Environmental Effects On Animals

the main contributors of environmental destruction was something that the vast majority of people contribute to everyday, without even realizing the detrimental effects it has on the environment? In conversations about lessening one’s personal environmental impacts, some common points are using renewable energy, recycling, taking shorter showers, and not littering. While these are great steps to take, one subject rarely thoroughly discussed is one’s consumption of animal products. Switching to more

Animals are essential to maintain the circle of life and the food chain. It is just not the animals, but insects, reptiles, and aquatic animals are all interdependent on each other, and even on plants and humans. The animals in our world today are suffering from an all around change in climate. For some species they can withstand these conditions, but for most of these they struggle to keep the living standards they had before. This is a major problem not only for animal species, but us as humans

Every year, approximately 9.8 billion animals are slaughtered in the United States for not only domestic but also for markets abroad (Kim, 2013). This large number of animals being slaughtered every year is not a sustainable model for advancement. Advancements in technology had led to the switch from smaller farms where people raise cattle for local distribution and consumption to large scale intensive animal farming. This new system has caused many environmental consequences as well as risks to human

is virtually undeniable. The source of this environmental destruction is typically attributed to the burning of fossil fuel-oil, coal, and natural gas-for the purpose of transportation and industry. However, the standard American diet, specifically the prevalence of animals and their byproducts, is an even more significant contributor to the environmental threat of climate change. The livestock sector is often criticized for its mistreatment of animals, but its toll on the environment through greenhouse

hundreds of animals is now a depressing factory. Out of the smokestacks on top of the factory comes a thick black smoke, making the once clear, blue skies dark and dreary. Many animals that once roamed the Earth are now extinct, and generations yet to come will never know a world where they are alive. The actions of humans are gradually killing the Earth and if humans continue to harm the Earth, it could become a wasteland. The actions of humans have caused numerous negative effects on Earth, including

51 percent of global greenhouse emissions are caused by animal agriculture. According to the United Nations, a global shift toward a vegan diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change (Peta.org). A study was conducted educating subjects on the adverse environmental effects of animal agriculture. A pre and post test through Google Forms was administered to study the effect of this education on the subject’s likelihood of eating meat. A matched pairs T Test was used to analyze the

The effects of Chernobyl on the Ecosystem Days of manmade or natural disasters start like any other. The accident of Chernobyl and the its effect on the ecosystem surrounding the initial site has been studied by scientist for the past thirty years. The effects to the ecosystem during and immediately after the accident, as well as the recovery still taking place thirty years later show how far an ecosystem can come back in its recovery from a manmade disaster. The actual causes of the accident

has a monumental effect on countries across the globe, It is becoming increasingly clear that it is the most important challenge facing international relations today. Agriculture and more specifically animal agriculture is one of the biggest contributors to human made climate change. This is important for international relations because animal agriculture effects trade, global food security and the global economy. With the population growing at a rapid pace the demand on animal agricuture is also
