“Run forest, run” Forests are being destroyed at an amazing rate of 32 million acres per year, or nearly six square miles each hour (Struck, 2011, pg. 29). Deforestation is the clearing of a forest, or section of a forest for agricultural or commercial use. This clearing can be done by cutting the trees, burning the forest, or even in natural ways such as insect swarms or natural disaster (Struck, 2011, pg. 29). The clearing of Earth’s forests have started to impact the planet in ways many…

Humanity has tainted Earth with its constant production of carbon emissions. Many people do not acknowledge the effects of carbon emissions on Earth, even though they are clear. In recent years, the frequency of forest fires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters has increased. This increased frequency of natural disasters will inflict mass damage to coastal cities. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim reflects this observation of climate change by comparing the film’s antagonists to natural…

s is due to the radiofrequency energy emitted by cell phones (Senthil & Sakthi, 2015). Additional discoveries have found that the lead used to solder components from the cell phones together can cause damage to one’s central nervous system, as well as the immune and endocrine systems. Also, there are damaging developmental consequences to children’s brains (Zadok & Riikka, 2010). Researchers found that health risks include “headaches, difficulties in concentration, apathy, weakness and a…

Global warming is still considered a controversial topic in modern politics. More people believe that global warming is real but aren 't worried about the immediate threat it imposes. Conservatives believe that changes in global temperature is naturally proven by examples like the Ice Age. They believe that there is no evidence that human beings are causing climate change. Liberals, however, believe the opposite. In the 2012 article Global Warming 's Terrifying New Math by Bill McKibben, the…

Residential homes are accountable for over eighteen percent of the greenhouse gases in the environment. First, the materials used in residential homes are much less environmentally friendly than those used in tiny homes such as CO2 consumption and lumber used. Second, the amount of water used in residential homes is exponentially larger than the water used in the tiny home water catchment system. Tiny home, being much smaller use a lot less energy with a fraction of the light bulbs needed to…

Dominic Pagan Professor Walsh ENC1101 TTH 12:30-2:15 7 December 2017 The Inverse Relationship Between the Causation of Global Warming and the Effect of Humanity Human beings live, breath, and, in every aspect of the term, are the Earth; everything we do directly impacts our environment, and as a result, impacts us as humans, and our lives. With such an overwhelming and impending issue that is Global Warming, one would surmise that more people would be further educated and demanding of not only…

Abstract: In modern societies, there are countless ways toview nature or environment.In modern-days, industrial practices move away the human beings from nature, so it becomes important to consider the ways in which we connect to our surrounding nature. People from all over the world are suffering from the results of the projects, which are made for the name of progress in today’s industrial society. The way to such type of thinking is offered by the theory of ecocriticism which has various…

Humans are constantly changing the world to facilitate our growing need of comfort. The burning of fossil fuels adding acidity to oceans and myriad carbon to the atmospheric layer to result in global warming. Elizabeth Kolbert interprets the idea of destruction through global warming in her article “The Forest and the Trees”. “Global warming is mostly seen as a threat to cold-loving species, and there are good reasons for this” (Kolbert 150). Mostly, global warming results in increased…

Nature vs Human There are many ways in which human beings have could create changes towards the earth’s environment. Currently, humans are involved with a considerable amount of changes to the planet, stemming from large differences like carbon dioxide emissions or smaller scale changes like creating houses. Many of these changes originate from a plethora of social forces that alter the world. These interactions create hostile living conditions and can also have a long term unfavorable planet.…
