...Recycling- Good for the Environment Each person generates on average 4.4 pounds of waste per day. Enough energy is saved by recycling one aluminum can to light one 100 watt bulb for 20 hours. Most people don’t realize, but by recycling you can reduce global warming, it is good for the economy, and it protects our wildlife. Recycling will help our world last longer and become a better place. Recycling reduces global warming. One way is to recycle all paper products. Production of recycled paper uses 65% less energy than paper production using raw materials. Reducing energy consumption reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It also helps keep waste from piling in the landfills. By buying things with fewer package materials will also contribute to helping global warming. By recycling, it will help benefit to the economy. There are many economic benefits of recycling. One is the beverage container deposit law, which is a deposit- refund system. Another way that recycling is helpful to the economy is it reduces the water pollution. A lot of harmful chemicals and waste end up in the ocean because we have so much garbage. Less than 3% of the 500 million to 1 billion plastics generated worldwide are recycled. They often end up in the landfill or ocean. Recycling protects our wildlife. By recycling plastic, it will help keep the hazardous substances away from our wildlife while we (humans) also benefit from clean beaches and wetlands. The EPA estimates that more than 100,000 marine...

...are aware of all the things that we can do to help our environment by diminishing the amount of trash and garbage that we produce each year. One easy way of doing that is by a method called recycling. Many might not know the importance of recycling and what it can do to our environment. While recycling has become part of the daily routine for many people, the full importance of recycling is not always understood. In general, people do understand that recycling helps to minimize the drain on the limited resources of our planet. However, there are several other factors that make recycling important which will be discussed in this paper. Although recycling may seem like a modern concept introduced with the environmental movement of the 1970s, it's actually been around for thousands of years. Prior to the industrial age, you couldn't make goods quickly and cheaply, so virtually everyone practiced recycling in some form. However, large-scale recycling programs were very rare -- households predominantly practiced recycling. The mass production of the industrial age is, in many ways, the very reason we need to worry about large-scale recycling. When products can be produced (and purchased) very cheaply, it often makes more economic sense to simply throw away old items and purchase brand new ones. However, this culture of "disposable" goods created a number of environmental problems. In the 1930s and 40s, conservation and recycling became important in American society and in many...

...Most Promising Way to Prevent Global Warming Have you noticed why summer is becoming hotter and hotter, why the forests are constantly burning, why there is drought, why the ice glacier is melting, why there is more floods around the world or why spring comes early? The answer to these life threatening questions is global warming. In “The complete Idiot’s Guide to Global Warming,” Michael Tennesen stated: “Global warming is the effect the greenhouse gases are (carbon dioxide, methane, and others) having on the earth’s climate.” (Tennesen 7). The greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is increasing rapidly due to the human activities of burning great amount of fossil fuels. Take action soon, if you want your children to have the future you want them to have. If we do not take action soon, it is likely that there will be some major unpleasant and dangerous changes on earth and also there is a possibility that this beautiful earth we live in is not going to be present. In “Climate Change: What We Can Do,” Jennings Lane stated: “Global warming threatens our economy, our dreams, our very lives.” It is preventable if people work together and sacrifice to change their daily life style. Global warming is a growing and life threatening problem that is affecting all living things on the universe. There are many ways to reduce global warming but the most promising ways are to build up a better mass transit and be engaged in reusing, reducing and recycling. The most promising way people...

...Is Global Warming Skepticism Just Smoke and Mirrors? Dependence of Man on the Environment Greenhouse warming has always been a talk of the future and the talk of skeptics, well it is happening now. Representatives from countries all over the world will meet in July, 2011 to discuss slowing down global warming by setting the limits on the countries' greenhouse gases emissions, which include the emissions of carbon dioxide the industries, machines, and cars produced. (Reis, 2011). Despite of the current evidence of global warming, people still believe that this is something that is completely made up and blown out of proportion. Global warming has a direct affect on everyone and everything on this planet. Global warming affects not only our weather when it comes to heat but also precipitation to include snow, rain and hail. Global warming also causes a negative effect on animals. Animal species have no longer populated certain areas due to the climate change and in due to the climate they need to survive are migrating to where they can get that. Scientist and professionals say that the sea levels have increased due to the melting of the glaciers. (Cunningham & Cunningham, 2009, p. 207) Global warming is commonly referred to as an increase in the temperature of the lowest layers of Earth's atmosphere. Global warming has occurred in the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the term is most often used to refer to the warming predicted to occur as a result...

...Have you ever walked around a school campus just minutes after the lunch break ended? Well if you have, you most likely would have observed the absurd amount of wasted food spilling out of trash cans and scattered around the concrete floors. It makes you realize how much food we waste daily, and how preventable that is. The waste we see has so much potential to be dispersed and organized into composting and recycling bins. With that in mind, it is mandatory that Mills High School should be required to have composting and more recycling bins around campus, this would be beneficial to our planet, as well as the upcoming generations. The benefits range from most importantly controlling climate change to reducing the amount of waste around campus...

...Global Warming Today, the global warming is an undeniable fact, which proves that our planet and its climate are in a big trouble. Global warming affects all areas of our life including; politics, economics and a social sphere. The study of global warming includes many sciences in order to examine what causes global warming and try to find possible solutions to reduce the impact of our civilization on the planet. An interdisciplinary research in this field is important, because global warming is caused by many factors and has an impact on different spheres of our life. For example, climate science is aimed to investigate the changes caused by global warming. Geology examines the impact of human activities on climate. Economic science helps to understand economic benefits and material losses caused by severe weather conditions taking into account results obtained by climate science and Geology. Economic science inquiries into and develops measures to reduce negative impact of economic activity on climate and global warming. Taking into account the information mentioned above, it is evident that an interdisciplinary research is crucial, because one scientist is unable to solve the problem of global warming without any sort of collaborative effort with other disciplines. Natural disasters such: hurricanes and tornados are the result of global warming. In Recent years, hurricanes have become a great problem for many coastal villages and towns around the world. Scientists say that...

...Sarmma Mohan Kumar Assignment #2 1. Greenhouse effect is a process which the temperature on the earth becomes warmer. Greenhouse gasses reduce the rate of earth’s radiation to outer space. Some of the gasses are Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). The increasing amount of gasses in earth’s atmosphere which absorbs more sunlight and results in warmer temperature. 2. The three examples of greenhouse gasses are Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide. 3. Global Warming refers to increase in average temperatures. Greenhouse gasses have an effect on global warming. Gas such as Carbon dioxide leads to climate change over the years. Greenhouse effect can be split into two different categories. First would be the natural Greenhouse effect. This man made greenhouse works by trapping gasses which produces heat by holding it in a huge glass house. The second type of greenhouse effect id the natural greenhouse effect. Some of the activities of man also produce greenhouse gases. These gases keep increasing in the atmosphere. The balance of the greenhouse gases changes and this has effects on the whole of the planet. Burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cutting down and burning trees also produces a lot of carbon dioxide. A group of greenhouse gases called the chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) been used in aerosols, such as hairspray cans, fridges and in making foam plastics. They...

...CHRISTIANS REPONSIBLITY OVER THE ENVIRONMENT ENGL 101 God’s involvement in creations is shown in all aspects of the creation in the Bible. With each aspect of creation, God expressed pleasure in what He created. God’s pleasure in his creation reveals the need for Christians to care for the environment. God shows man’s mandate given by God for creation in Genesis 2: 19-20. Since God gave the mandate to rule over the earth, man is also responsible for the environment. Global warming has affected the planet which is and has caused a climate change on earth. Natural disasters have increased due to the climate change. Christian’s responsibility for creation is to restore its landscape, agriculture, animal life, and human livelihood. Christians have a responsibility to preserve creation by recycling, proper disposal of hazardous waste, and create protection agencies for wild life. Christians have a responsibility to take care of creation, restore, preserve, and protect creation in all aspects which God has commanded man to do. God’s involvement in creation is understood for Christians in the Bible starting at Genesis 1. The Bible shows at the beginning God’s hand is expressed in all aspects of creation. The first day of creation God made space, time, earth, and light. On the second day, God created the atmosphere of the earth which then making it possible for life on earth. The third day, God made dry land and called it “earth.” God names the water “sea.” God also created...

...Global Warming Anita Orzel Southern New Hampshire University Global Warming The earth has undergone periodic changes known as global cooling, and global warming. Today’s global warming is unique, due to human influences. American people should be concerned, as the world's scientific experts agree that industrial and land use activities are having an unfavorable impact on global warming. Burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, gasoline cause buildup in greenhouse gasses, in addition, deforestation, and destruction of ozone layer create global warming. Earth will suffer serious environmental damage if there are no precautions taken now to reduce global warming pollution. To prevent further damage to global warming caused by human activities, policies must be implemented and diligently enforced, all nations need to partake in action plan to implement policies such as fossil fuel conservation and recycling programs. Greenhouse gases help sustain life on earth by trapping heat from the sun and keeping the earth warm. Some greenhouse gasses develop naturally some occur from human activities. Naturally occurring gasses are, water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide (An Overview of Greenhouse Gases 2009). Human activities, such as, burning of solid waste, fossil fuels such as, oil, natural gas, and coal, wood, raising of livestock, and industrial activities add to the greenhouse gasses, and destroy the ozone layer. Lynas M. (2006) burning fossil fuels release...

...everything into the right bins, you recall that recycling is helping your community and protecting the environment” (Bachman). As a responsible human in society, recycling is very important because citizens save 130 million tons of scrap metals, paper, plastics, rubber, glass, and textiles (Wiener, Jhen, et al.). Recycling can eliminate landfills, too. In the United States there are 13,091 landfills, and there are 261 landfills in each state. A landfill is a location where people dispose recyclable materials. Out of the 13,091 landfills 10,000 of them are already filled up (Kraft). The U.S makes 220 million tons of waste per year (“EPA Report Shows Progress”). Yet, where does...
