Pascua Lama Project

Barangaroo is an ambitious urban renewal project happening currently in Sydney. Since its approval in 2007, the Barangaroo project has been the focal point for groups such as Lend Lease to reestablish Sydney’s mark in the world. The project embodies urban efficiency and environmental sustainability (named as being “climate positive ”) with world-class architecture/design. Barangaroo is a historically prevalent landmark of Sydney with Aboriginal associations of the Cadigal people. Primarily being used as a loading dock for incoming ships, Barangaroo has and will be further transformed into a multifarious region of Sydney with Residential, Tourism and Recreation as the pivotal points of it. The Site will be divided into 3 main sections: Barangaroo South (tourism and retail); Barangaroo Central (Recreation, entertainment) and Barangaroo Point (Grand harbor Park of Sydney).

The subject of analysis in this paper will be the CEQA Project named Murai Specific Plan Project. It has been applied for by ColRich, a San Diego based home developer (“Generations”), to its lead agency, the City of San Marcos. In this paper I will evaluate some of the findings of potential significant environmental effects listed in the initial study, explain why these might have a significant effect, compare them with other projects to reflect on whether these are indeed significant as well as discuss mitigation measures. First, I will give a description of the location of the project followed by a description of the proposed project. I will continue by describing some findings of the initial study.

(Kerin, Hartley, & Rudelius, 2010). These trends normally consist of five sources, social, economic, technological, competitive, and regulatory forces. My intention in this essay is to focus on one; the economic environmental force. I will discuss how the current state of the economy will impact completing an environmental scan. In order to evaluate how the economy will impact the completion of an environmental scan, it is essential to cover the concerns that affect the economic aspect whether people want to believe

Citizen participation in community affairs serves as a check to politicians since it reduces the likelihood of leaders making self-serving decisions. For example, in 3,000 B.C. “half of the land that was irrigated in the Fertile Crescent became saline” due to the overuse of the land. This uninhabitable ecosystem is now forced onto present-day communities because the leaders of that time made rash and unplanned decisions. Such cultural patterns are very dangerous since it leaves no room for population growth, innovations, and natural fluctuations.

The consolidation of Rancho Solano started with the selling of the school to a for-profit company that was already operating several schools both nationally and abroad. Moving from non-profit to for-profit status triggered many changes. The mission of the once small private school changed according to Meritas’ educational goals.

Over the past couple of years, countries and companies alike have taken the steps to ensure their citizens or employees are living an economically friendly lifestyle. This can be achieved by recycling programs, motion activated lights, and producing products with sustainable materials that do no harm to the trees or atmosphere. While countries like the United States and those in Western Europe have the capabilities to achieve this with advanced technology, education, and funds, the more poor countries of Earth still have to surrender themselves to unethical solutions. It is not only businesses in these regions that make these crucial decisions, but the government as a whole. A current example is the Nicaragua Grand Canal that is deciding to

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) play an essential role for sustainability establishing. As Anzecc (1991) mentioned that EIA producers would take a responsibility for issues like improving the efficiency of the contribution made by making sustainability and environmentally decision, which means the government responsible for EIA process which have the power to recommend environmental conditions.

In an attempt to help the ecology of our wondrous desert, I plan to take part in National Public Lands Day held at the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve on September 30, 2017 from 8:00am-2:00pm. According to the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve Newsletter (2017), I will assist in repairing trails, fencing, and signs in the preserve. My first step in this project is to get my proposal approved by Mrs. Zacks, of Yucca Valley High School. Second, I will have to negotiate a plan with my parents to drive me there and back as I cannot transport myself. Third, I will listen to music and enjoy the landscape as I ride to the preserve. Fourth, I will participate in the National Public Lands Day in Morongo Valley. Fifth, upon completion of

The next generation born after WWII realized the impact of the actions of the generation before them and returned to the notion of valuing and protecting the environment, inciting more consideration for the environment on a governmental level. Then in 1969, one of the first big laws for sustainability in NEPA was enacted which required federal agencies to examine to the fullest extent possible the effect of their proposed buildings and infrastructure on the environment. One major part of NEPA was that Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) were to be created for each project that a firm was to participate in, explaining the effects they anticipated the project would have on the environment. These statements were made before the construction of the project began and to be kept in mind throughout the duration of the project. Unfortunately, there were issues with like how they could not “be full and fair if agencies fail to ‘[r]igorously explore and objectively evaluate’ impacts that will be regulated under other environmental laws,” (Langberg,

         My project is going to be, going to the Morongo Preserve.  The date in which I went was September thirtieth from eight AM to two AM. What I did during the project was I cleaned up weeds, and cleared up the hiking trails. How I was able to accomplish this all was getting a waiver slip signed by a parent. Also making sure I had a ride arrangement. The reason why I did this was to help clean up the preserve.

The PolyMet mining project should be immediately halted because it has a sustained life span of two decades, PolyMet is backed by a questionable company, and any contamination to the environment by the project will put the town and its people at a significant risk. Though it will create jobs the town’s people should not bank their success on this

PROJECT CONCEPT: This proposal is for the installation of a 16’x20’ steel picnic shelter, a two-room outhouse, ten parking spaces, and a river access trail at Chena Kiwanis Park, 4525 Chena Small Tracts Road. Parking spaces would be added near the picnic shelter and a 12-foot wide trail would be constructed adjacent to the parking area to allow for hand launching of boats and year-round river access.

Environmental groups, independent researchers and agricultural groups were concerned with the unlimited water use that would dry up aquifers necessary for the agricultural industry in the Great Artesian Basin. Almost the whole of Queensland, Mackay conservation group, and various activists had laid the groundwork for one of the biggest environmental protest movement in the country’s history. The campaign took the fight against Australia’s largest proposed coal mine, to yet another level, beyond the courts, and into a non-violent movement.

The Authors of this Article wanted to shed light on how we as people enact change through public opinion; and how our personal opinions can
