Global warming and pollution has increased rapidly throughout the past couple years. Some of it has to do with air pollutants such as fossil fuels, and others has to do with disposing waste and other substances in lakes, rivers, ponds, etc. There are many factors that can cause global warming and pollution but who causes it all? I believe that everybody contributes to pollution and we should be the ones to blame. But we should also blame the major corporations and other industries that do this…

terrestrial species, also have modest impacts due to the limited footprint of the project and the wetland compensation proposed as mitigation(5). However, some VECs are more concerning. Three have issues with baseline data: freshwater fish habitat, shellfish pollution harming human health, and marine mammal habitat(5). While the impacts are likely small, there is too little data to rule out other possibilities. As such, two of these will be subject to future studies(5) as the timeline in the…

C: In the early to mid-Silurian period, approximately 420 million years ago, this area was covered by a shallow tropical sea jam-packed with life in the form of plant-like animals, shellfish, living corals and Molluscs. When the sea began to dry up, the minerals dissolved in it became more and more concentrated. Magnesium in the water was absorbed into the limestone, which then became a harder, slightly different sort of rock, called…

For generations, Lake Taihu, China’s third largest freshwater lake in Wuni, Jiangsu Province, has provided a home and livelihood for over two million people. By way of contrast, in late May, 2007, a drinking water crisis took place following a massive bloom of the toxin producing cyanobacteria Microcystis spp. in Lake Taihu.2 Ultimately, due to unusual growth of algae, the lake digressed to completely green. Local reports say algae density is 38% higher than it was in 2016. Lake Taihu was known…

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States of America and actively participates in its government and its elections as much as any other American citizen would. The President of the territory is Barack Obama and its Vice President is Joe Biden, the same as the U.S., but the territory has a Governor who acts as the figurehead of Puerto Rico. That man is Alejandro Garcia Padilla, a member of the Democratic Party, and he was elected on January 2, 2013 (World Factbook). Even though the…

“Women Demand Equality” and “I’m A Second Class Citizen” were few of many posters seen throughout the American Feminist Movement. The life of an American woman was limited in every aspect, from family life to the workplace. Women were expected to follow a similar life style that included one path; to marry in her early 20s, start a family quickly, and devote her life to home making. As one woman at the time put it, “The female doesn’t really expect a lot from life. She’s here as someone’s keeper…

When the horses were placed in the new environment-which was perfect for them-their population exploded, and they promptly trampled local environments. Cows took over any grassland they could reach, and pigs ate indigenous plant life, as well as shellfish and sweet potatoes. While the Native Americans had to deal with the damaging wildlife placed upon them, Europeans enjoyed a wide variety of agriculture taken from the New World. The foreign plants dominated the native ones, and invaded every…

The Christian subculture, in particular the Protestant, Baptist division is a subculture of those that hold the same value, symbol and practices of the Baptist denomination of Christianity. This subculture allows individuals to separate themselves from not only the American society as a whole but also everyone in the Christianity religion that doesn’t necessarily share the same values as them but to connect with those that do. Often times when you think of christianity the first things that come…
