The And Its Effects On The World

However, unlike the Box Tops for Education program, The Tom of Maines, “ Green Your School” Fundraiser, healthy relies on the participation of students and teachers to earn money without buying any products. Instead, students and teacher must design creative environmental innovations that’ll promote a healthy lifestyle and living clean to prevent any worsening of the earth. 7 winners are chosen for amazing creations and win up to $25,000 in classroom funding, which almosts equals that amount to the box top program earnings(Tom’s of Maine). The “ Green Your School” program should be a popular program for schools but the Box Tops program is more popular. Its more popular due to being easier for parents to contribute and less time

The two 15 year-olds had originally intended to raise awareness about how the acquiring of palm oil was damaging to the rainforests, and how it was affecting orangutans. Eventually, they found that the very organization that they were part of used the material that was detrimental to the environment. They are still working to limit the use of palm oil to protect the plants and animals of the rainforests, and are a good examples of teen

Many people aren’t aware of how many elephants are killed each year by poachers. These poachers want to kill elephants for their tusks which contain ivory. I believe that elephants should not be poached for the ivory that their tusks contain. The elephant population has decreased tremendously, and in 1997, only about 600,000 elephants were left. Poachers are killing about 35,000 elephants every year, and this should stop right away.

The poachers kill the elephants so that they can cut off the elephants ivory tusks; seventy percent of the demand for the ivory is in China. In 1980, there were one point two million elephants in Africa. At the start of 2014, because of poaching, wildlife officials think there are about five hundred thousand elephants remaining (Elephant Poaching). In 1989, CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) banned international trade in ivory to fight the massive illegal trade. After the ban came into force in 1990 major ivory markets were eliminated. As a result, African elephant populations experienced a decrease in illegal killings, especially where they were protected. Because of this, it allowed some elephant populations to recover. According to the World Wildlife Foundation, in 2014 the total population of African elephants was about seven hundred thousand. In South America, the African elephant population is large and expanding, with more than three hundred thousand within the region. Large groups of elephants are kept in well-protected areas. However, conservative estimates were that twenty-three thousand African elephants were killed by poachers in 2013, and less than twenty percent of African elephant range was under protection (Wikipedia). The article “African Elephant” by Martin Harvey states that

Over 100 students and teachers from around the world gathered for the Algalita 2017 Plastic Ocean Pollution Solutions International Youth Summit Feb. 10-12 in Dana Point, California. The three-day summit activated youth leaders to launch and lead action-oriented solutions to reduce plastic pollution in their own communities.

Elephants are a vital part of the range of animals and plants that Africa has to offer. It is important to protect this variety of life, known as biodiversity. However, the ivory trade is causing the number of elephants in the world to decrease. As many elephants are illegally killed by poachers for their ivory tusks.

To the millions of people who live around the world, elephants may not mean anything special. To the African population and wildlife, however, elephants are a very necessary part of their lives. It is extremely devastating to the individuals and animals who live in Africa that thousands of elephants are being killed each year solely for their tusks. One can argue that the poaching of elephants for ivory is a rather selfish act. As of late, ivory

My school’s Earth Club has been a central part of my life since freshman year because of my understanding of the need for environmental preservation and conservation. While others may see us doing the menial work of collecting the school’s bottles and cans for recycling, we do much more. I and many others have attended multiple environmental restorations/clean-ups, but we also do work at the local level. The club organizes several school clean-ups throughout the year where teachers typically offer some credit or passes to students who help. Our advisor, as a social activist, has also encouraged us to take part in marches meaningful to us because “Earth” Club means more than preserving the environment. It means caring about and considering all

Just imagine life without any elephants, wiped out just like the dinosaurs. In the early 1980’s, there were more than a million reported elephants in Africa. Tragically, during that decade, 600,000 elephants were destroyed for ivory products. Today, conceivably no more than 400,000 elephants remain across the continent. Elephants are facing a very real threat of extinction; In fact, the African elephants are listed on the

    The Illegal Animals Trade is where people pay a high price to have a Sumatran Elephant in their zoo. When these Elephants are not in the wild,they are not producing babies, so the population is decreasing. Next, poaching is a big factor in why they are becoming extinct. People are hunting these Elephants for their tusks. Even though this type of Elephant’s tusks are smaller than others, the ivory is a big profit

Thousands of elephants die every year, killed by poachers for their valuable ivory. There are less than half the elephants today than there were a decade ago. Levels of poaching and illegal ivory trade have spiralled out of control once again. (Born Free Foundation) Between 2009 and June 2014, elephant poachers sold almost 170 tons of ivory. I believe we should take action to stop the poachers, and save the elephants. Countries all over the globe have taken many tons of illegally poached and sold ivory since 1989, when a ban on international trade and selling of ivory was created. Many countries have destroyed their illegal ivory in a public display. Despite current laws working to stop the ivory trade, IFAW believes that no ivory (even ivory

The teeth get small and brittle so, then they can not eat and therefore they die off eventually. The main reason they die is poaching for their tusks which bring tons of money. Each year ivory trafficking and poaching, kill at least 35,000 each year and according to The Wildlife Conservation Society about 800,000 African elephants have been killed over the last three decades and around 1,000 African elephants were killed between 2010 and 2012. The poachings main reason is to get their tusks to sale on the blackmarket for a lot of money. The older elephants with large tusks are becoming harder to find because of the black marketing

Currently, many schools follow a typical science curriculum with a little focus on our effects on the environment beyond the Earth Day focus. As mentioned above, this non-profit organization aims to educate students about the watershed, caring for the environment, the origins of food, and about the animals’ diversity in our local environment. The description of these programs demonstrates meaningful application of the concepts introduced, continued opportunities for usage, and their true desire to positively affect the education of these students. Not only would the trash free environment approach teach young students about environmental awareness and responsibility, but the other programs would support the known science

The apparently overpowering Roman Empire was guaranteed to collapse soon after the numerous characteristics that made Rome such a prevailing kingdom started to deteriorate away. Rome was the focal point of the biosphere and the thought that such a universal supremacy could decay was disregarded. It was not manufactured in twenty-four hours; therefore, it could not be demolished in twenty-four hours. The spectacular metropolis failed for countless reasons, however there are only a couple key explanations that directed to its diminish. These reasons were the most important part of society, so it explains a lot but it was, Political, economic, religious, and neighboring militaries that were the most important influences that steered to

The entirety of the story was written from the perspective of the “surrounding farmers” from Animal Farm. When the computers were created, the scientists wanted to use them as a tool to contain knowledge. However, they overthrow the initial leaders and dominates the government which parallels to the expulsion of Chiang Kai-Shek from mainland China. Although the initial leader is not physically active in the story, they are presented throughout some of the major events demonstrating their opinions on the issue and what they would have done in similar situations. For instance, in frame eight the machines decided to improve their system of governance to one that involves human morality and consciousness as complete demolition of human
