My Ecology Action Project

Better Parks, Better Future     For my Ecology Action Project, I went to the Morongo Preserve on September 30, 2017. While at the preserve, I pulled weeds and hiked on an educational nature walk. Removing unwanted plants allowed native plants to grow in the park. To avoid hurting my hands, I wore gloves, and then I found areas with pink flags that represented areas with weeds. Next, I pulled them out as close to the ground as possible. After pulling weeds, I went on an educational walk where I learned

Cash in The Trash Bin My ecology action project will be on recycling water bottles and soda cans and cash them in for money to give to my school and church. My mom and step-dad will be driving me around town to pick up cans and water bottles. Numerous stores will also be asked if we will be able to put recycling bins in their stores. All of the bottles and cans will be put together and cashed in every one to two weeks depending on the amount. By doing this action the environment will be a little

that the greatest good is happiness and freedom from pain and suffering. According to utilitarianism only one action is right in the final analysis. The things we do that produces happiness is morally right and the things we do that reduce this happiness is morally wrong. If the rewards are far greater when compared to the eventual rewards of other alternative decisions, than this action would be right. The future and the direct costs and benefits provided by each alternate towards each person need

Before college, I was homeschooled for the entirety of my life. When I tell people this, their initial reactions vary from shock to raw curiosity. “Do you feel like you missed out?” is always the first question, or some variation of it. No, I always reply, without hesitation. My parents gave me the gift of owning my education. It was not spoon fed to me. It was mine to shape and explore, and I did so by pouring through books and scouring the Internet on subjects ranging from classical literature

proven that human action greatly contribute to this issue. The problem that arises from this knowledge is that the majority of people who are most impacted by climate change are not the largest contributors to this phenomenon. This paper will examine how Western society’s actions have led to the degradation of the earth and its climate, and have negatively impacted communities around the globe. Westerners must use the concept of empathy as a source of motivation to change their actions that contribute

Statement: One hour and thirty-two minutes determined what I wanted to dedicate my life to. I was 15 years old when I sat in my oceanography class and watched The Cove for the first time. This chilling documentary inspired me to go to the principle’s office, in the middle of a school day, to call my mom and tell her we needed to go to Taiji, Japan to save the dolphins. Overhearing this call, the principle sat me down with my oceanography teacher, who then told me that there was a field of science with

me, but also the other students in my courses and the university’s reputation. I also understand the reasoning behind the university’s strict policies regarding academic integrity violations, as they are in place to protect the student, the classmates,

As my semester Ecology Project I will be going to teach an elementary school class a lesson on how to preserve our desert environment, as well as how to protect our endangered species of the Mojave Desert. To complete my project, I will need to present my project to Ms. Slayden’s second grade class at Yucca Mesa Elementary School on Monday, October 16. I am presenting this project by bringing in Trifold boards, pictures, and orally presenting most of the information. In addition to presenting

taking better care of the environment so that it can sustain us. Such matters would include stopping the oil pipeline project that the United States has plans for. Scientists and activists actively speak out against the building of such a pipeline as it will have drastically bad consequences for the climate. The fossil fuel industries have tried meticulously to keep the plans in action, paying off an environmental scientist, spying on activists and trying to reverse the president’s decision to veto

Environmentalism and Wilderness Preservation: A Third World Critique" made me think. In analyzing the Western deep ecology movement, he criticized its focus on preservation of wild areas. By doing this, he was directly criticizing what I have long thought of as my main goal as an "environmentalist." One of the first things that turned me on to environmental issues when I was younger was my horror at the soaring rate of rainforest destruction so dramatically portrayed to us in 9th grade biology
