Since Polar Bears have been recognized as an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act in 2008 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (The Alaska Zoo 2005), it is essential to use precaution to preserve them. Captive facilities like the Alaska Zoo possess the sufficient resources for the polar bears that will aid in…

The admission of greenhouse gases are at an all time high, due to the faith humans hold in cars, all of these unrenewable gases are eating away at the ozone and speeding up the process of climate change. This along with the extensive harvesting of lumber have made the air harder to breath; more carbon dioxide and less oxygen is being produced. The Dr Seuss book, and movie, The Lorax warns against the ghastly…

We have the ability to predict the future; our sixth, Ms. Cleo, sense is controlled by our midbrain dopamine system located in our brain. According to Joel Achenbach's, "The Future is Now: It's Heading Right at Us , But We Never See It Coming" and "We CAN predict the future (a bit): Why the brain knows what's going to happen before it does", by Graham Smith, humans have a prosaic ability to foresee events.

Hybrid and electric vehicles are the future of transportation. CO2 levels rising, causing such harm to the environment from gasoline powered vehicles, but not everyone is for the alternative energy vehicles. We love our fast cars that are able to travel far distances without having to worry about recharging up when it only takes a few minutes to get a few gallons of gas. However, if we don’t try and give the alternative energy vehicles a chance; who knows how long it will take for the pollution…
