Environmental justice

I can tell you without hesitation that I believe in biocentrism, and that my worldview is primarily one of Environmental Wisdom. However, I had very little opinion on the environment at all until I was about 12 or 13 and picked up a National Geographic for the first time. It’s astounding the impact that one’s environment can have on their environmental worldview as well as their environmental actions. I was raised in a very wasteful environment; I lived in the small town of Crosby, Texas until I…

to the environment. Since the USACE foresees possible environmental problems, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required. The EIS will look at the possible environmental impacts of the project and potential alternatives. The purpose of this project is to build a mine that will produce gold to sell over a 15-year period. The project covers over four thousand acres of land. With the large amount of land there were many environmental impacts for the USACE to look at. One of the…

The book, “Silent Spring”, by Rachel Carson brings to light the possible harm and ramifications of overusing chemicals that are not fully understood. To fully drive her point home, Carson uses language, ethos, and logos. Carson uses strong language several times in order giver her argument stronger emphasis. At one point she uses the word “evil” to describe pollution. There are very few words that have a more negative connotation than evil. Carson uses this word fairly early in her book,…

The book I will be reviewing is called ‘Silent Spring’ by Rachel Carson discussing the use of pesticides and why it’s so bad for not only plants but us too. Carson’s main goal is to tell us of the hidden dangers pesticides have on our ecosystem. Carson her main argument is that pesticides are way to lethal to be used and provides examples of how the use of pesticides can easily get out of hand and harm all living organisms. In the beginning of her book, Carson describes a town in the heart of…

“Environmental pollution is an incurable disease, it can only be prevented” once said by Barry Commoner, a former biologist and a founder of the modern environmental movement stated this quote back in the day 1900’s yet environmental problems still continues to be a huge problem, not only individually but it’s a social condition today. As humans we should see that we breath and survive because of the clean environment that we once had, but the question is that are we really living in a clean…

people consume natural resources at a faster pace and the negative effect on the nature is becoming more and more severe. Environmental issues, such as air pollution, water pollution, decreasing biodiversity, and deforestation have become prominent in many regions of China. In recent years, haze has become a popular term among Chinese people, especially in north China. The environmental problems can be harmful to residents, animals, and plants. For example, water pollution can cause many healthy…

students here. Investors and college staff who make rules in this school would also be affected by these issues if tackled properly because it can attract a new wave of college students to come to this school who care about STEM or are interested in environmental organizations or programs. Opponents to this would be people who are involved in the food industry, business majors who plan to go to the industries, and people who don’t care about the environment as much as they care about receiving…

condition of the environment has risen to the attention of psychologists in recent years, their curiosity concerning what personality traits entice a person’s awareness, concern, and intentions to act on environmental needs. An individual’s self-awareness, or self-construal, towards the environmental decay brought on heavily due to destructive human behaviors, could stem from how the individual views themselves and their actions in relation to others and the environment (Hinds & Sparks, 2008).…

What if there was an up and coming innovation that could save the world? Would you support it? Well there is such a thing. It has been around for a few years, but only now does it have the potential to do good on a worldwide scale. This innovation is called algae biofuel. Algae biofuel is a fuel just like gasoline or diesel, but instead of being mined from the ground causing irreparable damage, it is grown in a pond and actually has positive side effects on the environment. Algae Biomass…

As one who has been an external consultant in the past, experience would say that internal consultant 's would be able to make a better impact on a company then external consultants. An internal consultant may have limited perceptions and may be a part of the company already. They may add a different approach to how something is done because they have seen it done in the past and have applied the techniques themselves. They are also expected to have an in-depth knowledge on what the company…
