needed resources. Wasted food is a strong loss as a result of wasted water, money and food for others in need. Moreover, food is a considerable loss considering it results in wasted water. In the article titled, “When You Waste Food, You're Wasting Tons Of Water, Too”, it says, “According to the World Resources Institute, an environmental think tank, inside the 1.3 billion tons of food wasted every year worldwide is 45 trillion gallons of water.” Another article titled, “Wasted Food=Wasted Water”
For thousands of years humanity has grappled with understanding the mystery of our existence; questions what our purpose in life is. Some become consumed with the idea of not wasting a second of the time they’ve been given, while others tend towards a more reserved, neutral lifestyle. Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem, “Ulysses,” directly attacks the idleness of a mundane lifestyle while promoting the idea of not letting life waste away through exploration of the life of Ulysses, the mythical greek hero
from a mysterious wasting syndrome. Similar die-offs have occurred before in the 1970s, 80s, and the 90s, but never before at this magnitude and over such a wide geographic area. Pisaster ochraceus and many other species of sea stars have been affected by the current sea star wasting syndrome event. The following paper by Hewson et al. “Densovirus associated with sea-star wasting disease and mass mortality” provides evidence for a link between a densovirus (SSaDV) and sea star wasting syndrome (SSWS)
Quit Wasting Valuable Time and Resources It is vital that present and future generations of school children in American public schools continue to be taught and understand Charles Darwin’s theories about evolution. Battles have been waged by Americans both in and out of the courtroom for generations so that educators may have the privilege to choose appropriate scientific curriculum for our students. If America is to continue to be a leader of scientific research, young minds must be educated
LANDSLIDES Introduction The term ‘landslide’ includes all varieties of mass movements of hill slopes and can be defined as the downward and outward movement of slope forming materials composed of rocks, soils, artificial fills or combination of all these materials along surfaces of separation by falling, sliding and flowing, either slowly or quickly from one place to another. Although the landslides are primarily associated with mountainous terrains, these can also occur in areas where an activity

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE ) found in some white tailed deer. CWD is associated with diseases such as Mad-Cow disease, Scrapie, and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. With well supported evidence it is hypothesized that CWD originated from Scrapie. The causation of CWD is an abnormal form of PrPcwd prion. This prion is a naturally occurring protein found in mammals. Prions lack genome and are highly resistant to degradation. Chronic
The recent discovery of Chronic Wasting Disease positively identified in an animal found on a Wisconsin deer hunting ranch, specialists are beginning to realize the importance of the live Chronic Wasting Disease test. This forces tests to be done randomly throughout the calendar year in every area within miles of a previously infected area. However, this will cost a lot more money than what is put into the funds for researching CWD as of today. The money put into researching CWD is already very expensive
have been large outbreaks in the US and all over the world which has lead to economic losses of various degrees. With current expansion of these diseases vector, a lack of monitoring, and gap of knowledge about these diseases it is only a matter of time before a catastrophic
conservation. I am knowledgeable on this topic due to a considerable amount of scholarly, research, and from firsthand experience within my field of fisheries and wildlife. The diseases I will be sharing with you today include white-nose syndrome, chronic wasting disease, and chytridiomycosis. First, let us look at white-nose syndrome, explaining exactly what it is, how it affects bats, and effects this has on humans. White-nose syndrome is an emerging disease that is highly associated with hibernating
