Deep ecology

Broadly known as the father of “The Land Ethic,” Aldo Leopold brought to light a ever growing problem in the mistreatment of the environment, in his main work ‘Sand County Almanac’ (1947) he talks about the ecosystem as a member of a larger community that should be enlarged to include non-human elements such as soils, waters, plants, and animals or collectively the land, and that all forms of life are valuable. In his concept, land Ethic reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and…

Of the many human actions that are endangering ancient natural habitats, like deforestation, pollution, releasing invasive species and replacing the woods to build woods of infrastructures, bear - hunting is one of the many, that falls into also one of the many parts that goes into answering the question, "What damages and ecosystem?" My point of view on the subject is that bear - hunting should be illegal in states with more than fifty to one - hundred bear attacks each year. If bear - hunting…

1. What is the calm waters environment in the first place? The term itself is a metaphor that dominated the thinking of practising managers and academics in terms of handling change. Basically the calm waters view of organizational change envisions the organization as a large ship crossing a calm sea. The ship's captain and crew know exactly where they are going because they have made the trip many times before. Change comes in the form of an occasional storm, a brief distraction in an otherwise…

In Crimes Against Nature, Jacoby argues that the history of the Conservation Movement has two sides. One of Jacoby ultimate goals for this study is to help erase the current boundaries between social and environmental history. Jacoby believes the United States needs a social history that is attuned to rural life and the ecological relationships that shape and sustain it. According to the article, Crimes Against Nature by Karl Jacoby: Social History of People in the Environment, written by Dan…

For billions of years, nature has dictated the survival and appearance of a species. However in Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods suggests that know we– human beings– are the ones changing the face of nature. Louv introduces the article with a study about controlling the color of butterfly wings then moving on to show the comparison between parks and advertising. Then, Louv transitions into a hypothetical example of a mother who did not want to buy backseat entertainment for her child and…

Geography of “Stuff” March 1st Leila Chapa Geography-140-001 Dr. Joni Palmer As markets grow worldwide, the pressure on natural resources continues to grow as well. This is causing many companies to look at different ways of developing their product. For many producers, by just looking at the life cycle of their product, they learn that they can reduce operating costs, including lowering their energy consumption and raw material use. Recycling alone does not look at the big…

Good afternoon/Good morning today I will be present a multimodal presentation and photocopy about sustainability in Ferny Hills. Sustainability is when we look after the land so it the same or better for the next generations. To do this we use energy from renewable sources they include solar panels and hydroelectricity. To get water in a sustainable way we can use desalination plants which take the salt out of sea water we will also need to be more conservative when it comes to using water. We…

The public's attention has recently been caught by species introduction and its resultant biotic invasions which are major components of global change. The last few decades have seen substantial advancements in invasion ecology which are succinctly summarised in this book. The deliberate or accidental introduction of organisms into a new ecosystem may cause the onset of a biological invasion. These so-called 'exotic species' may establish, spread and ecologically alter the invaded community.…
