Genetic pollution

Ever since humans have started polluting causing the ozone layer to become thinner, allowing more UV rays from the sun to come. This correlates directly into stronger UV rays entering earth's atmosphere and harming living things all over. Some creatures that are the most susceptible to these UV rays are amphibians. There are three kinds of UV rays, UV-A, UV-B, UV-C. The kind that hurts the amphibians the most is UV-B because Most molecules do not absorb the higher UV-A wavelengths and most of…

After reading Silent Spring, I see even more that humans in years past and today have had a powerful and also negative effect on the natural world that we live in. Rachel Carson mainly argued that pesticides have an adverse effect on our environment. She said that they are properly termed as “biocides” since their effects were hardly limited to targeting the pests. Carson spoke a lot about DDT as a prime example as well as other synthetic pesticides several that are subject to bioaccumulations.…

Weisman starts his book off with humans having vanished unexpectedly and…

The Student Housing office is located in the somewhat beige colored building across the street from the southern dorms and adjacent to the music department building. Also, it is on the upper floor of the maintenance department. I observed that the exterior of the building seems to be kept well maintained being that I smelled the aroma of the freshly trimmed grass. Keeping the grass tamed regularly really has an impact on the overall appearance of the exterior. For example, I noticed that the…

The Anthropocene Extinction refers to the nature of human effects on the environment causing what scientists are calling the sixth mass extinction. The collision between civilization and the planet’s ecosystem has resulted in the rapid loss of biodiversity and current extinction crisis (Wake and Vredenburg 2008). The socio-environmental issue of how human behaviors impact biodiversity is addressed in the documentary Racing Extinction which I’ve chosen to analyze (Racing Extinction 2015). The…
