Global warming potential

The way we neglect our ocean with heavy amounts of pollution can potentially affect our lives in a negative manner. Driving cars and the use of plastic is essential to our daily lives, but we use them without the concern for how they are affecting the habitats on Earth. Some people think that the chance that they are doing harm to the ocean is less important to them than cost or inconvenience of fixing a pollution problem. Through sources from researchers and scientists, they have found evidence…

“The Lorax” and the stories of Easter Island are alike even though one is based on true events and “The Lorax” is a kid’s story by Dr. Suess. Both of these stories involve someone that destroys their own environment and they don’t really care until it’s too late. Both stories show how easy an entire area can suffer if selfish people don’t care about the things around them and they are more worried about themselves. Everyone should care about their environment and do everything possible to…

The Human Rights Campaign represents a force of more than 1.5 million members and supporters nationwide. As the largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization, HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community.

Throughout The Nature of College Farrell argues that the everyday life of a college student impacts the environment whether they know it or not. Things such as using the bathroom, washing your hair and taking a shower all play a part in effecting the environment. Taking a shower, for example, is something that we all do and we probably don’t stop to think about its impact on the world around us. When we take a shower we use approximately 3 gallons of water per minute and since I am pretty sure…

Paul Hessburg studies wildfires and their effect on the land, especially the United States. Wildfire destruction has increased over the last 3 decades and will continue to get much worse in the next 3 decades. All of the destruction and death to wildlife could of been stopped if society would just look at the forests nowadays. Forests used to be like patchwork, unlike the thick and dense forests we have currently. The problem is that this huge population of trees in such a high density are much…

accepted species Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus, the Atlantic walrus, and Odobenus rosmarus divergens, the Pacific walrus. The environment these animals live in are harsh and require quite the adaptations in order to adjust due to many issues such as global warming. How do these animals anatomically and physiologically mature which will lead to their next adaptation? By examining characteristics such as skeletal structures as well as specialized systems within both species conclusions can be made…

In This Changes Everthing by Naomi Klein, Klein…

Park Ecology: Voyageurs National Park With the landscape being molded nearly a billion years ago, glaciers have proved to be a prominent impact on the topography of Voyageurs National Park. In addition to forming the rigid layers of the terrain, the glaciers have also helped in the formation of the mosaic-like rocks and minerals that exist in the present-day wildlife sanctuary. Years of snow and rain have also contributed to the erosion of the sediments, thus affecting the geological development…
