Many people who want to reduce their ecological footprinthave focused on how much energy is expended (and howmany climate-warming greenhouse gases are emitted) intransporting food from its place of production to its place ofsale. The typical grocery store item is shipped by truck, air,and/or sea for many hundreds of miles before reaching theshelves, and this transport consumes oil. This concern over“food-miles” has helped drive the “locavore” movement tobuy and eat locally sourced food.However, food’s transport from producer to retailer, asmeasured by food-miles, is just one source of carbon emissionsin the overall process of producing and delivering food. In2008, environmental scientists Christopher Weber and H. ScottMathews conducted a thorough life-cycle analysis (p. 400) ofU.S. food production and delivery. By filling in the table below,you will get a better idea of how our dietary choices contribute toclimate change. After measuring mass, energy content, and dollar valuefor each…
Plasmodium is a vector for mosquitos. It is a protozoan that is the causal agent of malaria, which is responsible for killing as many 855,000 people in 2013, the majority of them being children. Populations of mosquitos are strongly influenced by the availability of standing water for egg-laying and larval development. How might mosquito density, and thereby human mortality, be affected by patterns of rainfall?
