Genetic pollution

Every day we hear on the news about how many health problems we have as humans. When we find a cure for one health problem there are three more health issues that pop up. People have become ignorant about politics and what is happening around them. Worst of all people have become ignorant about what is in the food they are putting in their bodies. I have been looking at the pros and cons to using pesticides and what I have found in my research surprised me. Now the bad side of pesticides…

Once upon a time there was a large ship and then it disappeared. That ship was in the Bermuda triangle, it’s a large area stretching from Puerto Ricco to an island called Bermuda and then all the way to Miami Florida. In the Bermuda triangle many ships disappear without a trace. Even though there are several theories to prove the disappearances, like methane gas, submerged energy spheres, or a secret government the Bermuda triangle is still a mystery, and a very mysterious mystery at that. The…

Their journey beings as they are collected at the curb and thrown into the back of a truck. They are then sorted at a factory, broken into pieces, washed, melted, and finally converted into a raw material that can be molded. The K-Cup goes through a long recycling process. However, there are many errors in the recycling process for K-Cups due to their small size. K-Cups have proven to be a major contributor in the generation of plastic waste. Even The New York Times has reported that K-Cups are…

in a vacuum there is no air resistance at all, because there is no air. If I were in an evacuated chamber and dropped a feather and a bowling ball at the same instant, both would hit the level ground at the exact same time. That should give you a clue. However this is completely different than what we experience in everyday life, and that is due to air resistance. Air resistance is simply air particles getting in the way of whatever is trying to move. There is Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon…

own water in REUSABLE GLASS BOTTLES, sell it to guests, and donate 10 percent of the proceeds to support clean water projects," explains Sonu Shivdasani, co-founder of Whole World Water and chairman of Soneva Resorts. Benefits are far-reaching: no pollution; no toxins created from manufacturing plastic; and funds going to solve a problem plaguing the world's poor.” This is a great idea but some people may disagree about my argument. People might say that we need to keep water bottle for…

Research Paper Pollution is a problem, and the everyday third grader could grasp that concept. However, what the effects of specific pollutants are, seems to be less clear. Each individual pollutant has a different effect on a different aspect of the ocean and the organisms that live in it. One important type of pollutant is an Endocrine disruptor, or to be more specific: Diethyl Phthalate. Said compounds and their results on the live marine organisms need to be studied so that the level at…

Let's Modernize Our Pollution Laws Critique In "Let's Modernize Our Pollution Laws" (8 October 2015), Gregg Easterbrook argues that the environmental laws are too outdated to do any help now. He feels that laws need to be modernized to accommodate the change in carbon emissions. At the conclusion of the article, he asks for a compromise between the two political parties to reduce carbon emissions from power plants. While Easterbrook makes some good points in his article, he fails to acknowledge…

My topic is littering. How does it make the world a worse place. And one of them is littering. I am going to tell you why is littering is bad and how it makes earth worse than what it was. Littering is bad because it makes an area look ugly, it is expensive, and sometimes hard to clean, and harmful to people, plants, and animals, it is also bad because it is illegal, people who litter can be fined or charged, littering also causes plotted water, and it can clog storm drains. And…

the last several years research has proven that fish, shellfish, and crabs in the Virginia and Maryland bays and rivers have shown positive for containing harmful toxins (Horton, 2003). Since the bay runs throughout six states: Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia, many people on the east coast are affected each year. One of the thousands of pathogens affecting humans throughout the bay is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also known as ALS. When ALS enters in…

When we were younger we were always told to clean up our messes. As we got older, it still holds true, for us individuals. But what about us as a collective, or the human race. Does that simple rule of cleaning up messes still hold true? Oceans take up a large portion of the earth’s surface, and were once seen as an all-encompassing, limitless reservoirs, quite able to bear the brunt of the human race. This, however, is not true as is becoming increasingly apparent. Over a few decades, humans…
