Earth First!

All individuals are to blame for their own harmful actions despite their political affiliation,class, ethnicity and so on. Author of Putting Earth First, Dave Foreman, believes there “must be an effort to go beyond the tired, worn-out dogmas of left, right, and middle-of-the-road” (Foreman, 351). Suggesting perhaps we should not be too quick to blame evil corporations, for no one should be immune from questioning (Foreman, 351). When the topic of discussion is land ethics, why can’t any human be questioned and confess to their lack of environmentalism? Well, as discussed in Aldo Leopold’s, A Sand County Almanac, the first ethic dealt with the relation between the individuals and society. The integration of democracy and social organization of the individual is important, but doesn’t mean entailing privileges without obligations (Leopold, 1948).

For “obligations have no meaning without conscience, and the problem we face is the extension of the social conscience from people…

It has been theorised that the first organisms on earth had been autotrophs and were able to synthesise organic compounds from inorganic material in the surrounding environment (Morowitz et al. 2000). In the ecosystems surrounding these hydrothermal vents, the organisms living within these ecosystems are based around bacterial processes and has been suggested by Baross and Hoffman to be “analogous, physiologically and biochemically, to the earliest group of…

Humans, as they are today, have existed for a mere 50,000 years, while the Earth is around 4.54 billion years old. Why, then, have humans disregarded the planet they live on and have chosen to send it to ruin by means of pollution, climate change, and mining deep below the surface? Because of mankind’s actions of destruction, the Earth has awakened from a tranquil slumber and sought restitution towards humanity for disturbing its once-peaceful state. In Auscultation, Steven Church is presenting…

heavens and the earth ….” (King James Version, Genesis 1:1). The Bible clearly identifies who created the world and how it was formed. No one knows when the earth was created or what it could have looked like. There are many ideas of what it was like based on what is written in the Bible. Christians believe the Bible, the story of creation, and that God created the world in seven literal days. However, evolutionists continue to believe that there is evidence that the universe and the earth took…

with the idea or theory of a geocentric universe. The literal definition of geocentrism is having the earth as the center of the universe and the at the other celestial objects orbiting the earth. Theses celestial objects are called planets. The word planets were invented by the Ancient Greek, the Greek were the first to recognize and name the solar system in space.

I will be looking at the Apache, Navajo, and Iroquois creation myth and legend stories. One of the first American Indian creation I read was the…

The moon we see only orbits around Earth. As the moon orbits our planet, we see that the shape of the moon changes throughout each month. This is because the amount of light that the sun that illuminates the moon changes monthly. These are called the phases of the moon. The phases of the moon are the changes in amount of moon…
