The Human Rights Campaign represents a force of more than 1.5 million members and supporters nationwide. As the largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization, HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are ensured of their basic equal rights, and can be open, honest and safe at home, at work and in the community. In my opinion, the human rights campaign is a critical part of America’s journey towards full equality. Often times, minorities, such as the…

Do mole ratios affect the amount of reactant that is produced? This experiment tested why mixing reactants in different mole ratios affected the amount of the product and the amount of each reactant that is left over. To solve the problem, the lab contained reacting sodium bicarbonate(baking soda) and acetic acid(vinegar) in different ratios and seeing if the product changed. The data suggests that the higher ratio of baking soda to vinegar creates the most product. For the ratio…

Throughout The Nature of College Farrell argues that the everyday life of a college student impacts the environment whether they know it or not. Things such as using the bathroom, washing your hair and taking a shower all play a part in effecting the environment. Taking a shower, for example, is something that we all do and we probably don’t stop to think about its impact on the world around us. When we take a shower we use approximately 3 gallons of water per minute and since I am pretty sure…

Paul Hessburg studies wildfires and their effect on the land, especially the United States. Wildfire destruction has increased over the last 3 decades and will continue to get much worse in the next 3 decades. All of the destruction and death to wildlife could of been stopped if society would just look at the forests nowadays. Forests used to be like patchwork, unlike the thick and dense forests we have currently. The problem is that this huge population of trees in such a high density are much…

The anatomy and physiology behind Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus and Odobenus rosmarus divergens adaptations Korina M.

Roughly about 50 percent of all produce in the United States is thrown away, and there is an estimated 70 billion pounds of food waste in America each year. Americans sure do waste a tremendous amount of food. Wasted food is also the single biggest occupant in American landfills. Globally, about 800 million people suffer starvation, but only ten years ago the total was almost 1 billion. A drop of nearly 200 million in the number of chronically hungry people should encourage anyone committed to…

Humans are consequently repeating history. In the past, imperialists colonize other countries and exploit manpower, land and resources. Today, fossil fuel companies are also exploiting Earth’s resources and people’s homeland. On the bright sight, there have been progresses and changes in history, such as the end of slavery, and the Civil Rights Movement, which granted rights to African-Americans and women, taking a large step towards equality. In This Changes Everthing by Naomi Klein, Klein…

The Historical Predation of the West Indian Manatee The West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus), also known as the sea cow; was listed as an endangered species by U.S Fish and Wildlife Services in 1972. However, since then it has been downgraded from an endangered species to a threatened species (Heavy Poaching in Prime Habitat: The Conservation Status of the West Indian Manatee). The main reasons behind their decline; are pollution in the water, powerboats, and slow reproduction. As a result,…

According to Muir's essay humans abused the land causing it to decrease it's a diversity and ruin its original beauty Sustainability allows us to conserve our resources so the environment, economics, and, humans have the ability to flourish in the near future. Sustainability only uses processes that will benefit the environment, making it better to hold up in harsh conditions. We only have one Earth, so we must find a way to save it for future generations. The three pillars of sustainability is…

Park Ecology: Voyageurs National Park With the landscape being molded nearly a billion years ago, glaciers have proved to be a prominent impact on the topography of Voyageurs National Park. In addition to forming the rigid layers of the terrain, the glaciers have also helped in the formation of the mosaic-like rocks and minerals that exist in the present-day wildlife sanctuary. Years of snow and rain have also contributed to the erosion of the sediments, thus affecting the geological development…
