Environmental Effects On Environment

Enviropigs were produced to reduce the amount of pollutant waist, hog farms could raise significantly more hogs, and help meet environmental regulations. One of the reasons why the enviropig fail, was the lack of investment in continuing to study enviropigs and the company wanted to put more money towards other efficiencies in meat production. People were also very afraid to eat them, with fears the long term effects on their health. The enviropigs were also never tested for its effects on human allergies, since this type of food was never in there diets before. The best way to decrease environments impacts, is to decrease the amount of meat that is consumed.

The bizarre economy that we live in has affected us in many ways than our simple mind can fathom. After World War II there was massive push in innovation. Human were gifted with inventions like the Airplane, color T.V., polyvinyl cups, and precooked dinners. Nevertheless, these “gifts” came at an enormous cost. That cost was pushed onto the environment and people living in that environment. “The Market Economy” by Marge Piercy illustrates the movement in American aimed at bring attention to a global problem as well as an effort to save the planet along with the people living on it.

As once said by the Once-ler, from the tale of The Lorax, “Complain all you want, it’s never, ever, ever, ever gonna stop.” This is a strong message of a children’s book but it can impact how every life spends each day. The growing economy is directly linked to industrialization, which is damaging the Earth more and more each day. Industrialization is the rapidly growing spread of business and industries within a region, and can be shown in practically any country on Earth. There are many environmental issues that industrialization has caused but one in particular is our overuse of scarce resources, therefore, nations have responded to this issue by using renewable resources.

It's important to understand that valuable natural resources are constantly put to use to produce an unlimited supply of products. Anderson points this out saying, “Jefferson Park? Yeah. That was knocked down to make an air factory….Do you know how inefficient trees are, next to an air factory?” (Anderson 125). If we continue to let this issue ‘slide’ then we are basically just watching our natural resources disintegrate right before our eyes. Marketing is important but not important enough to steidley take away valuable natural resources that are needed in this

Good morning, today I’m presenting to you about the industrial revolution. However, I’m specifically speaking about the industry’s effect on the environment from the years of 1750 to 1901. The question asked was “did the Industrial Revolution make the world a better place?” I’ve researched how the industry in Britain has not been a benefit to the environment. My task is to prove to you that the industrial revolution has not made the world a better place, and in fact, has made it worse off than it initially was.

First, the United States is about 3,806 million square miles. This vast land mass differs in all parts; whether its mountain ranges, raging rivers, dry deserts, or green fields. The U.S. economy still uses natural resources for about 3% of its economy. Even though the U.S has a large amount of oil, they still have to import roughly ten million barrels a day. Domestic oil production as well as natural gas production can be found in the Alaska’s North Slope, the Central Interior of the U.S., and the Gulf Coast. The extraction of natural resources creates more jobs and money for the U.S. but creates dangers for the environment. Natural resources aren’t the only part of the economy that varies regionally. Agriculture differs throughout every part of the country. In the Northeast, dairy

This environmentally friendly objective is quite the opposite of Americans’ scouring past to use up all the resources on the continent. Today, Americans know that they must create a sustainable future so that their descendants can survive on this planet for generations to come. To understand this current American ideal, one must look at the past and the damage that has been done through

The creation of the industries of steel and oil run by Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller, respectively, soon became industries that made millions of dollars, and that massive income was all big businessmen cared about, thus they did not focus on their environmental impact. Extraction of fossil fuels from the Earth in the late 19th century began an economic reliance as an energy source the nation still feels today, but the depletion of Earth’s reserves began with Rockefeller’s oil digging. Also, factories polluted the atmosphere and the burning of oil released greenhouse gases into the air, putting the country into a cycle people wish had ended long ago. Railroads cut through the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains, often slicing through habitats of animals and disturbing wildlife, especially with the dynamite-fueled track building of Chinese immigrants. Big businesses generally took more than they gave back, leading to very greedy, closed-minded desires for most of America at the

Though the industrial revolution brought many gifts, it came with grave consequences. The first is that fossil fuels, the primary source of fuel for most machinery, produce large amounts of Co2, which is pumped into the atmosphere. Co2 is harmful both to the human body and the ecosystem; Co2 depletes the ozone layer, which contributes to global/ocean warming and glacial melting. A lot of people do not fully understand the immanent threat this poses to the earth, this is because it is commonly misunderstood or the information is out of date.

The industrial revolution in the 1800s enhanced the lives of the American citizens. No longer were cultivation and farming a chief concern; instead, manufacturing and machinery were the major improvements of that time. Still today, big corporations are looking for the next big thing that could aid citizens in their everyday lives. What is often ignored, however, are the environmental factors that are being affected by the decisions made by these industries. Harmful acid rain, smog, and buried nuclear wastes diseased the Northern continent where some places were deemed uninhabitable to the public because of the threatening health risks. Environmental laws and agencies were then created in the 1970s to shift the impact that corporations have on the environment. The unchecked power that big corporations have exhausted has enhanced the decline of environmental stability and initiated many territorial restrictions due to the careless actions of the company.

In this brief paper, we have discussed two elements of industrialization that positively affected American lives and two elements of industrialization that negatively affected American lives. One of these negative elements was the employment of children in the industrial arena. The second negative aspect was that the roots of our environmentally challenged society stemmed from the Industrial Revolution.

The Industrial Revolution was arguably the largest turning point in the history of the interaction between people and nature. New manufacturing techniques allowed for a rapid increase in the power, capability, and convenience in lifestyle for humans. Unfortunately, immense consequences for the environment also started to result. The changes were particularly significant in North America at this time, since advanced lifestyles had not been around long enough to make an impact on the vast wilderness compared to many of the areas in Europe. In the United States, a sense of limitlessness toward so many resources represented the view of the majority, and overall appreciation for and connection

Not only does it affect our agriculture, but it affects our health and way of living. Overconsumption has a profound effect on greenhouse gas emissions, the impact of society’s high standards and wants has created new childhood morbidities and health issues. Chronic childhood diseases are linked to toxic chemical exposures produced my production companies. Steingraber explains how one in eight children are born prematurely, which is costing $26 billion per year in medical cost (par. 20). Preterm birth is linked to air pollution and particles produced by power plants. Preterm birth is not the only health issues linked with pollution, but neurodevelopmental disorder and asthma is also linked to air pollution. These health issues now appear almost normal or inevitable. The issue at hand is that we do not identify, nor do we amend the issue that is causing cancer and other health

The Industrial Revolution helped to improve the technologies of America, but these technologies had an opposite effect on our environment.

Finally, we come to industrialism. Industrialism is the most recent strategy in how humans are interacting with their environment. Whereas in the past were we needed to go out and hunt and gather for ourselves, we now can go to the store and pick up a one pound bag of frozen chicken breasts without a second thought. In the past you would have to either hunt the chicken, or herd the chicken, and then kill them and prepare them for being eaten. Now they come ready to be cooked, pre-gutted, with all of the feathers removed, and skinless. We have modern technologies that make life much more comfortable.
