Developed countries bleed food waste, while the rest of the world cries of hunger. In an increasingly globalized world, the loss of food waste contrasted with millions of people suffering from hunger is a painful paradox. This enormous wastage exists at the same time as one billion people in the world are suffering and dying from hunger. The act of food waste looks normal in our society; it seems that the people are forced to throw out what is no longer useful. Everybody can see how people have…

crimes that are affecting the environment (Lynch & Stretesky, 2013). Lynch and Stretesky (2013) argue that “population density forces waste materials to amass and cluster in proximity to population center, producing high waste volumes and elevated levels of exposure to waste products” (p. 627).

There should be one high official and one deputy with just enough workers to meet the…

After working in the French Creek Watershed I began to hike around the lakes and streams. This means by having cleaner streams I would personally benefit from aesthetically pleasing clean streams. Even on a short weekend walk behind the cemetery I would pick up any bottles or small objects I saw I felt an obligation to give back to the area I was able to enjoy. I also understood it was vital to keep the area clean so it would stay enjoyably and inhabited by the animals I always hope to see.…

Most people don’t believe that they contribute to ocean pollution. They think it’s the big industries that create plastic and…

Patterson performs an experiment called "The Clean Room" where Patterson studies tiny zircon crystals. He measures the lead and it is six times more than what was in the zircons. Then something serious occurred. Patterson's lead measurement numbers were inconsistent. He thought maybe that his lab had been contaminated.…
