“Environmental pollution is an incurable disease, it can only be prevented” once said by Barry Commoner, a former biologist and a founder of the modern environmental movement stated this quote back in the day 1900’s yet environmental problems still continues to be a huge problem, not only individually but it’s a social condition today. As humans we should see that we breath and survive because of the clean environment that we once had, but the question is that are we really living in a clean…

What steps can we take in our lives to reduce Global Warming in the United States? When the average temperature of our planet gradually increases over time we call this global warming. Global warming is affecting the oceans, land and wildlife. The ocean temperature is increasing causing damage to our coral reefs and melting the polar ice caps at a much faster pace than ever recorded before. It may seem like only larger measures enacted by the government can be taken to prevent global warming,…

created by two sources fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum) and nuclear. Coal and natural gas make up most of our energy, but why am I telling you this it’s because coal energy is a giant now but it is slowly ruining our environment. That’s why the future of our energy should be nuclear. The counter argument to this proposition is coal cost less and it is a necessary evil. Nuclear power should be the main power source of the future because nuclear power does…

found in the newspaper. It is in the air that people breathe every single day. However, many humans are still not aware of the harmful effects of global warming. Carbon is emitted into the air daily because of the burning of fossil fuels. Eventually, we will run out of fossil fuels. Then what happens? There are plenty of clean alternatives that put little to no greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. One small switch at a time could save a population of polar bears or even someone’s life. Global…

“Hydro fracturing”, also known as fracking, is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique used to access fossil energy. This process literally smashes shale rock with millions of gallons of water and chemicals to access the gas. This process is very unnecessarily harmful in many ways. It hurts the environment and climate, it hurts the health of humans, and it causes dangerous earthquakes. This practice only benefits the big businesses and oil companies, and should be stopped as soon as…

Harmful fossil fuels, including coal and oil, were previously used to make all the energy possible. These are however very harmful and nonrenewable. Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Thermal are just a few examples of many new energy producers seen today. Renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly, reduce pollution and are cost effective. Alternative Energy sources have been seen around the world for thousands…

I think solar energy would be the most effective energy for the United States to develop. The energy cost has dropped because the technology improved. Although some still argue that solar energy is costly, it is beneficial to the environment because it is efficient, it will not give off harmful gases, and it is easily accessible. Solar energy is powered by sunlight, which converts it into solar heating and electricity. There are two types of solar heating systems, active and passive power;…

the Breakthrough Energy Coalition which was put together by billionaire Bill Gates. The goal of this Coalition of private investors is to bring down the price of renewable energy through innovation, so that it will be economically competitive with fossil fuels (Gates). There are many index funds and individual stocks in solar energy companies that companies with large portfolios and individuals alike can invest…

There is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any point in the last 800,000 years. The increase in carbon dioxide was caused by burning fossil fuels, such as coal, to create electricity and to fuel cars. If coal burning continues at this current rate, the world will continue to heat up, leading to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and more severe air pollution. One major solution to global warming is alternative energy sources, more specifically solar panels. According to the…

Unsuspecting victims who eat these crops or even touch the water in the rivers instantly are at high risk for health problems, even death (Journeymanpictures). Another example of how humans have caused this problem is by chemical emissions and the burning of fossil fuels. Due to the rapid increase of motor vehicles, high levels of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide have been released into the air (Pan). Humans caused this problem and now it 's time to fix…
