We Must Save The Garbage Dump

The first is that humans needs and natures needs are two separate issues. The idea that they're not irrevocably intertwined is inane, because we want the environment to thrive so that we can continue to exploit it. The second misconception is our reliance on technological advances that may or may not happen to save the environment. This diamond implies is a foolish thing to do, as many monumental issues are all waiting to be fixed with technology that isn't coming, or that if it does ever come, it won't be an instantaneous thing. Third and finally, is the perception that those who fear for the environment are fear-mongers, doom-sayers, and rabble rousers. Their cries of warning falling on deaf ears because the effects of environmental damage has yet to reach the public. While the citizens of America may not feel the effects, there's a great many third world countries that do and are. Places where overpopulation and famine are rampant are prime spots for wars, terrorism, and emigration which then spreads the very same problems to other

The Earth itself is being neglected and abused by thoughtlessness and waste products of American Feed corporations. There is so much pollution that the atmosphere and Earth are being destroyed. This is a world hit by environmental disasters, the severity of which can only be read between the lines. There can only be synthesized clouds now that the atmosphere will not allow actual clouds to form and is not able to support natural weather patterns. This is a world where living creatures can no longer reproduce without assistance. And this is a world where startling

We have spent hundreds of years ruining the planet and to be honest most people don’t care. The world that we live in today is more concerned about the best looking car rather than the car that is best for the atmosphere. They don’t take the time to recycle because they don’t care where the materials end up and quite frankly it’s been going on like this for a long time, all the way back to grandparents and great grandparents. If you are raised in a family who doesn’t necessarily care about global warming and what’s happening to the earth then the cycle is going to continue and in the blink of an eye the entire planet will be in shambles. People are losing their farms because of the increase of heat in the northeast. Increased storm surges are affecting the productivity of crops and forests in the southeast region and the list goes on. But even the people who are being affected directly may not be concerned about the bigger issue. One person cannot save an entire planet so even if everyone in our class is blown away by this research and chooses to change their lifestyle in order to help the earth, it still won’t be enough to undo all the damage that has already been

So many amazing people spoken stories about this beautiful earth so let's not make the next one a tragedy.The People remain at fault so they should care a little bit more than they do and not hide from it since everyone has to deal with it.Global warming is destroying habitats of animals that lived on this planet longer than we . also the reason for climate change and why places are hurting in bad weather. If any of this could go any further, it could bring living organisms to extinction, including us.

My main focus would be the children who are suffering from the lack of a stable home and three meals a day. There needs to be steps taken to mobilize individuals to assist in the work to improve the lives for the children who are suffering due to the lack of sufficient food and housing. I would also work with individuals who want to get the information out to the public. There needs to be a portion of the organization who primarily deals with advertisements and contacting the government officials who could assist in making the organization prosper.

“We feel helpless in the face of our knowledge, and we’re not sure we want to know anything more,” (Steingraber 674). Due to the fact that this crisis has multiple causes, those who accept the responsibilities that go along with solving this environmental issue feel as though their to-do list is never done, filling with one problem after another. Often times these activists begin to feel helpless. There isn't just one cause of the problem but multiple. Sandra Steingraber stated “the environmental crisis is actually two crisis, although they share a common cause. You could view it as a tree with two main branches,”(672). She understands that it isn't just one single problem but multiple problems with the same cause. People may fix one “branch” but they don’t realize that there are other “branches” that needs to be

The biggest thing I took away after reading this book is the extent of the harm that we are doing. The authors describe how in 2007 the Northwest passage was navigable for the first time in history. This stood out to me, because it was humans who caused this to be possible, and not in a good way. This means the environment was much warmer, which caused the ice to melt. This is not only bad for the environment in general, but it is also taking away homes of the animals that populated the area. The book goes on to explain how for business and economics, this was viewed as the opportunity for oil and gas exploitation (Oreskes 2014). In my opinion, this is where the problem stands. People focus on the present and how they can better their own lives in that moment. They are not worrying

about global warming you should honestly take this book and read it. It has opened up

Each Friday, my family takes out their trash to be picked up and hauled off to who knows where, and every other week the same goes for our recyclables. But how much is truly recycled, and how do we fare against other countries? We, as Americans, should learn from across the pond and recycle more of our waste instead of throwing it away to a landfill.

One quote that particularly stuck with me throughout the book Changing Planet, Changing Health was on page 223: "Spend enough time pondering climate change, and the magnitude of the challenge can begin to overwhelm anyone. There's a daunting array of numbers and trends, choices and consequences. Much of what we do as modern humans contributes to the problem, little by little by little.” This resonated with me strongly for many reasons. One reason is that I’ve been ignoring climate change, and I’ve noticed most of the population do the same. Climate change is often pushed to the back of minds because it’s daunting. The book describes it as “overwhelming”, and there’s no better word for the feeling of this inevitable disaster that really is not inevitable, but will never be prevented by mankind due to our greed and selfish. And when I say ‘our greed’, I do include myself. I am without a doubt wasteful, it would take 4.8 Earths to sustain my lifestyle, according to an Ecological Footprint activity. That’s a large quantity of resources that I did not even know I used.

There is an issue on this planet that will define this generation. The issue is climate change. Global warming. A world on the collapse as our oceans are acidified, our air polluted, our forests disappearing, and human rights issues getting worse. It seems that people are not aware of how big climate change actually is. It’s not something that only takes place on the ice caps or in the forests on the far corners of the world. This is an issue that happens here, and now. It’s real. It’s happening.

We as a society have reached one of the most crucial time periods in the history of our world. Due to the way we have used the resources on this earth we have created a situation in which our climate is drastically changing. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil has caused gases like carbon dioxide to become trapped in the atmosphere causing a natural greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect has caused the earth’s average temperature to rise and has resulted in arctic glaciers melting. These glaciers had gases trapped inside them that are now being released into the atmosphere further raising the earth's temperature. Due to the way we are polluting our air we have caused global warming. This global warming has caused stronger natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires putting our society in more danger than ever before.

Imagine a community, The Orchard, in which there is only one source of trash collection and the sole manner of getting rid of trash is to dump it down a communal sewer. Every individual living in The Orchard has access to the sewer and can utilize it as mush as the desire. A problem arises however when a member of this society realizes that the sewer has reached capacity. Due to this concern, any additional trash will overflow into the community’s crops and contaminate their agriculture. The leader of, The Orchard, decides that responsibility for this excess of trash needs to be allocated accordingly so that efforts can be made to reduce the amount of pollution. Once individual responsibility is determined it would be easy for the leader

The Earth is a dynamic, constantly changing environment in which the hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere all interact. When one changes slightly the change is then felt through out the spheres. Humans need to understand that the change they cause can have a potential for a disastrous affect on the environment. From injecting the atmosphere with greenhouse gas, or deforestation, all the unnatural things done to the environment will have an unnatural affect that will have to be dealt with. We as humans have a moral responsibility to reduce global warming gasses by changing our modes of transportation, to stop deforestation, and increase government funding into research to inhibit global warming for
