warming is methane leaks (McKibben). Methane traps heat more effectively than carbon dioxide. It also escapes if it is not used right away, and America is largely leaking methane. Since 2002, United States methane emissions have risen 30%. Ranches and wetlands are boosting methane emissions. There is not very much the world can do about methane, but it is a major contributor to global warming. The largest health risk in the environment in the world is air pollution (Adams 963).

There are invaders coming to homes all over America. They are causing damage to entire ecosystems and they can spread to new areas very rapidly if the issue is not dealt with now. These invaders that are destroying our native plants and ecosystems are known as invasive species. Invasive plant species are a problem all over the United States and many people fail to realize it. These invaders can cause huge amounts of damage to native environments. More people need to be made aware of the problem

One of the largest geographic physical structures in the United States is the Colorado River. Human activity and its interaction with this great river have an interesting history. The resources provided by the river have been used by humans, and caused conflict for human populations as well. One of these conflicts is water distribution, and the effects drought conditions have played in this distribution throughout the southwestern region. Major cities such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego

When many hear about a lemur, they immediately think of the movie Madagascar and the fun loving role that is played by the lemur King Julien; similarly, when hearing the name Madagascar, many think of the land of the lemurs.

Nature designed Florida to be one large marine ecosystem. Florida is one big sand peninsula located below the 40th longitudinal North American line. Three bodies of salt water (Gulf of Mexico, Strait of Florida and Atlantic Ocean) surround three out of four directions of Florida. Man-made canals, natural lakes, rivers and estuaries are confined within the State of Florida’s physical boundaries. All of these form an interlocking system of waterways that impact the interconnected marine environment

minerals and organic matter are removed. Erosion causes sediments and pesticide and fertilizer residues to pollute nearby waterways ( Wiley, 2009). What is the purpose of soil reclamation? To undertake soil reclamation, erosion protection, Site restoration and reinstatement, taking into account natural processes, operational requirements and technical feasibility, to
