Many punishments which were implemented by the former President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff…

Oil Oil is kind of a drama queen. It can only withstand so much before it starts to become a hot mess. But we can't all live where the weather is always perfect or where we can avoid the normal wear and tear of the road and the everyday run around for work and family. Consider these common conditions that can make your oil breakdown faster: Do you often drive around in high temperatures? Extreme heat causes oil to breakdown resulting in sludge and deposits in the engine. High temperatures…

This era was the first big effect that humans had on the environment, what we now call Global Warming. Global warming is the average increase of Earth's surface temperature due to greenhouse gases that gather in the atmosphere and trap heat from the…

I bet while your reading these words, at least 20 volcanoes are erupting. That’s crazy! So how do volcanoes affect the environment? Well there are many ways actually, one way is that they create super rich soils after the molten lava rocks get weathered into a soil. Another way is how much they erupt, with this much erupting, they could create more mountains or volcanoes that take up space and destroy some of our places. Roughly, each year through the 90’s 60 Volcanoes erupt and there was about…

Communicating with various stakeholders is a critical component of managing a disease outbreak. Ineffectual communication between stakeholders and the outbreak management team can have severe consequences that can influence the success of the outbreak management strategy. For example, when CWD was discovered in 2002 in Wisconsin poor communication between the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and stakeholders greatly hindered the disease management efforts and had lasting negative…

Domestic environment issues that we are dealing with in the United States Climate Change, water pollution, and intensive farming. Climate change is affecting US population with rise of sea levels with States like Florida, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Which is causing displacement of people with homes and contamination of fresh water with sea water and sewage. With the contamination of sea water, it is affecting drinking water, plants that animals feed on and farming. Climate change…

Global warming. This topic or word has probably come up so many times over the past few months, maybe in daily conversations, on the media, at school or even at the workplace, and most of the time, it’s not always good things we hear. This might be true in some cases, especially considering the fact that from 1948 to 2013, the average annual temperature of Canada has increased by 1.6 degree Celsius (StatCan, n.d.). Resulting, in a much more rapid rate of melting at the northern ice caps. For…
