SCI/275 Environmental Science Letters to the Editor (Conservationist) Dear Editor: As is evidenced in recent world news and events‚ taking steps to energy independence is paramount to the continued survival of the United States as a Nation. Growing increasingly dependent on the natural resources in other parts of the world further compounds the possibility for this independence. As a conservationist‚ it is my belief that we as a country can begin to develop the means required to carefully

our environment and the natural resources that make this existence possible. Currently electric for our community is generated by coal and our water is processes by electric. Our fossil fuels are on the brink of extinction‚ making the actions we take now more vital than ever. Creating an implemented plan that changes our current consumption of fossil fuels‚ will perpetuate a cleaner community‚ stabilize eco-systems‚ and provide a future for the generations to come.

Atmospheric Issues SCI/275 August 25‚ 2013 Professor Ed Mata Atmospheric Issues In today’s society there is much pollution that can cause an individual to become very sick or death can occur from the many atmospheric issues such as ozone depletion in our society. There are many things that contribute to ozone depletion in our atmosphere as well as indoor pollution such as radon which can cause certain cancers and certain deaths. There is also a lot of indoor air pollution which can cause

here in Wilhelmville. We as a community are looking for a pesticide to kill these insects destroying our crops‚ however in reviewing information found and presented to us and our council we have a split decision. Below is what we have been presented with by concerned citizens of the community. When presenting this information to the members of the council will assist me and others in our decision whether this is the pesticide that we need to use here in our community. Hazard identification

Marine Habitat Destruction Anita Rouse SCI/275 07/24/2010 Jean-Paul Simjouw‚ PhD Marine habitats are in grave danger due to humans and Mother Nature. Hurricanes‚ typhoons‚ storm surges‚ and tsunamis are factors in which contributes to the destruction of marine habitats and are caused by Mother Nature. Human’s destruction to these habitats is much worse due to the fact that Mother Nature’s destruction is mostly temporary‚ while humans leave more of a lasting footprint on the habitats because

Assignment: Prevention Larry Eckel HSM / 210 June 13‚ 2010 Terri L. Colbert Assignment: Prevention With my target group of children of child abuse‚ the primary level of prevention will be necessary. We need to work with the target population of the “at-risk” group and reach out to them with the proper resources to prevent future issues. Poverty‚ stress‚ job loss‚ family history‚ and mental retardation can all lead to causes of child abuse but no of these should be the excuses for such actions

Final Project: Mitigation and Solution Strategies By: Edward Kowalski Sci/275: Environmental Science David W. Jones April 29‚ 2012 My chosen topic is Energy Conservation. The problem with energy conservation is that our entire technology-driven society is built on the use of fossil fuels. Fossil Fuels are considered non-renewable resources. It took millions of years or the Earth to form the coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas supplies that we’ve been using for about the last 160

fuels.” (Environmental Literacy Council‚ 2008) Oil‚ the leading energy resource depended upon to fuel everyday functions produces 43.4 % of our world’s energy. Natural Gas‚ the second most relied upon resource produces 15.6 % of the world’s energy followed by coal‚ which produces 8.3 % of the world’s energy. Unsurprisingly‚ North America is the number one consumer of nonrenewable energy resources‚ consuming approximately 25 % of the fossil fuels extracted from the earth. (Environmental Literacy Council

During the same time there were many several major environmental events that were occurring. These environmental events include oil spills along southern California’s and Massachusetts coasts. Extinctions of many species were also taking place‚ for animals such as whales‚ song-birds‚ and elephants. James Lovelock
