Environmentalism

Environmental justice is very ambiguous term as it denotes the need for not only environmental sustainability but also social liberation. Regrettably, not every citizen, politician or business owner is apprehensive about our wilting global environment. To this very day, there are scholars and politicians that contend that climate change and global warming is the rhetorical vehicle for which liberal propaganda can be transported. Consequently, these same leaders in their lofty positions deny that

The Pesticide Epidemic Pesticides are all around us. They have become so engrained in our society that we really don't notice them anymore. They are used on virtually all of our fruits and vegetables as well as on things such as the cotton used to make our clothing. There are hundreds of unregulated chemicals being used on our products everyday with no repercussions on those that use them (“The Problem”). This cycle of unregulation and serious consequence is a dangerous precedent that must be addressed

The phrase “health care greening” is the process of changing the way hospitals use medical equipment, so that it has a less harmful impact on the environment we live in. Our reading states “health care greening is the process of redesigning medical technologies and architecture, resetting clinical priorities, and reinventing the health care delivery system into something more environmentally sound and sustainable” (Jameton, 2013, p. 300).

Environmental pollution is an enormous problem in the United States. Environmental pollution is a substance that is harmful or poisonous to the environment. Air pollution, water pollution, thermal pollution, and soil pollution are major types of environment pollution. Pollution is linked to some of the most deadly diseases. “Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas which is poisonous at high levels. CO bonds with hemoglobin more easily than oxygen, so that it reduces the body's ability to deliver

Light pollution is not just affecting large populated cities. Light pollution is happening here at Milligan College. Students are unaware of this problem because they do not know what light pollution is and how it’s a problem. Students already have plenty of worries, whether it has to do with their academics, sports, social or family relationships and even income problems. Nonetheless, students at Milligan should be aware of light pollution and the effects it can have on each individual. Joshua Filmer

The article I choose was “Common Insecticides May Be Linked to Kids' Behavior Problems” by Lindsey Konkel and Environmental Health News and the reason why I choose this article because I find the human brain interesting and I like learning about different chemicals and the effects that chemicals can have on the brain.

A baron wasteland, on a desolate planet, where we are expected to survive on rations by our controlling government. This is the dystopian future we read about in books, and see in Hollywood films, but the SEA club on campus is trying to make this gloomy picture our future an idea left in the past. The Students for Environmental Action or the SEA club, which meets every Wednesday from 1:30pm to 2:30pm in the Index Hall room 101, are not only learning how to become more sustainable in a ever changing
