Crawford County Community Analysis

Throughout many decades there has been a huge environmental problem, not only putting marine life at risk but also human health. Ocean pollution is a big threat to the habitat and still today we haven’t stopped throwing trash, chemicals or toxins into the oceans. During the 1940’s, a technical service of the Army dumped a lot of chemical warfare into the sea, believing the type of gas will dissolve in the water becoming harmless in minutes. At that time, fishermen were able to catch a lot of fish, it wasn’t until they were out of luck and all they could see were dead fish floating on the surface. Many people think that oil spills and trash are the only types of ocean pollution, but they’re also forgetting about chemical, bacterial and thermal pollution. Polluted seas can be the cause of many diseases or infections, especially if people don’t take big measures like telling their kids not to “accidentally” drink water from rivers or lakes when swimming. Marine animals are a big part of our food chain if they carry diseases or toxins we’re also in big danger. Today, there have been many people who have been trying to stop others from polluting the oceans, but they still haven’t been able to convince the whole world to end ocean pollution. The government, instead of wasting money on unnecessary things like building walls or building more towers and creating more trash they should build trash contractors that will help with the trash floating around in the seas. There are

When ever you go to the beach, do you ever think about what can happen to an animal and the water when you leave a wrapper in the sand or a plastic bottle in the water? If you think about it, even a small piece of plastic can harm a fish. The fish could mistake it for food. This could potentially kill the fish. There are other things that people d that pollutes the ocean. An oil spill from a boat can get fish sick (Doc.2). Also, solid waste, plastics, glass, and foam (OI). Marine life can get trapped in any of these items (OI). There are many things we can do to prevent this, like, reducing plastic waste in stream, improve solid waste management, and increase, capture, and reuse (Doc.1). These are just a few of the many things we could do to

Over the years many animals have been affected by the trash in the ocean. The trash can affect the animals by making animals eat and pick up plastic, by trapping animals in a net, and by cutting their wounds. The trash is causing animals to die, mainly from the plastic objects and from getting cut by trash or by getting stuck in the trash. Some animals mistake plastic for food. When the animals eat the plastic their organs can get ruptured. In addition to that, animals mistake plastic for food because the plastic smells like krill (a small fish that is found in the ocean, and a fish that is eaten by some animals). Another reason why animals die is because of ghost gear. Ghost gear is what people call fishing supplies that were thrown into

“The waste dumped into the oceans tend to have toxic substance, which soaks in all the oceans oxygen,” so the oxygen is available to mammals.There are some items of trash that actually improve the found in environment. If it is in the right location, trash can increase rather than damage that’s found in the ecosystems. That may be true but I realized if we don’t clean up the oceans, it can change colors and we won’t have clean water to drink because of all the stuff that’s in the oceans.

Dane County have services for the needy. There are many Food pantries in the community, some food pantries are run by churches. There are also many charitable organizations in Dane, providing food, clinical services and other needs.

Back in the 1800s most waste that ships carried were dumped in our oceans without much thought. The difference from then to now is that the dump 200 years ago was biodegradable dump now about 14.4 million tons of our waste is plastic which is not always biodegradable according to the EPA and that number is rapidly increasing every year. Our oceans are massively being affected and so are we in ways unimaginable like the fact that our fish are ingesting chemicals that is in the plastics in the sea and we are being fed these toxic chemicals. Maybe if citizens have a better understanding of what is going on in our oceans they’ll decide to do something about it.

The community we decided to look at is in the north Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. The area we decided to focus on the surrounding blocks around the St. John’s Recreation center. The blocks we examine are from Utica Avenue & Albany Avenue and Park Place & Bergen Street. Our team decided to use this community due to most of the group members live and/or are familiar with this community. Being familiar with how the community used to have high crime rates, drug infested that housed many low income Black, West Indian, Jewish families to now having a decreased minority population and more upper class families are moving in. As a result more residents are being priced out of their community at an alarming rate (Chan, 2007). Crown Heights remains

“Around 260 million tons of plastic is produced every year, approximately 10% of this ends up in oceans. This litter is frequently consumed, often with fatal effects, by marine animals and birds who mistake it for food. The Trash Vortex of the Northern Pacific ocean is a patch the size of Texas consisting of trillions of pieces of decomposing plastic.” (Geer) Water pollution often directly correlates with other natural recourses that is being harmed by the same

Russell Creek Park is in large community park which located at Plano. It has soccer court volleyball court and lake etc. After weekend especially after children soccer game people will left with garbage. Who is responsibility for it? It is the people who went to the Park’s responsibility. As a student our power is not so big, but we can still do something small to help it.

Marine wildlife is being rapidly extinguished because of the exploitation of their lives and natural habitats. Oceans are in deplorable condition due to human inflicted contamination. These waters create over half of the earth’s oxygen, and if they are not preserved, there will be potential detriments to the human race. However, this crisis can be prevented with actions taken on by the ordinary individual. By boycotting those producers and corporations that exploit marine life, limiting the use of plastic, and improving recycling habits and awareness, the American people can save what their elected officials are neglecting.

Do you feel bad for the death of these marine animals? Or if you really don't care about these animals, don't you care about your own future? You can help and make this better,by using fewer plastic products, not using products that aren't exploiting marine life and reducing and the amount of marine life you eat. Even though they might be quite

In the documentary “Inside the Garbage of the World”, the main social problem being explained is that there has been a great influx of plastic and other type of garbage in oceans and their beaches. This buildup of pollution has largely affected the wildlife population ranging from animals on the beaches to the creatures of the ocean. In oceans, what is called ‘garbage patches’, a large buildup of garbage that flow to one area in the oceans, are being created. Approximately 50 percent of all plastic sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor but about 2 times that much is actually already on the ocean floor. In fact, according to the documentary, there is a garbage patch that is to the left of California that is the size of half of the United States. Each year, about 4.7 million tons of plastic goes in the ocean a year and it is estimated that by 2050, there will be another 33 billion tons of plastic added to the present amount. Eighty percent of the current pollution comes from the land. According to marine researchers, twice as much plastic debris is one the ocean floor than it was 10 years ago. In the futures, plastic will break down into smaller pieces of plastic, creating a bigger problem from the habitat. This plastic pollution is one of the leading cause for beach and ocean inhabiting creatures be extinct because animals are mistaking these plastic pieces for food. When scientist began to dissect beach animals such as birds, they discovered that at least fifteen pounds of

My first reason for thinking something should be done about the trash on campus is because the trash can hurt animals. I learned on environmentalchemistry.com that discarded fishing lines can trap the legs, wings, or neck of waterfowl such as swans and moorhens. A fishhook may get stuck in a bird's throat. I know there are no fishing lines at our school, and there are no poisons, but the plastic and papers around school could hurt animals big or little. We may not see the animals while we are at school, but I think it is best that we try to prevent the harming of animals. Even though we might not leave six-pack soda holders on campus, the trash might be blown onto campus. Water birds suffer lead poisoning when they accidentally swallow small lead

trash in the water really is. It not only interferes with the aquatic life, it also allows

People knowing more about the effects that littering has on the ocean environment will hopefully encourage them to pick up after themselves and others to help make the world a better place. As time progresses forward, people are getting more and more lazier to clean up after themselves. Most of the time, the trash that is left on the ground will eventually find its way into the sewers. According to “Water Pollution an Introduction,” 80% of water pollution comes from land which gets to the ocean by the sewers. Another piece of evidence from that source is that the trash that finds its way into the ocean, will often take a fish’s life because the trash will get into the gills of the fish and suffocate it. Organizations all around the world hope
