Fuel efficiency

They have a lot of concerns about the environmental impacts the pipeline could cause. They argue that fossil fuels should be kept in the ground and that man-made climate change would be a result of the pipelines (Worland). They think the pipeline should not be built, because there are many environmental problems associated with it. They argue that “the pipeline would perpetuate fossil fuel production” (BBC). I am interested in the North Dakota pipeline because I believe that the Native…

They can also build up in the soil and reduce soil quality, making in harder for organisms to survive there. Using chemicals and fossil fuels, as well as other things, can lead to pollution. The pollution is dangerous for all living things on Earth. It can contaminate the air or water, making it unhealthy to consume. If humans don't reduce their impact on the environment, there can be some…

Long ago, in the earlier stages of the nineteenth century, countries continued to look for new types of energy to power their cities. Tom Goodwin and Charles Dickens wrote about the consequences of fueling London, England, with coal on the Earth and its people. However, they achieve this is different ways; the different uses of logos and pathos, as well as sentence structure. In Tim Goodwin’s passage, he utilized a great deal of statistics. He states, “deaths from respiratory disease tripled.”…

Energy is never created or destroyed but is always being transferred. The sun provides all the energy and stores it in plant life. In this essay I will present my own personal food web I created myself. Energy Transfer is such an amazing thing and is a need for human life to continue. A Energy Pyramid shows the different stages of energy transfer starting with the sun to plants. Please enjoy this essay and all the amazing things our atmosphere provides. The Sun is the source of our energy and…

There is no doubt that humans have influenced the environment. The evidence of our meddling can be found everywhere from anthropology to mathematics. No society is free of this burden, though some have a distinct impact apart from the whole. The current geological age is the Holocene, the time after the last Ice Age. The geologic period is typically determined by the largest influence on the Earth. Until the 1800’s, human impact on the planet had been relatively low- stable even. Around the time…

The polar bears are a fascinating species that are able to survive under extreme conditions that most animals would not be able to live in. By the end of the century, two-thirds of the world’s polar bear population could disappear. The polar bear population should be conserved. Polar bears are endangered due to global warming or Earth’s change in climate. Another key role in their endangerment is pollutants that are toxic and damaging to a polar bear’s body. A big cause is illegal hunting, where…

Jose Padilla Debate and Speech Period 4 Ms. Douglass The meaning of Deforestation “is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses.” Permanent, millions of acres of rainforests permanently destroyed, and we can’t replace those millions of acres as fast as we destroy them. We as humans take rainforests for granted, we only think of them a resources for paper but they are useful for so many other things. They are homes for many species, they keep…

is largely shaped by human-caused geoengineering rather than nature itself. For instance, in order to produce energy that enhances the welfare of citizens and drives the world’s economy, most nations, especially developing ones, rely on carbon-rich fuels, such as gas, coast and oil, which directly correlates…

In the excerpt Key Readings In Journalism, chapter 22, it talks about a woman named Rachel Carson. Although Carson was not a journalist, she was widely considered to be an conservationist and was worried about the damage being done to the environment with the use of pesticides and released a book about DDT and her findings were astounding. Although she faced major backlash from the chemical industry, she stood by her work. The use of DDT came under stricter regulation from the government.…

7 Hacks to Combat Freezing Office Syndrome Do you often find yourself shriving at the office? Have you seen fights break out over the thermostat? Unfortunately, many suffer with this problem and are left to battle freezing office temperatures. While finding that “perfect” temperature that everyone can agree upon is difficult, there is an underlying reason why there is a difference in temperature preference between men and women. According to a study published in the journal Nature Climate…
