Our planet has suffered from a great deal of pollution due to human activities over the ages, especially since the Industrial Revolution in the early 1800s (Changes since the Industrial Revolution, 2017). Pollution occurs when an environment cannot “decompose an element that has been brought to it in an unnatural way” (Amir, 2017). Despite some major consequences that result from this, the human population continues to cause considerable damage, creating 1.3 billion tonnes of rubbish every year (Philp

On the 23rd of March 1989 under the command of captain Joe Hazelwood Exxon Valdez departed the Trans Alaska Pipeline Terminal. What happened the following day was a real tragedy that has lead to years of research and heated debates on how to accurately measure the monetary value of damage done not only to the environment, but also to those who could have come into contact with it. Approximately 11 million gallons of oil was spilled in Prince William Sound, Alaska. (NOAA, 1989) The

Keeping our environment clean is very important, so that we don’t get any health issues. We see people throwing trash everywhere. On the streets, on grass, in water-which is what we drink, and do we know how bad that is for us. Littering causes pollution, pollution causes rain, a lot of rain causes the sea level to rise, which forms hurricanes. Then when a hurricane forms, it destroys our whole community. I’m sure we all can deposit trash into the right place, which is a garbage dump, so let’s please

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS Shell is the largest oil, gas, and energy company compared to Total, Exxon, Chevron, and BP. Shell is very competitive and innovative because they out-think their competition & always change their strategy to be the best. Shell changed their name from Shell Oil & Gas to Shell Energy to set them aside from the competition which was a brilliant move. Peter Voser, the Chief Executive Officer of Royal Dutch Shell stated, “We are delivering a strategy that others can’t easily

White Collar crime is not a crime unto it self, but instead a criteria that has to be met in order for a crime to be considered as White- Collar Crime; (Blount, 2002) hence the reason why Corporate Crime is also considered as White- Collar Crime. At the same time, White Collar Crime and Corporate Crime can be seen as distinct criminological categories, however, in order to reveal this, this essay will firstly be exploring Sutherland's definition of white collar crime and the perplexity with this

Biotechnology and its Applications – Research Notes Topic: Bioremediation Description The world of today is fuelled by fossil fuels. Petroleum products like oil are used for generating electricity, generating light and heat, manufacturing, and vehicle fuels, among numerous other uses. Much of these fuels are extracted from below the Earth’s surface using machinery and technology, some of which may be decades old – but as technology has proven itself to be unreliable at times, accidents such as oil

The Oil Pollution Act was established in 1990 in response to the Exxon Valdez oil spill in March 1989. The Oil Pollution Act placed the Federal Government in charge of management and control of oil spills, control of containment, removal and clean up efforts. This law holds who ever is deemed responsible for the oil spill to pay for the damages, containment, and clean up of the oil spill. In accordance with OPA90, an oil spill must be reported to the Federal Government. Upon reporting the oil

oward the end of January 1991, reports of an enormous oil slick in the Persian Gulf started to surface. Iraqi forces deliberately opened valves at the Sea Island oil terminal and dumped oil from a few tankers into the Persian Gulf in a key wartime move against U.S. powers. The U.S. blamed the Iraqis for submitting "natural terrorism" by deliberately spilling a few million barrels of oil. Organization sources additionally remarked that a flammable strike could be done against the spill, with an

properly and the safety of the crew or the environment would be at stake. Past incidents have happened, like wreckages and oil spills that prompted the Coast Guard to rethink their process of helping design and regulate ships. Arsenault 2 In 1989 the Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in the water’s off the coast of Alaska. Tanker Spills: Prevention by Design, by the National Research Council Staff, discussed how the Coast Guard went to the National Research Council to inquire if alternative designs would

"Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children."    Kenyan proverb.  Solutions are like people, each one is complex as well as different.  Most every part time environmentalist can have a solution to any environmental problem that ails this planet.  That is not to say that they are always right.  Conversely, they are not always wrong either.  Having the solution is the first part, making the solution a reality is the second.  Water pollution
