Canada is still behind other developed countries when it comes to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions it has reduced. While other developed countries are decreasing its emissions, Canada's is climbing. As global emissions are increasing, the decisions that countries make now about climate change are crucial and critical. I believe climate change needs to be dealt with immediately because first, the effect it has on the economy. Climate change is primarily caused by the greenhouse effect being…

The article “Capitalism vs. the Climate” was written by Naomi Klein about climate change and its solutions in relation to the economy as well as the political reactions to such solutions. Her article mainly revolves around the premise that climate change deniers are right about one thing, that in order to fix climate change, drastic changes in the modern economic models are needed. To this end, she makes a good, albeit flawed argument, as although she does provide a plethora of sources for her…

What harm can store-bought water bottles filled with water and fracking cause? Statistics state that there is more harm done than a person might think. One out of every six water bottles gets recycled; if a bottle is filled up by a fourth of oil, that same amount of oil was used in its production. Fracking actually pollutes water so bad that it is next to impossible to purify. In 'The Curse of Water Bottles' and 'Fracking Threatens Everyone', the authors reveal the harm done by those two…

It has come to my concern and attention that recycling should be mandatory in ISA. Americans make more than 200 million tons of garbage each year due to the garbage outburst that is not recycled. I personally believe that recycling should be mandatory in ISA because the EPA system averages out that 75% of the American waste stream of garbage is only 30% recycled which isn’t even half of it. Therefore ISA should go green and have recycle bins which then the recycled items will be processed to a…

There is no doubt that humans have left an imprint on Earth; we are changing things every single day, making new history every single day. Diamond argues that our activity impacted history more than the environment.…

In recent news, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times put pen to paper to depict their opinions on the matter of human impact on the environment. More specifically, they included topics such as air pollution at docking terminals and renewable fuel. Joe Jobe, Chief Executive Officer for the National Biodiesel Board, wrote with a nonchalant, or matter-of-fact, tone to disprove false claims made about environmental laws. His argument was titled The Renewable Fuel Standard. While, on the…
