping the air clean, our natural habitats untouched, and our oceans free of pollution. It is time to become more educated about how our environment is damaged by contamination caused by fracking, oil drilling, and raw sewage. The pollutants leak into the land, enter the water systems, and air at nearby sites. I believe we can do better for our environment. The Chesapeake Bay is the third largest estuary in the United States. It was formed about ten thousand years ago when a glacier melted and flooded the Susquehanna River valley. Its waters run throughout the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West…

When you first pull an oyster out of the Chesapeake Bay it looks like nothing at all, but as you turn it over in your hand, the dusty green slime falls away and you are left with a misty grey shell. It is rough to the touch, with ripply layers that reflect the water it came from, and it sits in your hand in such a way that makes it feel ancient. If you were to stick a shucking knife in that oyster and pry it open, you would find a thick salty slime surrounding a tan leathery lump. The contents…

The nation’s water is in jeopardy to 10,000 miles of Maryland streams affected by the polluting industries that carved loopholes in the Clean Water Act.1 "Save the Bay"…

There are many reasons why differences occurred in the settlements, but two of the major grounds for why the colonies were completely different are: the reasons to leave England, and their politics. The causes for…

The first two colonies established in the new world were The Chesapeake bay colonies, and The Massachusetts bay colonies. They were very similar but also different in their own individual ways. A similarity between the colonies was the hopeful realization intrinsic to them. One of the primary similarities between the English founding of colonies in both the Chesapeake and those at Massachusetts Bay represents a belief that happiness lies outside of one's established home. Both settlements …
