Imagine a world where animals ran free, trees and grass covered the earth and the only light came from the sun and the stars. Goodmorning (judges) teachers, staff and students - have you ever wondered: What the earth would be like if humans went extinct? Humans were have said to been around for over 1 million years- but what if, we suddenly disappeared? Whether it being from a zombie apocalypse, asteroid, or nuclear warfare. What would happen after we were all gone? Shortly after humans are gone house pets such as cats, dogs, and caged birds would die of starvation. So say goodbye to your little chiwawa or kitten. Different species of fish like Eel, Halibut and Atlantic Cod would repopulate in oceans and lakes. Due to the lack of fishing. …show more content…
Have you ever been to Paris, Toronto, or New york city, if you have youve probaly seen famous buildings like the C.N tower right. Well landmarks like this would acumilate rust and would deterarerate after years without proper maintance. Its sad to say that most affcets of the dissaperance of humans wouldnt have a negative impact on the earth. There would be less pollution, most endangered aniamls would repopulate greatly, and the planet would look very similar to how it used used to be billions of years ago when dinsaurs walked the earth. But dont worry, we can still make a few global changes that will have a big impact on our ways of living and prevent the vanishing of humans. We can do this by using renewable sources of enegry to decrease pollution and settle conflicts between countries to stop the use of Nuclear weapons and war. Hopefully robots will not take over the world the exctinction of humans will not be soon, however we still have work together to ensure a long, prosperes and bright future for our
There is no debate that one of the most attractive, human friendly and intelligent beauties in nature is the killer whale, more commonly known as the orca. The orca is in the dolphin family, but capable of learning human traits and freely interacting with them without causing any harm. Their curious behavior and acrobatic moves make us enjoy their company through watching and spending time in the waters with them. However, the gradual decline in the population of the orca is a worrying trend that sparks another kind of debate. Our interactions with killer whales is endangering their survival in the ecosystem, which should not be the case (BioExpedition 1). Our interaction with the
Because of what SeaWorld is doing, people should stop founding this billion dollar company by
Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life? How would your views change if our cooks got treated the same way cattle and poultry do? How would you feel about them being beaten and brought to their knees just to be detained to know how to cook todays specials? You might think that the food industry has no issues and no faults behind their tasty food, but when you open up the meat curtain, there is a different kind of world out there that is cruel and inhumane. In Robert Kenner’s 2008 film, Food, Inc., He shows the conditions that cows, chickens, and pigs have to live in. The dark and closeted homes in which the animals are closely compacted together and eating, sleeping, and walking in their own manure. As a person who would consider themselves an animal rights activist, most people would agree that the food industry treats their animals like products instead of living things.
The effects of their endangerment, and possible extinction, could potentially lead to our populations decreasing at alarming rates. The Earth would lose
According to IUCN, there were 144 species that went extinct in 1800 - 1900. The number of extinct species in 1900 – 2010 is 396. If humans keep hunting endangered species, future generations will only see those animals in images or films. Many people have experienced interacting with real animals like swimming with dolphins. If this species goes extinct, future generations won’t have a chance to swim and play with real dolphins.
Attention Getter: Imagine living in a space about a third the size of this room. You also share this space with 3 other people. This is what animals deal with when living in zoos and aquariums.
This section gave detailed explanation of how humans have changed from primates and how we are able to survive. DNA is what affects what our bodies can handle compared to what our primates could handle. Mankind is twice split off from apes and the mutation of the human apoE gene is what helps us be able to eat meat. A second mutation appeared 220000 years ago which helped humans be able to break down fats and cholesterol. DNA and the mutation of our genes is what helped us survive. This section also talks about extinction, and how Jean Leopold Nicolas Frederic Cuvier,one of the greatest naturalists believed in it, despite many people not believing in the impermanence of a species. William Buckland, a biblical geologist who
Think about how we will look back on our cruel forms of entertainment in the future. Will we be proud of the way we treated these great animals, with abuse as neglect? Today we turn our heads away from reality and what happens behind the scenes of animal entertainment. However, we can’t turn our heads forever. Around the world, there is so much more to animal entertainment than what meets the eye. These animals have been torn away from their beautiful, natural homes and brought to a prison of concrete. In these prisons, they are beaten, starved and tortured all for our money and entertainment. These animals lives should not be taken from them for us. Our money and happiness should not be worth these animal’s lives. Circus, theme park and zoo animals all suffer from aggression towards trainers, mental disabilities and physical injuries. These animals should not have to suffer any longer.
Another major consequence of deforestation is the fact that there are hundreds and thousands of species losing their homes. Without their habitations, wild animals such as wolves, foxes and possums will be forced to find a new home. But since there are no forests, they will end up in your garden, or on the side of the road. I highly doubt that you’ll want to wipe bloody guts off of your windshields every morning on your way to work. This is very sad and also inhuman. In what world do we kill hundreds of species just so that we can write on paper and do our homework? I mean, of course I know that teaching and learning are essential parts of our lives, but with today’s growing technology, we should certainly be able to come up with a new way to eliminate the use of
In Fact, this is not something new to us or we have just come across it for the first time. The most pessimists of the Scientifics have been warning us many decades’ now. Today, as a concerned scholar, I write these words with the certitude and conviction that knowledge together with technology, if applied with wisdom, might allow for a good comely Anthropocene. A good transition into the Anthropocene is illustrated in in making people’s lives better, cushioning the impact our activities in order to stabilize the climate, and protecting the natural world. The pursuance of a good Anthropocene, which is absolutely achieved in our lifetime, will strain Humanity to use its growing technological, economical, as well as social powers to contribute to the betterment of the people’s lives, stabilize the climate, and protect the natural
When the first species arrived, there have been many species that have become extinct due to natural disasters, natural selection, or even just the dominance of species fighting for survival. When the Industrial Revolution started in human society, we have been the blame for many extinctions such as the Dodo which was hunted to extinction by sailors and invasive species brought over by the sailors (OneKind). Some of the threats to species due to humans are habitat loss, pollution in the atmosphere, and overpopulation. This could mean another extinct species creating another bullet point on the list of extinction.
Hi, I am a 15 year old soft-more in high school and I was completely applaud when I heard about your killing contest in Maryland. If I had heard about this when I was five years old I would have known it was wrong, and I don't get how you can keep this going. I know I can't make a direct difference about this but I know that you can. I am asking you to please put an end to this brutal entertainment and am urging you to get lawmakers to create legislation to end wildlife killing contests in Maryland. I also know that this email will probably just end up in you trash pile but all I can do is try, so please help me stop this. Those beautiful rays may not have very big brains but I hope that you do :) Have a nice day, and once again please stop
Thesis Statement: My purpose today is to inform you on the illegal poaching on elephants and the ivory trade.
The planet Earth could be defined as one small piece to an extremely large puzzle within our Galaxy. With out, the Galaxy would not function in the same way as it does now. Inside our planet are several different resources that are used every day. Whether this is direct use such as drilling for oil, or indirect use such as over grazing our land to feed the animals that will in turn feed humans, the point is the Earth is feeling the effects of it. Some argue that we will never run out of resources, at least not in our lifetime; others believe that we are overusing resources and through this we are minimizing our chances of
Most of you probably have a pet of your own. Maybe a dog named Max or a cat named Oliver. Could you imagine seeing them in terrible pain? I honestly don't think there will be one student in this class that would volunteer to let their own pet be tortured for any reason. Am I wrong?
