...Global Warming has been a main topic for discussion for many years now. Most people know that the question is whether global warming is a natural cycle or whether it is caused or triggered by human activity. Different scientists have different opinions on this topic and have gone to great lengths in trying to find the most accurate answer. Some say there is a natural cycle out there and that earth’s temperatures increase due to a natural path that is perfectly normal. The fact is that earth left the natural path a long time ago. The past few decades the increase in temperatures all over the world have been way off the charts from years past according to an article by Alex Morales. Temperatures have been skyrocketing and scientists have no other explanation other than to say that human activity is the main cause of climate change to this point. Humans are the main cause of global warming and climate change. It really isn’t hard to see, yet most scientists won’t totally agree on this answer proven many times over. Humans always use nasty chemicals and gases in their basic everyday lives. The main gas is carbon dioxide that is released when humans drive their cars. This was stated in the article, “Final Report: Humans caused global warming”, by David Biello. Anyone can see that there is being a lot of this gas being released up into our atmosphere. This is in turn, is heating the planet at a much quicker rate than normally and making our temperatures rise to levels...

...ENG 170 Lisa Tellor-Kelley November 9, 2015 Mandatory Recycling In The United States. The average American can produce around 1600 pounds of trash each year. If you break that down, that’s about 29 pounds of trash in a week and about 4.4 pounds in a single day. What person wants to live somewhere they are surrounded by trash? If everyone in the United States did their part in recycling then this would not be as serious. Once society makes a stand and work together to solve this, it can be solved sooner rather than later. Sea creatures, wildlife and humans have all been affected by people that do no recycle. There should be a law in the United States that makes recycling mandatory in every state. By people not recycling has made a drastic change in the climate. Trees have been cut down and new resources are in a huge demand because of people not recycling. After the trees are cut down, fuel is needed to transport the trees and to make new paper. When the fuel is being used it gets burned and being released as a greenhouse in the environment. Sometimes, papers do not reach landfills and the papers that do not reach the landfills should be processed. Even if it does reach the landfills, it should remain there until the earth absorbs and processes it. Even though paper disintegrates faster than Styrofoam and plastic, instead of consuming new paper, just recycle the old one paper. Human waste is the reason landfills are so overcrowded. The paper that does not get recycled gets...

...extinction A lot of species are endangered because of global warming and more specifically the Sea turtle, which is the oldest species known in the world (Velaquez-Manoff 2007); it lived during the dinosaurs. Now the change of the climate threatens these species, and if we don’t do something in a hurry, this species will disappear. The increasing temperature (more than 2 degrees these last years) have an impact directly on the turtle’s eggs (Velaquez-Manoff 2007, Brahic 2007). The problem is that more females than males are born; that means the future will be difficult for reproduction. According to WWF (2007), it’s not only the future population which is in peril, because there is also habitat loss and degradation, pollution, disease because of human and marine pollution, and natural predators. As Bhattacharya (2007) said, we need to do something and we can already cut emissions of greenhouse gases, employ new energy efficient technology and use strategies to sequester carbon dioxide from atmosphere. These examples will decrease the effect of global warming, and that is good for the sea turtle. In Bhattacharya’s article, she said that global warming is the change of climate, this is due to all the different activities due to human which increased...

People will be stacked on top of one another and pollution levels will sky rocket. Inevitably mother nature will strike us and there will be many casualties. With dirty melty icebergs the world will soon run out of fresh water to drink and many people will die of dehydration. We will have no other options then to either die on earth or colonize space. It would be a fresh start that the human race so desperately needs. Population- We are at a current world population of 7.5 billion people and it is growing rapidly.

...Bugs: The new super food! Eating gourmet insects can save the planet By Alexander Ørum November 23, 2011, Sunday Times A global solution: Global warming is a worldwide threat to us all, and one of the biggest reasons that it has come this far is the way we eat. Farming dairy and the whole agricultural environment is actually one of the main reasons that we produce all this green house gases. The animals are the cause of this problem, and it also produces a lot of Co2 by feeding and slaughtering them. The world’s population is set to rise above seven billion, and we need a new food source to keep on going. We now have a solution; Bugs! Many people see this as a potential substitute for meat and to the future food shortages. To take a historical view on this, humans actually ate insects before we were able to create tools to hunt animals. It is a bit funny when you think of it, that we now have to go back to the way we lived thousands of years ago because of the way we are destroying our own planet through meat. Nutrition: It can be a problem to get people to eat it; actually we are very conservative when it comes to food, we only eat a handful of the seven million different animals which exist on this planet. But the little ones do have some advantages, they contain a lot of the nutrition we need in a day. It can actually replace meat because of its nourishment. It contains protein, amino acid, fiber, iron, calcium and vitamins. So it’s very healthy for you...

...Let’s save the ‘Mother Earth’ The noble ‘Earth’ has bestowed the human beings with incredible and beautiful nature in the form of mountains, rivers, forests and various natural resources that helped human beings to survive and initiated our evolution. So, now it’s our time to save our planet from the challenges which are threatening the existence of the earth… The life of Human beings originated on the planet Earth .The “Mother Earth” is calling us for her protection. People have become selfish and they are killing the beautiful forests, damming the rivers and making more concrete walls without even realizing that by doing these activities, they are giving invitation to the termination of their own existence. Our earth is burning from both ends as the river beds are running dry. The plants and mammals are like us-living things. The biggest challenge that our earth is facing today is ‘global warming’, the glaciers are melting, sea level is rising, & the climate is changing on a fast pace. So, we must help to save them all. World Earth Day is celebrated all over the world annually on 22nd April. This time; it will be the 40th anniversary of World Earth Day. | Origin It was first launched by honest efforts of the US senator Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1970 from Wisconsin along with Denis Hayes as the main organizer of the activities for the grand event.

...awareness, reduce buyer’s remorse, and builds rapport for strong lifetime partnerships. Social responsibilities are a cross cultural platform that can be both positive and negative, adversely affecting people, planet, and profits. (Forbes 2015). People Socially responsible individuals are demanding companies and organizations to become more socially responsible at home and in the workplace. For instance, employees are warned of images that they portray, post that they write on social media sites, and pictures that they post may jeopardize their career if they are perceived as inappropriate. Some say it is a violation of freedom of speech but one can agree that we are all responsible for our own actions. Individual social responsibility is about an individual becoming responsible in their actions that have effect on communities outside their immediate circle. This responsibility includes active engagement towards the community where you live and active participation in solving local problems. People have an individual social responsibility take part in the development of their community and workplace in different ways. For example, you take part in cleaning the streets in your community, maintaining a recycle program, take part in organizing an event that is connected to the history of the city or town in which you live. People can also instead this opportunity to acquire corporate involvement...

...place where the majority of the energy finally escapes moves higher, these higher levels are much colder and so they do not radiate heat very well. The rate that radiation escapes to space is lower, and the planet will take in more than it radiates. As the higher levels emit some of the excess radiation downwards, the lower levels will warm all the way down to the surface. The imbalance will remain until the higher levels get hot enough to radiate as much energy back out as the planet is receiving. Though all natural processes, they are not always helpful. On the other side of the spectrum, we as humans are not always helpful to the processes. Because of this, we find ourselves at a time of question. What are we doing to our planet and how will it affect us? Many are attempting to take action now, others try to not believe. Eventually, however, we are all going to see what we have truly been doing. Global warming is possibly the most debated topic today, but it is also the biggest problem our world faces today. Our ignorant way of living has now become harmful to the only earth we have to live on. Although some may not see the effects now, to many this problem is surreal. Multiple species of animals have been endangered by the effects of global warming. This problem not only limits the life of...

...know this planet "Earth" is the only green planet created by Allah Subhanu Taala. Now, this planet is in danger due to over exploitation and greediness of the humanity. All other fauna and flora are also in danger and already many species have disappeared from this planet due to rapid change of ecosystem. The term Green Banking is now popular worldwide now-a-days. It is for stopping the environmental degradation and making this planet habitable. The concept of Green Banking developed in the western countries, which has been replicated by many developing countries. It means the eco-friendly or environment-friendly banking and it also refers to ethical banking or sustainable banking. We all know that the peoples of the whole world are concerned about the environmental degradation, especially the rising of global temperature and thereby melting of glaciers and ice-berg in the polar region and consequently rising of sea level, which will directly affect the low lying countries of the world. The world conscious people are also concerned about the increase of Green House Gases and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and thereby depletion of Ozone layer. As such, every person and especially the professionals must have greater role to check the environmental degradation. Bankers are the important professional group who has interaction with the other groups of people and also with general masses. They can adopt different green activities within their in-house environment and also can initiate...

...1.Recycling Unfortunately, there seem to be many people who think that only governments and big companies in general should do something to conserve the environment. This is however untrue. Every single individual is actually able to participate in protecting this planet frompollution and suffocation caused by all kinds of residues and waste “produced” by the world’s population. It is actually quite easy to go green. Taking care of the environment should be everyone’s responsibility and privilege at the same time; the privilege to conserve the planet for the generations to come. There are numerous ways in which environment protection and conservation can be achieved.Nevertheless, we will try to enumerate ten of the most common and simple ones. They are easy to do by absolutely anyone with a little bit of good will. There are three essential verbs youshould keep in mind: reduce, recycle, reuse. Recycle everything you can and try to buy reusable and biodegradable products as much as possible. Whether it is glass or paper, plastic or metal, all these materials can be re-used. Empty jars, wine bottles, broken glasses and absolutely any other item made of glass which is no longer useful should be recycled. It takes a million years for glass to decompose. Also, old newspapers, paper wraps, cardboard, sheets of paper you no longer need should all reach the paper container and be sent in order to be recycled. Millions of trees will thank you for that. It is amazing to see that...

...Climate change has damage the planet beyond repair. Melissa Giannotti (1100 words) ‘Unless we announce a disasters, no one will listen’ (J.Houghton, 1994). The continuous struggle to halt climate change and save the world is perhaps the biggest challenge the humanity has ever faced. The world-threatening rise in temperatures, the extinction of species and the flooding of oceans, is coming under challenge as never before. The world has known about global warming since the late 1970s, but since that time a little has been done to halt it. This essay sets out to examine why is too late to find a solution to save the planet. The first thing to get straight is to define the meaning of climate change. Climate change involves any changes in weather patterns, such as colder, wetter, cloudier, and windier condition. According to McGuire (2008,a), over the 4.6 billion year history of our planet, the climate has constantly changed in response to several factors. Until now, many have argued that since the industrialization has started, more greenhouses have been added to the atmosphere, causing the warming Earth’s climate. In fact, research conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2013) states that the warming of the climate system is certain. Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer than any previous decade since the 1850. For instance, the evidence demonstrate a clear increase in warming of 0.85 [0.65 to1.06]°C over the period 1880 to 2012...

...Should Recycling be Mandatory for All Americans? Do you like to live in a place where trash is all around you? The average person living in North America produces 1600 pounds of garbage a per year, that is 29 pounds a week, and around 4.4 pounds of garbage in a day. Just sit back and think if everybody did their own part on recycling? Once all people stand for the cause and work together this problem can be solved sooner than later. People not recycling have created many problems for humans, wildlife, and sea creatures living on the earth. It should be mandatory that each city in the United States have a recycling program put into place. Not having these programs already in place has caused a change in the climate. There is a demand for new resources and trees to be cut down due to not recycling. Carbon dioxide that is processed by plants has decreased with the removal of trees. When trees are cut down fuel is needed to transport and process new paper. The fuel is being burned causing it to be released into the environment as greenhouse gases and this is contributing to the environment. The environment must process papers that do not reach landfills. After the paper goes into a landfill it must remain there until the ground absorbs it and processes it. Even though paper degrades at a faster rate than other manufactured items such as; Styrofoam and plastics, it is better to recycle paper than to consume new paper. Landfills are overcrowded due to human waste. All paper that...

...Tom Godwin’s “Cold Equations” demonstrates the idea that a person may be forced to make a decision that may go against their morals in order to better help the majority, and therefore it is important for a person to live life with no regrets. “Cold Equations” begins with the introduction of the new, space oriented future, where people can travel to separate planets and galaxies and explore space. In order to conserve fuel, computers calculate the amount of resources needed for the journey, which means that there is no possible room for any factors that have been unaccounted for. A rescue pilot is traveling to a far off planet to deliver desperately needed supplies to an exploration team when he discovers a stowaway on his ship. This stowaway is a...
