surprising array of other materials. Lead, for example, has one of the highest recycling rates because of laws requiring the recycling of lead-acid batteries. Segregating items for recycling from other waste is important. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, recycled lead accounts for almost 90 percent of the lead used in manufacturing today. Reduce by being a wise consumer and determine what products you buy will help not hurt the environment. Reducing means to cut down on how much stuff we use

Williston, North Dakota…………………………………….11   ABSTRACT Our society has faced two major energy related problems since the Industrial Revolution. The first is where our future energy resources are going to come from. The United States both consumes and produces an immense

known if we passed the peak or not. For example many oil companies and government are untrustworthy about the amount of oil reserves there are, and the estimated difference on how much we can extract based on how much oil there is. Also, a U.S geological survey report shows that there are about 2 trillion barrels of oil left in the world and not 1 trillion. Developed countries such as the U.S continue to use this limited supply of oil because their demand is increasing rather than a developing country

and Westward Expansion Thesis: The transcontinental railroad greatly increased Westward expansion in the United States of America during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The history of the United States has been influenced by England in many ways. In the second half of the 1800's, the railroad, which was invented in England, had a major effect on Western expansion in the United States. "Railroads were born in England, a country with dense populations, short distances between cities

don’t have a map, you can just hold up your hand and point. For those of us born and raised in Michigan, it seems like a completely normal thing to do. The shape of Michigan is really unique, with two separate peninsulas to tell the story of how our state was shaped into the land we see today. Water has been the predominant factor in shaping Michigan, starting with glaciers over ten million years ago, to rivers, rain and lakes that still shape it today. Water

In 1992, The Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act of 1992 authorized the US Federal Government to acquire the hydroelectric power projects of Elwha Dam and Glines Canyon Dam, where are located on the Washington State for demolition for habitat restoration and decommissioning. The dam removals began in 2011 and finished in 2014. I wondering that why government decided to remove the dam and what happens in Elwha River after dam removal. In this paper, I write about the following topics:

Due to rapid population growth and unsustainable development, the demand for resources has vastly increased and isn’t slowing down. The problems with unsustainable development are far and wide, the focus of this paper will be in the water sector. From the extraction of water to the consumption of water, and everything in between – water quality and quantity are being compromised in order to achieve financial goals and success. Conservation goals and practices are in the wrong priority order. Most

BSTRACT: Water is a critical resource in the lives of people who both benefit from its use and who are harmed by its misuse and unpredictability (flooding, droughts, salinity, acidity, and degraded quality). Water is a finite and vulnerable resource. Consequently, consumption of polluted water puts lives and livelihoods at risk because water has no substitute. There are many ways in which water intended for human consumption can get polluted. These include wastes from industries like mining and

The Glaciers of Yosemite National Park One of nature's most powerful and influential forces is also one of nature's coldest and slowest processes. These great icy rivers are called glaciers and have formed some of the most beautiful scenery on this planet. These enormous frozen bodies of water are often thousands of feet wide and deep and many miles long. They cover millions of acres of land and drastically change the land into beautiful mountains with many amazing features. One of the areas

In a brilliant political move David took over the Jebusite city of Jerusalem and made it the capitol of the new United Kingdom of Israel “thenceforward to be honored as the City of David” (2 Samuel, 1997, pp. 505-555; Eban, 1999, p. 47). Moving the capitol to Jerusalem was an ingenious move on David’s part since it placed him geographically between the northern
