...creating or making something. In some eastern cultures, there isn’t the hurry seen like we have. They aren’t as concerned for man-made time as they have “not been made conscious of the existence of minutes.” (Huxley, 366) He goes on to say that people living in large cities can live “without being aware of the daily march of the sun across the sky; without ever seeing the moon and stars.” (Huxley, 366) This goes to show that people are too into the passing of time and don’t look at taking time to relax and exist with nature. Another view is that the environment is there so you can reflect on life. In Annie Dillard’s “The Present”, that is the view taken. The water from the creek is seen as something that rejuvenates the spirit and fills the soul with joy. She says that “Trees stir memories, live waters heal them.” (Dillard, 356) Thinking of nature like that would make people want to do more to save the...

...Eco Terrorism Eco-terrorism is the term used to describe the violence in the interests of environmentalists. There have been cases when environmentalists have inflicted damage to the industrial factories, due to the fact that, they cause pollution and other environmental problems. According to Manning (2012), “Eco-terrorism can be defined as the act of violence or sabotage against person and property commits and support animal right activist.” There are some organizations that participate in it, such as, Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and Animal Liberation Front (ALF). These organizations managed to burn down a ski resort and blow up a laboratory among other things. On the other hand, some groups such as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are labeled as eco-terrorists although they do not commit such acts of violence against humans- they do not attempt to injure or kill people, but only provoke people through property. This has led to a debate that touches on whether or not to classify these actions as "terrorist" or not. The FBI has given the environmentalists a definition ‘the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, sub national group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature.’ John Lewis, a top FBI official says, ‘The number one domestic terrorism threat is the eco-terrorism, animal-rights movement.” Eco-Terrorists...

...Mercedes Davis English 091 March 11, 2011 An Open Reader Reading is the foundation of our life. Without reading we would be like lost souls in the world. Everywhere we go and anything we do we have to read; at work, school, driving, etc. People who do not know how to read are limited in life, they cant get a job, and the everyday life would be a struggle. Someone who knows how to read has no restrictions, the sky is the limit for them, they are our lawyers, doctors, and teachers. In Moody’s article “The Joy and Enthusiasm of Reading”, he expressed his love for the unpopular selections, and how he learned how to dissect his readings. Moody also states that nobody will ever be able to tell him how to read, and also believes there is no right or wrong way to read. In Moody’s article “The Joy and Enthusiasm of Ready”, he explains his high school and college reading experiences. He tells us how his, Mr. Buxton, taught him how to analyze Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Mr. Buxton did not give him his own interpretation and made sure Moody noticed how Shakespeare repeated somethings to help Moody come to a conclusion. In eleventh grade Moody’s teacher Mr. Flanders encouraged Moody to develop his own relationship with the Gospels, in his religious studies. Then Moody continued onto college where he read Umberto Eco’s Role of the Reader, where he was introduced to Eco’s “Open Text” philosophy. He also read some of the great European and Latin Americans articles. After his...

...Is Singapore a sustainable World City? SUSTAINABLE CITY - is a city designed with consideration of environmental impact, inhabited by people dedicated to minimization of required inputs of energy, water and food, and waste output of heat, air pollution - CO2, methane, and water pollution. It should meet the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is Singapore’s land use planning and conservation authority with the mission to make Singapore a great city to live, work and play, striving to create a vibrant and sustainable city of distinction by planning and facilitating Singapore’s physical development in partnership with the community. - Singapore’s remarkable transformation from an overcrowded country suffering from a lack of housing, land limitations and poor infrastructure to an environmentally sustainable international business hub is a result of proactive and farsighted planning by URA. - During the 1960s and 1970s, extensive urban renewal projects were undertaken to address the problems of a new nation—overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of proper housing. The critical tasks for the government then were to clear out the slums, provide public housing, and encourage economic growth by creating space for industries, and then to create a vision for our city’s urban landscape that would help Singapore in the long-term - The challenge is to keep pace with the changing...

...“Factories are another cause of pollution, with factories in operation the pollutants that come from them are harmful to not only our air space but the eco system overall” (Robert J. Carson 2016). There have been a lot of factories shut down as a result of this; however it seems that machines continue to take over in place of manual labor jobs in order to cut cost. Industrialization exist solely on the basis of convenience, there is more focus on how to get something done quickly instead of safer. Sprays such a deodorants and various aerosols have an effect on the environment too such as the ozone layer. The various things that I described all help to provide convenience, however this comes at a cost to our environment that we live in as these shorts cuts hurt or echo system. The convenience is great; the realization is that our planet is slowly suffering so there are now stricter regulations that help to control these things. Looking at the ways this impacted the environment, let take a look at the increasing human population. We control a lot of what takes place with the environment, from pollution, to litter, to hazardous chemicals that get released into the air. The more people within the population, the more there will be a need to regulate various things that can cause additional harm to the environment for example, water waste, litter, vehicle...

...Watershed and Eco-Park consists of the La Mesa Dam and an ecological nature reserve site in Quezon City commissioned in 1929 in the Philippines. It is part of the Angat-Ipo-La Mesa water system, which supplies most of the water supply of Metro Manila. The La Mesa Dam is an earth dam whose reservoir can hold up to 50.5 million cubic meters and occupying an area of 27 square kilometers. The water collected in the reservoir is treated on-site by the Maynilad Water Services, and at the Balara Treatment Plant further south by the Manila Water. Both water companies are private concessionaires awarded by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System, the government agency in charge of water supply. It is a vital link to the water requirements of 12 million residents of Metro Manila considering that 1.5 million liters of water pass through this reservoir every day. It is also the last forest of its size in the metropolis. La Mesa Watershed in Quezon City is the primary source of drinking water of about 12 million Metro Manila residents. The property is owned by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), a government agency. La Mesa Watershed is 2700 hectares, 700 hectares of which is the reservoir and 2000 hectares of which is the surrounding forest. This forest is the last remaining one of its size in Metro Manila and serves as its carbon dioxide sink. La Mesa Watershed, therefore, is vital to the city, not only because it is a primary source of drinking water, but also...

...minerals are removed from seawater so that it can be used safely as drinking water both for human and animal consumption. This water can also be used for irrigation or in industries. The need for desalination? Desalination is needed where there is a shortage of natural drinking water due to a lack of water that comes about through rainfall. This is especially so in the Middle East which lies in one of the driest regions of the world. These places with low or no rainfall need to rely on other forms of water provision. It is for this reason that seawater is used to provide the water that is necessary for drinking, irrigation and industries in the Arab World, and especially so in the UAE (Al Serkal, 2007). 2.Desalination in the UAE: Methods/Processes of desalination There are many methods in which desalination can come about. One of these methods is the multistage flash (MSF) process. Despite the high cost it has a high production output. This MSF plant can also be coupled to a heat source and so produce power as well (Al-Sheyji, 1998;Hamed, 2004). The MSF process (in use for more than 40 years) because of its simplicity, reliability and huge output capacity, is used the most in the region and the UAE (Hamed, 2004). Distillation and the reverse osmosis (RO) processes are main features of the MSF method of desalination. During this process, water is distilled by flashing a portion of the water into steam. This happens in multiple stages through heat exchangers. With the...

...rates * Home * Eco-Friendly Banking * iPhone * Green Bank Deals * Credit Cards * Savings Rates * Checking Accounts * CD Rates What is the Meaning of Green Banking? Posted by Clark Schultz on Friday, September 10, 2010 · Leave a Comment Defining green banking is relatively easy. It means promoting environmental-friendly practices and reducing your carbon footprint from your banking activities. This comes in many forms. Using online banking instead of branch banking. Paying bills online instead of mailing them. Opening up CDs and money market accounts at online banks, instead of large multi-branch banks. Or finding the local bank in your area that is taking the biggest steps to support local green initiatives. Any combination of the above personal banking practices can help the environment. So this leads to the question, which banks are green. In general, online banks and smaller community banks have better track record than larger banks. For instance, take a look at the banks that British Petroleum has been reported to seek lines of credit from this past summer after the oil spill. Goldman Sachs (GS) Citigroup (C) JP Morgan (JPM) Bank of America (BAC) These banks have at least one thing in common. That is, they are all large billion-dollar asset banks. They are also in the group of banks that received TARP money in the government bank bailout program. In would seem common sense to label these banks as not eco-friendly and assume that...

...NOTES ON RWH Context: In a progressive society the demand of water is continuous. India has a unique situation it has the highest rainfall and still areas across India don’t find water after monsoon. In this situation it’s all the more required to recharge the ground water, conserve the soil and increase eco-friendliness. METHOD Rain water harvesting is a simple technique of collection and storage of rain water at the surface or in a sub surface aquifer. (Aquifer: a layer of permeable rock, sand or gravel through which water flows containing enough water to supply wells and springs). Basically saving the rain water from going inside the sea or waste and saving it artificially to recharge the ground water, increase reservoir levels. NEED: Overcome inadequacy, meet demand of people, arrest declining of ground water level, increasing infiltration of soil, improve ground water, increases vegetation and green. ADVANTAGES: Aquifer serves distribution system, no land is waste, ground is not exposed to evaporation, storing water under ground is environmentally friendly, increases productivity, mitigates drought, reduces soil erosion. DESIGN ASPECTS 1. Hydrogeology of the area. 2. Nature and extent of aquifer. 3. Soil covers. 4. Topography depth. 5. Chemical quality of water. 6. PRIME: one of the prime requisite for ground water recharge is basically non-committed surplus rain water runoff. 7. Areas contributing to runoff: Other wise opportunity are...

...Hydraulic fracturing, which is sometimes called fracking, is when water mixed with various chemicals and other things is pumped into layers of slate, causing the natural gases trapped inside to be released and available for use. It is also causing horrible things and needs to stop. If hydraulic fracturing is stopped, the environment will be healthier, and people living near fracking wells will be more secure in their health and safety. One argument against this is that we need fracking to support the growing need for energy. Source #5 describes that now that we are in an age of tech where the world needs more energy than ever, it is possible we could run out of common energy resources. Experts fear that these shortages could trigger a major...

...Toyotas make their cars from a light weight eco-plastic. This is one of the first car manufactures to do this and with their cars being so light it also help maximizes fuel economy and produce low carbon emissions. The Toyota Prius, one of their most energy efficient cars demonstrates the effectiveness of their 360 approach. 95% of the car is recoverable, and 85% of it can be recycled. Toyota was also the first car company to use waterborne paints and is the first UK car plant to achieve zero waste to landfill meaning everything is recycled. Some of the other ways Toyotas have try to decrease emissions are energy optimization. One plant even saves water by putting waste water from the paint shop through a purification system which is then used in the plant’s boilers to generate steam for use on site. Furthermore Toyota are trying to reduce their carbon footprint by reducing transport of goods around Europe. Some of the key areas their trying to improve on are, Keeping mileage as low as possible and finding the best type of transport, whether that be road, train or ship to reduce their. Their also running a pilot program with 16 Toyota centers to measure energy consumption They have done this to try and determine the best way to Cut carbon emissions throughout the company. Some of the solutions they’ve come up with include, using reflector shields to direct workshop lighting to make the most effectively out of the energy saving bulbs. Another idea is to use a system called 'free...
