Smog

The Effects of Acid Rain in the Temperate Deciduous Forest The temperate deciduous forest has many environmental threats, such as deforestation, introduction of non-native species, overgrazing, and much more. One prominent issue, other than the cutting down of trees, is the constant occurrence of acid rain and pollutants in the air. Acid rain is essentially rainfall made acidic due to atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause of this…

The stench, the horrendous sight, and the wretched feeling that landfills give off to their viewers. What kind of world do individuals want to live in where their air is filled with smog, and their water is brown with lead poising. While extremes are not always the case, they could become common if the waste in which the world throws away is not reduce. Recycling, the solution to the waste dilemma, provides a plausible reality in which individuals can contribute to reusing materials in hopes…

Natural vegetation comprises the forest, shrub and grasses, and is determined by the climactic conditions and soil types. The climate of Pakistan is too dry for forests, except in the northern hilly and sub mountain belts. Soil formation and hill slopes is a requirement for forest growth, but human practices in these areas have contributed to erosion, rather than to soil formation. The country like Pakistan should have 20-25% under the forest. Pakistan has only about 4% area under the forest.…

better writer. I have gotten a handle on the writing process of narratives, which I previously was very out of practice on. Even writing prose such as the following: “The air in Autumn is so fresh, and clean, and cool. Unfettered for a while from the smog and the fumes we usually inhale” (Essay 1) Beyond that, I have learned how to read things in a way that addresses the topic in an academic manner. Seeing beyond the surface level of readings, and papers. I have also learned how to critically…

A lush thriving metropolis, and a dark dank slum. Both of these house humans, but the difference is only one has energy. Energy is fundamental to the way people live their lives. Where energy, and specifically electricity, are available and reliable, homes, businesses, and governments can thrive. But when energy is unreliable, families struggle, businesses go bankrupt, and governments turn to anarchy. Is energy the only difference between these two extremes? No, but few understand how much…

and the Sino-Soviet split. “Homework” mentions nature, belief in a better world, pollution, endangered species, and bettering political issues, the Sino-Soviet split. For example, “put all the birds and elephants back in the jungle” and “rub that smog off the North Pole” show the struggle to preserve the environment, (Ginsberg 2-4). Showing that first- world countries are not perfect either is a major theme in the poem: “ I’d throw in my United States” and “ Then I’d throw big Asia in one…

treated has rapidly declined. Adi Ferrara, in her essay “Pollution Issues,” talks about the effects of pollution not just on nature, but the people residing in and around it, “Between December 5 and 9, 1952, 4,000 people died in London as a result of smog trapped in a thermal inversion (a condition where the air close to the ground is colder than the layer above it, and is therefore unable to rise above it). This incident brought about England 's Clean Air Act in 1956. (Ferrara)” Clearly, in…

The operations of a business stems out to factors such as employment, economic growth, revenue, and consumer satisfaction, however, an amalgam of variables start to flourish once a business and their practices impact the environment. Should the government regulate harsher terms on the aspect of a business that pertains to the impact of the environment? To approach this question, taking the analysis of an ethical theory such as Utilitarianism, will suffice. Earth’s environment is the only one we…

It is my great honor to explore the Legion of Honor Museum located in San Francisco on March 30th. All of the fantastic artworks have impressed me by the artists’ excellent drawing techniques and imaginations. However, there is one great masterwork of painting influenced me the most. It was draw by the celebrated English artist Joseph Wright of Derby (1734–1797) and entitled The Dead Soldier(1789). The exceptional 49 ¾ x 64-inch painting has been principally known through a smaller version…

There are two cities who have had a profound impact in my life. Those cities are San Bernardino and Angelus Oaks. Both cities are located in the Inland Empire of Southern California.Both of these cities contribute different feelings and present a separate kind of home to me. When the two cities are compared they seem like completely different places, however they do share some similarities. Although Angelus Oaks and San Bernardino are completely different in weather, scenery, and the sounds one…
