However, despite this incredible amount of energy nuclear energy does have drawbacks in regard to its energy production. Nuclear power plants using uranium-235 do pose greater risk to communities because of their use of such a radioactive element. Disasters such as those seen in Chernobyl Ukraine and Fukushima Japan are testaments to the destructive power of misused uranium. Overall, however, if properly used uranium is much more useful as a source of…

gender. The President’s PSAC report validated Carson’s work and led to congressional hearing for pesticides. After the public discovered the harm DDT provided to animals and themselves, they supported the prohibition of DDT. Soon, other environmental disasters alerted the public and progressed into the modern environmental movement. The first earth day demonstration, the establishment of EPA, and the banning of DDT are some of the successes of the movement. Today, Silent Spring remains Carson’s…

The Revenant, The Road, and Everest, are the three artifacts that will be analyzed in this essay. The filmmakers of these three films all seem to be forcing the audience to walk away at the end with a feeling that nature is a difficult force to overcome. By depicting nature as a proving ground for survival, we see how nature threatens to overcome human life. In attempt to try and survive, humans must adapt to and thoroughly understand their environment. These depictions connect to the…

Outlawed in The United States. Fracking? What on Earth is that? Well, hydraulic fracturing, or the so-called fracking, is the process of drilling down into the Earth, then using high pressure water to break open the rocks, to release the natural gas inside, but there’s a problem. Water, sand, and chemicals are also injected along with high pressured water into the rocks. The gas comes right out of the head of the fracking well, but where do the chemicals and contaminated water go?…

forest by counting all the trees, but by locating points in the forest and sampling a specified area around those points. Unfortunately, uncountable natural as well as artificial calamities have been observed these days which demands better alternative options to resolve them. Some examples are land degradation, flood, mass slides, natural disaster and warming and climate change that directly damage the ecosystem services like biodiversity and biomass. Therefore, opportunity should be searched…

windows fail, more solid waste finds its way to local landfills, an increasing problem all across the United States. By contrast, Fibrex is built with pre-consumer, natural wood and vinyl scraps reclaimed from our manufacturing floor – resulting in a product manufactured with recycled resources that reduces harmful impact on natural resources and limits landfill wastes significantly. While it is possible to recycle vinyl, post-consumer window and door recycling isn't readily available in all…

automatically interjects mankind into the subject matter of evolution. To understand evolution one would first have to know and understand the four evolutionary processes. Evolutionists recognize mutation, natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift as the latter stated. Mutation and natural selection are two of the processes that can alter the history of a species, but all four have a significant role in altering the genetic frequency. With mutation a change occurs within an organisms DNA…

contrary, the ecocentrism worldview says that all living creatures including humans are being treated as having an equal intrinsic value and not living independently of each other within an integrated ecosystem. To illustrate, it implies that the natural system is composing of many individual parts, such as species including both human and non-human, water, air, land, etc. At the same time, not only we do not have ability to dominate the nature in which we are inhabited, but also we have to work…
