However, before Denver is born, Sethe lays down almost completely defeated, believing that her unborn baby is “gonna die in wild onion on the bloody side of the Ohio River” (31). Wild onions symbolize protection and in a way, the onions “protected” Denver as Sethe refuses to allow herself to die as her baby would be doomed to die as well and also brings her a protector in the form of Amy, who guides her to the Ohio. Even with Amy’s assistance, Sethe…

to combat some of our present day environmental threats. His work at the Broad Street Pump was a major contributor of this concept. The Broad Street Pump was the deadly cause of cholera in London many years ago. He convinced town officials to take the handle of the pump so that no one could get any contaminated water. With Snow’s investigation of where the cholera was coming from, he helped pave the way for many others to fight against our present day environmental threats. John Snow was…

The fact that earth day was followed by a “decade of environmental legislation” (Rome, Around 11:00 mins), shows these organizations’ impact. The same is true in the case of environmentalism of the poor as explained by Joan Martinez –Alier in her work The Environmentalism of the Poor. Martinez-Alier…

order for the state to build a new supply line from the lake. When the water started coming in from the river, residents reported that it looked brown. It was discovered that the state DEQ wasn’t treating the water with an anti corrosive agent, and since the water from the river is 19 times dirtier than the water of the lake, the water corroded the metal of the pipes, putting it in the water. Since pipes in flint are made of lead, lead started…

Hydraulic fracturing, also know as “fracking” is something you may not have heard of in Canada or Niagara to be precise although in the states this is more popular. Fracking is the process of drilling into the earth before shooting a high pressure water mixture into the hole to crack the rock which releases natural gases for gas companies to collect. This process is very bad for the environment and needs to be looked after. Fracking leads to air pollution, water contamination and seismic…

aridity of the environment as a reason not to have to artificially mummify. The external wrappings around the corpses were held tight with a combination of salty seawater and sun exposure (Guillén 2004). This provided an extra layer of covering for protection from the elements. Tello also hypothesized that the body cavities were eviscerated and the extremities were…

plant. Although they failed to obtain necessary permits and install controls for reducing their emissions, EPA was there to stop them from polluting our precious air with the help of the United States funding. Air is free moving which means air from California has the potential to reach other neighboring states. Sadly, Sulfur oxides is also able to move freely with the help of winds. Sulfur oxides is gaseous and toxic. Sometimes this toxic gas can come from a volcano erupting and something…

occurred, and two, for a time after the process was completed, by pressure changes brought on by the lingering presence of fracking fluid. Dr. Eaton and Xuewei Bao also suggest that most of the recent earthquakes in Oklahoma and other parts of the United States have been caused by the burial of wastewater from all kinds of oil and gas wells rather than by the fracking process itself. Wastewater is injected under pressure into disposal wells drilled into a sandstone or other permeable formation…
