Persuasive Essay About Hanging Lake

For an entire week, I put my efforts towards conserving as much water as I could. Saving water could include a variety of activities, however, I specifically chose to focus on a few in order to not overwhelm myself, as the act of water conservation can take many forms. The first activity I chose was to refrain from washing clothes for an entire calendar week. The second activity I chose was to take less showers throughout the week. Both of these ideas together, I thought, made up most of my usage of water on a daily basis. Since the majority of my water usage could be boiled down to washing clothes and taking showers, cutting back on these two activities specifically has netted the most benefit in respect to sustainability. The main motivation behind choosing to save water came in the form of my observation of people wasting bottled water in large amounts. I don’t purchase bottled water for this reason, however, for this sustainability initiative, I wanted to see how far I could push the act of conserving water, since I already had been through small instances for years.

The use of chemicals in a school environment cause several issues in not only our health, but our watersheds as well. The chemicals in use in our school are those that cause damage to our health, they cause this damage with ingredients that are not completely user friendly. A watershed is a drainage basin, which is a natural depression in the earth’s surface, usually containing water, and a divider that separates different areas. Here in Colorado we have two main watersheds, but we also have several streams considered watersheds. We are in the Cache La Poudre watershed. A watershed is the transport of different water and it is what is used to drain water into other basins, or oceans or any bigger water masses. It has stream valleys that bring water to other bodies of water, in which evaporate and return to the top. This is a constant stream in which is basically recycling water, so we want to keep the water healthy and ready for us to use. In a certain quote, we understand the dangers of what we do to our watersheds with urbanization,“flooding becomes more prevalent as the area of impervious surfaces increase.” (Perlman, 2016). This quote is saying that the more surface area that was given, such as parking lots, the more runoff comes from our flooding periods. This could be a danger in our school environment, because we use several chemicals as cleaners. I found greener cleaning supplies from not only our current distributor, but one of distributor that

Water is one of the necessities of life. Without it, humans can’t survive. It seems like a basic need that is readily available, as 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. However, many people lack a source of clean drinking water, and this number as well as the number of people who die due to not having clean water is rising. According to the Natural Resource Defense Council, “Less than two tenths of 1 percent of the planet’s water is drinkable, and 90 percent of that goes to uses in buildings, including flushing toilets.” Therefore, only a miniscule fraction of the water of the water on Earth is available for drinking. In addition, the average American uses 2,220 gallons of water per day, a number out of proportion with the 844 million people who lack access to safe drinking water. While these statistics sound dire, there are ways to solve this problem. The problem isn’t that we don’t have enough water, but how we use the water we have. If we utilize water and the other resources we have access to in an effective way, we can supply the human race as well as other species with sufficient water to survive.

In Alaska, there are villages that do not have gyms that are in good condition and sometimes, it is hard to access. According to Alaska Department of Health & Social Services, 20.9% for all Alaska adolescents and 21.1% for Alaska Native adolescents were engaging in sixty minutes of physical activity every day of the week. The state target is 23.0% and the male adolescents have already exceeded that goal, but beginning in 2011 where the percentage was 28.0%, there seems to be a downward trend because in 2015, there were only 24.7%. In the plan from Healthy Alaskans 2020, speaking with schools will assist students in getting more physical activity time, for example, longer

In the modern age of high-speed internet, self-driving cars and VR it’s easy to forget that some places in the world still don’t have fresh water, let alone plumbing. The average person uses between 80 and 100 gallons of water a day. If you drink the recommended 8 glasses per day that’s only 8 oz a glass, or 64 oz in total. Of those 80 to 100 gallons we use an average of 3 every time we flush the toilet, 5 gallons per minute in the shower, 36 gallons for a bath, 8-27 gallons while doing the dishes, 25 gallons for every load of laundry and another 2 gallons a minute if you’re doing any outdoor watering or filling a kiddy pool. By using a newer toilet, you can reduce the gallons per flush to about 1.6 gallons, and when using a water saving shower head you can reduce your use to about 2 gallons per minute. This may not seem like much of a difference, but it can make a big impact.

The one thing humans need on this planet to survive is water. If we need water to survive, then why are polluting it? Most of our nation’s waterways are in terrible condition because of the pollution in the water. Water pollution not only can cause illnesses, but also deaths for humans. Humans aren’t the only thing that water pollution causes harm to. It is also hurting our ecosystem. Humans are the leading cause of most water pollution. We keep throwing wastes into the water making the water unsafe for humans to drink. Scientists are coming up with ways for humans to decrease the amount of wastes they are putting in the water. We need to stop polluting the one thing that keeps us alive.

Finding ways to keep students interested in schoolwork and increasing their cognitive abilities has been a constant struggle for teachers. It is common knowledge that when a child’s interest wanes, it becomes harder for them to learn and retain knowledge on the subject. One tool that can be used to combat this issue would be the use of an outdoor classroom or learning outdoors. During the late 60’s and 70’s outdoor education was highly recommended in curriculum guidelines to enrich educational experiences, but later declined in the 80’s (Eaton, 1998). Today, outdoor education only plays a small role in children’s education experiences, despite the benefits it could provide. Teachers should take advantage of outdoor education to increase children’s cognitive skills, provide physical and emotional benefits, and decrease the bio phobia many children seemed to have developed.

It has no taste, no smell and no color. We find it in tanks, ponds, wells, rivers and springs. Almost three-fourth of the earth is water. Millions of years ago human beings used water for all rare reasons. Up till now people don't appreciate how precious water is. Saving water at home does not require any significant cost but there are many ways we can save water through our actions.

Have you ever wondered what would it be like to be a fish in the sea? Well it won’t be so great if humans continue at this rate in damaging the ocean. Many companies, and whole countries, are starting to allow mining and industry in many areas of the ocean. Also, overfishing is a humongous problem in today's oceans; it has killed many species. People must stop doing this much damage to animals species or their habitats, from mining; this could result in a shortage of fish and eventually running out of minerals and medicines that we currently get from the oceans, thus could lead to global disaster in the future.

Money is nothing more than a governmental structure where people are forced to accept the fact that a thin slip of paper holds essential value. For instance, to society, water and gold have two different values, as well as two different functions. Although water is a sustenance, gold is somehow worth more. If humans had no concept of value, we would be less intelligent than monkeys, because even they can understand the difference of value between food and dirt. Different countries have created their own form of currency, the modern dollar bill being created by the United States government. Therefore, the government has the ability to do whatever they wish because they can print more paper money, and ultimately devalue the dollar any time they want.

Have you ever gone a few hours without water? For some, the thought of not having water an arms length away which just seems to deepen one's thirst which you can’t seem to shake it off your mind until you have your next fresh sip ensuring your survival for another day. For some people around the world this is an actual problem they face daily meanwhile there are others that forget that water is a finite source as they have no lack of it. This is where inequality starts to segregate people over basic needs that every person requires on a daily basis as a means for their wellbeing and enjoyment of life. This inequality is something to be corrected as Frances Moore Lappe,Bruce Jennings et al., and the people of Cochabamba have striven for, as they believe that we need to treat people with respect and dignity instead of treating them as consumers worth the limits they can afford. We need to move the value we put on water to the people who need it. This would bring together communities for food and water awareness of a healthy and balanced diet and other sustainable practices, and it could also gradually reduce a fraction of carbon emissions as it would cut short the distance between the farm and one’s home. Measures or incentives should be into place that help water be used as efficiently as possible such as by recycling water and limiting water use to stave off farming from less developed locations which could raise the prices on the locals in that area.

An hour in and I absolutely regret my decision to go white water rafting. I went on vacation with my boyfriend Mitchell’s family to Colorado. We stayed in a large condo that was located in Colorado Springs. We had places to go every day and today we decided to go white water rafting. There was eight of us that went, Gene, Lori, Andrew, Mitchell, Shane, Jenna, Trenna, and I. It was an early morning, we had to get up at 6:00 am to drive to Royal Gorge Rafting. We packed into the minivan we rented and started the long drive.

Upon journeying up Emory Peak in Big Bend National Park, Texas, my nineteen-year-old self was anxiously determined to successfully get to the top of this large mountain. My brother, my girlfriend and myself were certain we acquired the skills and strength to make it to the top of Emory Peak and back down in a considerably short amount of time. However, the heat was boiling us and it was taking longer than we had initially anticipated. We quickly ran out of water for drinking, mistakably did not pack any food or other potential necessities and the clock was ticking. With each step up
