...If you were an environmental researcher and were given funding to assist with one environmental issue, which of the following topics would you choose to spend your funds on? • Human population • Atmospheric pollution • Water resources • Terrestrial resources • Energy conservation All of the above environmental issues are significant; however, since humankind carries most of the responsibility of the outcomes of the other topics, I chose Human population. My biggest concerns are the stress on the environment, society and natural resources that are caused by overpopulating this planet. My main focus is on the relationship between human activities and consumption patterns. Therefore, my funds would go towards formal education. As this class has been a wakeup call for me, I know now that we need more programs that support the environment and educate everybody properly about ongoing environmental issues. We know that the population is increasing daily and therefore, the consumption of resources is too. Knowing that it would be impossible to regulate population growth, the focus should be on what and how we consume the planet’s resources. My concept is first, awareness and then education. Unfortunately, most people are unaware and need a wakeup call like the one I had. Then, there should be more programs such as Master Recycler Composter Program (this program trains volunteers to educate others about waste reduction, recycling, composting) or Medical...

...After watching the 5/20 rule on the video “the food label and you” the definition is that if the nutrition facts say it has 5% or less it is not a significant source of that nutrient. If its something that is unhealthy you want 5% or less. 20% or more is a significant source for that nutrient. If it is 20% or more of a healthy nutrient its a good serving, if its 20% or more of an unhealthy nutrient then it becomes an unhealthy serving of nutrients. Example is in a can of Ranch style beans it only has 4% of calcium so it is not a significant source of calcium. However it has 24% of sodium an unhealthy nutrient in high doses. Therefor this food should be avoided in an already sodium rich diet and therefor it should be switched for a food that has higher calcium and lower sodium content. The six key food label facts that help consumers, starts with serving size so you can compare similar foods by the serving size and servings per container. The serving size makes a difference between the number of calories and the nutrients. If it says serving size is 1 cup but servings per container say 2, and you eat the whole can of food then you eating double the nutrients and calories. The second part of the nutrition facts are calories, always check the calories. The calories determine how much energy you get a serving. You dont want to consume to many more calories without getting the right number of nutrients. To many calories and not enough nutrients can lead...
