For acknowledging in its Integrated Management System Policy that sustainable development is one of the foundations of its wood and pulp production activities, CENIBRA develops a number of actions aiming at protecting the existing natural resources of its lands, as well as enhancing the environmental awareness among its employees and the communities. By adopting operating practices based on procedures derived from standards ISO 9001-2008 and 14001-2004, and an extensive natural resource…

Cancer Villages In China: A Terrifying Phenomenon What is Where? Cancer villages in China is a phenomenon where certain areas are highly populated with cancer patients. Cancer villages is an unfortunate issue occurring in China, and we must put an end to this concern before the circumstances become unavoidable. There are approximately 459 cancer villages across 29 of China’s 31 provincial units, with the two exceptions being Tibet and Qinghai. The two largest cancer villages are Hebei and…

The bottles in the water represent a school of fish but instead they are bottles because of how much pollution is in the waters. The deer same class conception. As we pollute the environment, animals on land and in the ocean both suffer from human behavior. I think these ads can cover any age group that can fully understand the problem with pollution because it affects all ages. The “Deer” advertisement is a magazine ad for the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and it is for public interest that…

The attainment of framework of sustainable construction principles is implemented through legislation, policies and strategies (i.e. methods, building tools and construction practices). Legislation and policy were introduced by construction organisation, and the governments worldwide to control the impact of construction activities on society and the environment. It is a minimum requirement and compliance of construction firms to follow professional and industry codes of practice and guidelines…

Along with general human life quality, the amount of humans present on Earth has been increasing. In order to provide a satisfactory quality of life to the billions of people present in the world, humans began polluting their own planet, therefore causing many problems to other species of life. One such example reflected by this is the decreasing biodiversity of organisms within an environment, especially lichen. Scientists characterize environmental changes through the research of various…

Environmental justice is very ambiguous term as it denotes the need for not only environmental sustainability but also social liberation. Regrettably, not every citizen, politician or business owner is apprehensive about our wilting global environment. To this very day, there are scholars and politicians that contend that climate change and global warming is the rhetorical vehicle for which liberal propaganda can be transported. Consequently, these same leaders in their lofty positions deny that…

In 1962, noted biologist Rachel Carson published her book Silent Spring that told of the different effects poisons, such as parathion, have on the ecosystem. Soon after being published, her book gained the attention of the American public and helped to transform their attitudes towards the environment. In the excerpt Carson advocates for the ban of parathion by describing the farmers’ use for the poison as warlike, by faulting the ignorant public, and the negligent government for the poison’s…

In my expert reports for the Fox and Kalamazoo matters, submitted in 2009 and 2015 respectively, I concluded that the weight of evidence prior to the time when NCR eliminated the substance from the paper did not indicate potential environmental hazards posed by the Aroclor 1242 in NCR CCP. I found that it was not credible to suggest that a company such as NCR had sufficient knowledge to be concerned about using a substance such as Aroclor 1242 in its CCP, especially in the absence of…

In this lab, an experiment was done in order to test how the abiotic factor of temperature affects a Tenebrio molitor’s activity level. Both experiments conducted consisted of two separate treatment trials; one in a warm environment (25 C) and one in a relatively cold environment (14 C). Results obtained from these experiments both showed a higher level of T. molitor activity in warmer environments as opposed to the cold environment where less activity occurred. In this case, the activity level…

Is our past history of destruction foreshadowing our future? Wright used archeological evidence to predict that our civilization will also end in turmoil. Wright is saying that often the trouble and problems in a society are due to the social structure. When people in a civilization are not working well together and the majority of the people in a society are being ruled by a few people. All the power is being concentrated and not everyone has an equal say. Wright provided the example of Easter…
