University Of Central Florida Arboretum Case Study

I have attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh for the last two years. I will be entering my junior year pursuing a Bachelor Degree of Science with a major in Environmental Studies. My career interests entail green energy and natural resource management. I was a young child when I started attending a summer camp program that emphasized nature and environmental conservation—ever since I have made outdoor activities into hobbies and continued interest in environmental sustainability. The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh focuses on sustainability through green building, alternative and solar energy, and curbing pollution.

Now thats hard work and detication. The article states, "The engineers worked throughout the winter measuring, designing, and drawing." This took a lot of hard work to complete the building by spring. This is why intelligence and pysical strength is such an imortant roll in working together to create something big and by being able to get it done in time.

The pursuit of knowledge helped me love books and which brought me to Creighton University. Since my childhood I was eager to learn as much as possible, specifically the environment. I was fascinated about wildlife and how beautiful it looked. Being a native from Nairobi, Kenya; I was able to go to the safaris and learn about the different animals. These are the memories which I vividly remember and keep close to me. When I went back many years later, I was disappointed to see how my city has changed. This was disheartening because the city didn’t change for the best. This caused me to go for a minor in Sustainable Energy. The Energy department at Creighton is being cut back on and is limiting our class options to learn. Northeastern University

Astonishing, stunning, remarkable, spectacular, phenomenal: All words to describe my experience attending agriculture and biology related activities on college campus this past month. When I was assigned this assignment, I thought there would only be a few events to choose from, but after looking at the potential activities I could attend, I was awestruck by how many events that were held on campus. Little did I know that there so many opportunities for me to get involved in college. This engagement assignment helped me become more comfortable on campus and more familiarized with what is happening on campus. Three events I would like to highlight in my experience are the Ag. and Bio Ice Cream Social, SDSU

After a 6 month investigation done by the TV network fusion they have come to a conclusion and released a scholarly article, that Miami Gardens Police Department has been using strategies that were Unconstitutional. With a act that was the Zero Policy Act (ZPC). The City of Miami Gardens seemed to be depriving African Americans of their 4th Amendments by stopping and frisking at will all. After going through 30,000 pages of field contact reports from the city of Miami Gardens Police Department they founf that “BLACK MALES” between the ages of 15 and 30 according to a Police Officer who was told to do so by their sergeant. Miami Gardens has a population estimate of 110,754. And it is 20 square miles. 99,800 total “Stop & Frisks” that did not

During the campus tour, hearing students talk about learning labs and project teams highlighted an exciting atmosphere of a collaborative, impassioned pursuit of knowledge. Watching the Dragon Day parade or reading about CUAppDev’s exploits were reassuring testaments to learning at Cornell as an innovative, fun, and symbiotic experience. Akin to the spirit embodied by organizations such as the Cornell Public Service Center, it’s here that I hope to utilize my education in service to the community. At Cornell, I’m confident my aspirations will help make others’ dreams come true,

Sherway Gardens is the premier fashion and lifestyle destination in Toronto's west end with over 200 upscale shops, including Holt Renfrew, Apple, Le Creuset, Coach, and Lego. Refuel at Parisco or Pickle Barrel Grand, two of the restaurants within the mall, or stop by the food court so you can grab a quick bite to eat and get back to your shopping

My high school career is coming to an end but Science Park really represented what the city of Newark is all about. It disconnected us from the negative images that are associated with the city and helped us grow as individuals. Being put into classes with people from different

In 1827 Patterson, NJ, the upper class repressor opened up shop right on the toes of the lower class. What follows is a town-wide rejection in the shape of open attack upon the Forest Garden.

The U.S. Botanic Garden is a living plant museum which was originally built between Pennsylvania and Maryland avenues but it was moved to its current location in Washington, DC in 1933. The U.S. Botanic Garden is a symbol of the dream George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison shared. The U.S. Botanic Garden has been around for more than 200 years and this 200 year old Gardens history will be explained (About Us)(Brief History of the U.S. Botanic Garden)(U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory).

Lewis & Clark was the first college I toured and over ten college tours later, my experience on campus remains crystal clear. All around me I could see the openness and environmental responsibility I strive to maintain in my own life. The combination of academics, student involvement, and well-being I witnessed at Lewis & Clark compels me to want to attend the college myself. In this college setting I would flourish with forward thinking in the setting of Portland, Oregon where I would contribute my dedication, positivity, and environmentally focused spirit. I would work to make the campus better for myself and those around me, inviting others to do the same. However, more than anything, I would try to make people feel welcome because the

The Showcase of Applied Learning is an opportunity for 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Davenport Community School District students to showcase what they have learned about environmental topics such as: water pollution, watersheds, wetlands, ecosystems, invasive species, waste and energy, and is also an opportunity for students to educate others about our personal impacts on local and global natural resources.

For this assignment, I visited the Salt River Fields at Talking Stick and studied the different sustainable practices that take place in and around the stadium. Around the venue there is new vegetation with over 2,000 native plants, and 2/3 of on-site parking lots are

The Angel of Hope is a statue located in Washington Park’s Botanical Garden, in Springfield, Illinois (Volkmann). The statue itself is rather small, only four feet tall. The statute appears to be an angel standing upon a bell-shaped stone base. The bell-shaped base is covered in white carnations. The angel is standing on a bed of white carnations and holding a bundle of them as well.

The Library Gardens complex is an apartment complex located in an area of the San Francisco Bay amid a damp climate, meaning that it is a “highly corrosive environment because of the salt water coming off the bay, and the winds and the fog drive that salt water to the buildings and can cause earlier deterioration of the buildings” (Source 1), that combined with improper waterproofing could have led to extensive dry rot in a fairly new building. No destructive inspections were performed on the balconies of Library Gardens since construction, meaning that dry rot would have been undetectable to nondestructive inspections, which has in turn led to the deaths of six students in the Berkley Balcony Collapse. This is a case of gross negligence, and may even be a case of manslaughter, and “prosecutors could bring charges against Segue [Construction] but also subcontractors, the developer, property owner, management company, and city of Berkley”(Source 2). Experts in construction, property management, and construction law could have prevented this tragedy by taking the proper precautions, facilitating easier destructive inspections through standard setting, and increasing safety regulations. In the case of Segue Construction they have paid out many settlements over the years specifically concerning water infiltration in their balconies, calling into question their expertise and their reputation. This tragedy at Library Gardens was a consequence of improper safety precautions which
