A world without clean water to drink is what we as a universe are approaching. In North Carolina and everywhere else in the world, there ultimately isn’t enough being done to help preserve our freshwater supply as day in and day out things are being done to further harm and damage our water through all types of pollution. At the current rate of pollution were going at as of right now it can easily be said that by a little over a decade that we will not have any reliable source of water…

1. Introduction This report will use data from the New Zealand Land Resource Inventory (NZLRI) to describe and subsequently assess seven sites in the area around Lincoln and the Port Hills in Canterbury, New Zealand.

Description of Study Area 2.1. Location, topography and boundaries The study area is…

Discuss the relationship between energy and society. The principle question to ask when examining the relationship between energy and society is whether society drive changes in energy or energy stimulates societal change. The most common answer is that as society innovates and grows more forms of energy are harnessed and so our use of energy changes. However, at a more fundamental level, every major change in human history has been caused by the availability of energy in its various forms. The…

Introduction The reintroduction of the Mexican Gray wolf into the southwestern United States has been a subject of large controversy in the past few decades. They first became protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1976; this species that had numbers in the thousands only a few decades earlier had become completely extinct in the United States (Southwest Wildlife). In 1960 the population dropped to seven, and yet there were still no efforts to implement their recovery as a species for 16…

peculiar buildings of London such as the Shard, Gherkin and Big Ben. Greenwich Park: I have a special love for nature and so on my many adventures I make sure that I visit a park. This led me on a tour of the Greenwich Park in London. It is an iconic grassland which is home to birds, deers and faxes and I had a beautiful quiet time here. The chirping of the birds made the place so calm and peaceful. It really helped me unwind and I had a lot of fun trying to identify the various creatures. Also…

“Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!” This quote from The Wizard of Oz, by Frank L. Baum, is a common phase that comes to mind when people think of a zoo. While zoos are exciting for people from age 1 to 100, they aren't always exciting or healthy for the animals. Circuses are the same way exciting for visitors but hell holes for many animals. Animals in zoos and circuses deserve the same rights and protections as animals living in the wild. All animals, not just domestic animals, should be…

run, eventually the United States will use up all of its natural resources it is currently exploiting to make economic gains; at that point what are we supposed to do? We will no longer be able to make money off of the resources such as wood, oil, grasslands, and water and it will be too late to protect them from ourselves. What I think this speaks further to is the white-collar corruption the is present in our country, particularly when the environment and economics are pitted against one…

Introduction Due to the ever growing population urban areas are predicted to grow by a significant amount in the near future due to the increasing human population. The housing built to deal with the expanding human population is likely to high-density, low- cost housing with small gardens. An experiment was done to see the effect this will have. In an experiment they used a questionnaire to analyse the factors affecting the use of gardens by a number of different mammals. They recorded 22…

I feel it is very important to set limits on the overgrazing to prevent any native grasslands from being endangered from replacing of invasive weeds. There are many steps that can be taken against the battle of soil erosion and overgrazing but analyzing and understanding the cause of why your land is in the conditions that it 's in first…
