Lynn White Jr. offers an important assessment and critique of Western culture and its’ effects on the environment in “The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis”. Throughout the short essay he brings to light the ways in which Westerner’s anthropocentric lifestyles and suppositional inherent place at the top of the food chain has had a profound and disastrous affect on the natural world in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Because the timeline of the natural world is understood…

Coal Energy vs Wind Energy The United States alone burns more than a billion tons of coal every year, making up more than half of the electricity used in the US from coal power. However, burning fossil fuels also causes 78 percent of the United States global warming emissions, 32 percent being from coal. In order to combat these pollutants and hopefully cut down prices different cleaner, and renewable energy alternatives are being used instead. One of these newer and effective forms of…

land. Air pollution is the more concerning of the two for the time being because of the number of vehicles, factories, plants, boats, and plains. The main causes for it are the burning of fossil fuels, emissions from industries and manufacturing plants, as well as household and farming chemicals. The burning of fossil fuels stems from transportation, cars, planes, trains, and trucks. This is one of the major causes of air pollution and is probably the most difficult one to manage because of how…

It include littleness of the environmental load, consumption reduction of the fossil fuel, energy security, industrial development, job creation mainly. Then, there is the reduction effect of greenhouse gas discharges such as carbon dioxide. Also, the wind-generated electricity can anticipate improvement of the energy self-sufficiency…

The burning of fossil fuels for energy is still the world’s primary source of CO2 emissions. As a result, solar technology has become a primary candidate in the era of finding new ways to create emission free energy. Solar power harnesses the energy of the sun’s rays to generate electricity that is considered environmentally friendly, or “green,” due to the almost nonexistent emission of CO2 throughout the process. The electricity produced by solar farms can then be added to the grid and…

a process where the pH of ocean decreases as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration increases in the water from the atmosphere. Since industrial revolution, the concentration of CO2 has dramatically increased in our atmosphere due to the burnings of fossil fuels, deforestations, and many more actions that humans take to make our lives luxurious. About 30% of CO2 from the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, making marine life’s survival uncertain. It has huge impact in the regions where fishing and…

Hello Governor of Pennsyltucky, I am writing to you in regards of the Three Mile Island power plant closure. If you were to ask me Mr. Governor the power plant should not be shut down, for the same reasons it was opened. The power plant was opened up in order to offer a new form of electricity, along with other jobs. The nuclear power plant offers more benefits than just electricity and money. Nuclear power plants also offers multiple jobs for people, this is because they need people to mine…

Renewable Energy and You Every time a light comes on in a house energy is being used. There many different ways to get this energy. Whether it’s from burning fossil fuels or using renewable resources. Most homes get the energy from factories or utility companies that generate it. Majority of these companies use fossil fuels to generate the energy that is then sent to people’s homes. The bad part about this is that harmful chemicals are produced during this process. A way to slow down the release…

Electricity is made commonly from fossil fuels. But it can be made from many other things called alternate energy resources. We're going to tell you about an alternate energy resource called pumped storage. Pumped storage plants bring in water from a body of water, run it up a hill through tubes to a reservoir during the night. And then it releases the water downhill during the day through a series of tubes that have turbines inside them. When the water turns the turbines, that are connected to…

many can’t imagine this actually happening to them. Many people around the world have different preferences on what climate change is and if it’s affecting the world or not. Many people ask, what is climate change? Climate changing is the burning of fossil fuels and the uses of greenhouse gases that affect the world's atmosphere. Climate change causes temperatures around the world to keep rising and many of the predictions about climate change seem to be becoming higher than predicted. Like…
