...Water is an important resource for life and living. We drink water, we use water to bathe, we use water to cook, and we use water to stay hydrated. In turn, it’s very important to conserve water and use it when needed. Many people use water today without asking these questions: ‘What would I do without water?’ or ‘I wonder what it would it would be like to not have water directly inside of our houses, what would we do if we had to go out and find the water ourselves?’ That is the epidemic people in this world are faced with today. And I believe that it is fixable. Although it will be hard to notify people about this crisis it is not impossible. The unthinkable needs to be present in this mind set. What would happen if we were to run out of water in Georgia, or in a bigger aspect The United States of America! We would struggle with finding the location of fresh water, we would struggle with how to get to the water once we find it, and struggle with the decision of what is more important to use the water on. All this would be avoided if we were just to conserve water now. Water will soon dry up in certain spots and be unavailable to some people. Water conservation would be a good choice right now for later usage of this natural resource. We have to learn from what has already happened. In Africa they have very little to no water. There has been an ongoing epidemic in Africa, the problem is getting better but it is still there. We have to learn from previous misfortunes and...

...When I heard of the word Ecology, I can’t help myself to visualize and wonder how God created the Universe. My idea of God creation of course, is the one that I read in the bible, book of Genesis. The Earth was formless and desolate. Total darkness and the power of God are moving over the water. With his command, everything appeared. Then we have the day and night. Then, He divides the water and keep it in two separate places, and so on and so forth. He created every single thing that man will need of, for its survival. At my young age, I have a lot of question: Why the earth is round? Why is the sky so high and why man can’t reach it? Why there is land, mountains, seas, rainbows, trees, and grass and animals and flowers and fruits? Why God created all these? I know very well that God made us human the highest form of animal, thus protector of all His creation. It is now our obligation to do protect all that he created. How can we do that? What is the power of man that God has given to protect his creation? Do we really have to be concern about God’s creation? Do we really have to care for our Land, Water, and Air? How do these creations affect us Human? Maybe this time we have stop, and think. They say ecology is the scientific study of interactions of organism with one another and with the physical and chemical environment. How do we people interact with these organisms? It seems so simple, but it’s not. Interactions, there is a relationship, right...

...island, what would it be? I believe that if I were in charge of a large group of people 1000 years ago I would choose the river valley for three important reasons. Firstly,the river valley will provide me with water so I'll be able to grow crops, secondly I'll be surrounded by other civilizations which gives me an opportunity to trade, and finally once my civilization is strong enough I have the opportunity to expand. I am inclined to believe that water is the most important element on earth, because one of the greatest civilizations in history was built on the benefits of water.The ancient Egyptians "pharaohs" depended on water to survive, using water they were able to feed and dress their people. Which had let me to believe that my geography is my destiny, and that's why I chose the river valley. In addition to the availability of water, the trade of goods and services between people as well as nations has been going on for far more than I can remember.The river valley is surrounded by other civilizations which presents a perfect opportunity for the trade of goods and services.For example, using the river's water to my advantage I can trade my crops for other goods I can't produce. in my own point of view I tend to believe that the place or environment I live in shapes the life I will lead, and that’s the second factor that lead me to choose the river valley.Last but not least, providing food and services for my people will lead to an increase in population, which will eventually...

...Pre-Lab Questions 1. Nitrogen fixation is a natural process by which inert or unreactive forms of nitrogen are transformed into usable nitrogen. Why is this process important to life? The useable nitrogen created, is extremely important since it is used to form DNA, enzymes, and other biological processes. Nitrogen fixation is also important because when it is inert, it is useless for organisms. 2. Given when you have learned about the hydrogen bonding shared between nucleic acids in DNA, which pair is more stable under increasing heat: adenine and thymine, or cytosine and guanine? Explain why. Adenine and thymine are more stable because, the additional carbon bonds make their nucleotides more stable. 3. Which of the following is not an...

...refilled instead of replacing them. Compost food scraps, avoid bottled water and other packaged products, upgrade computers rather than buying new ones... the list is endless! Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Make it a habit to reduce the things we need or we consume. Purchase only things that we only need and eat only what you can. Let us do our share not to be part of the problem or should I say part of the garbage problem. Reuse all the things that can still be repaired/fixed or those things that are still okay. Recycle things to conserve our resources, collect old newspapers, books, magazines, used papers, bottles (plastic and glass), and any other things that you could sell in junkyards. There is money in garbage and at the same time we’re doing our part in recycling process. Be responsible with your garbage, dispose them properly. Also try to use segregation scheme with your trashes, separate those decomposable from those that are not. You may utilize a compost pit to house all of your organic trashes and eventually use this as your fertilizer for your backyard garden or to your plants. Do the traditional way of helping to conserve our environment by virtue of avoiding smoke-belching, saving electrical energy by employing tips (like regular cleaning of our bulb and fluorescent light in our home, use only appliances when needed, avoiding dripping of water from our faucets, and reporting any case of broken water pipelines to local government).

...Reaction Paper Submitted by: Dennis Hernandez Section: J2S Village of the Water Mills Based on this video clip the old man reminds me the importance of our nature and also the old man explains even if there's no technology we can survive. in the part of the children putting some flowers in the big stone it attracts me to thinks why the children's put flowers there after passing the bridge and the old man that there's a person who is buried there after seeing him dead by that I learned that we are forgotten many things in the past especially giving respect to others and our ancestors and the old man also discussed the life in the cities and the people there especially the scientist he said that scientist proud to their inventions but those inventions will lead us to destroy our nature. He said also the most important things to us people is the clean air clean water and the trees and grass the produced them. but now we can only see polluted air dirty water. it make sense we people are the one who is destroying our beautiful nature . I was amazed on the people who lived in the village. because the aged of the old man is one hundred three and he can lived like an normal human to think people in the cities at aged of sixties or seventy and up its rare to see people work like the old man do it means to lived in a life of simplicity it will make us lived more years. it just because he is leaving in a good place with good nature that give healthy health. not like in cities...

...The first visual text that includes the Earth in a situation with severe drought and is revitalized by water is similar to the golden faucet that controls water with a lock, but they both have great differences such as they are both trying to convey the same initial message but in completely opposite ways. In addition, they are different because the way that they convey the role that water plays in our life is completely different and the target group is also completely different. They are also similar because they target the idea that water is essential and its conservation is very important and that without water conservation we would lose our essentials. But I have come to a conclusion that the second visual text conveys a better feeling of what it is trying to get across without too much over thinking and just by keeping it simple and very clean, just a small phrase that aids to the visual representation that is given. These to visual texts are similar to the point that they are trying to show you the fact that water...

...Throughly reading the speech presented by David Foster Wallace he has made valid points throughtout his speech that has consisted of real life problems and talks that he later explains in depth. The arguments that he has made can be seen as plot twists and how many other people can for see life as they know it. Also how the world around us is known to be oblivious and ignorant. What he then begins to talk about after many stories being told is that you have have education and to not fall behind. You get the freedom to learn and educate your well being. With the mix of many analogies and different stories he has brought to the thought of our minds he conveys the speech not only to the graduating class of 2005 but also to the parents and elders...

...scanning the water. All I look forward to on these summer days is lunch break and free swim time. I know I am safe if anything happens today, I’m a lifeguard, I’m trained to respond to life-threatening situations. Blow a long whistle really loud, point at the person in distress, and press the Emergency Stop button. I’m okay. I kept pacing back and forth doing my job, watching over people’s lives. On this afternoon I encountered a situation that will forever be imprinted in my memory. I remember vividly seeing a body on the mid-surface of the water, sinking. Looking at the body I waited for it to come back up or at least show me some signs of helplessness. Nothing. And I counted “One. Two. Three.” I blew on my whistle, pointed at the body, and went to hit the Emergency Stop button. I jumped right in and my heart was pounding. “Why isn’t he moving or struggling?” “Was this going to be my first unconscious body?” “...Please let them be okay” I thought to myself. As I was getting closer to the body I saw it keep sinking. The worst thoughts came into my mind. When I was right on top of it I left my red lifeguarding tube on the surface and dove straight under, grabbed the heavy man with both my arms, going under his armpits and pushed off the bottom of the pool. I was struggling. I can’t struggle now. This person depends on me. I felt this feeling of adrenaline rush through me so I kicked my feet as hard as I could and got the man over my tube on the surface of the water. I tilted his...

...Brandon Kasinger Tmgt-3347 10/27/2014 Personal Ethics Ethics is what truly defines a person or company. In our world today, everyone is governed by a complex of moral principles and values in which they believe in. That’s why everyone in the world is unique we all have different codes of ethics that make us the individuals that we are. We all have different opinions of what is right and what is wrong. Did you think it was right when Germany invaded Poland? Well Hitler certainly did. But why do we think differently? What makes a person different from one another? What makes me, ME? What you personally believe is morally good and the values that you have as an individual is known as personal ethics. Each individual’s personal ethics are defined by what they have gone through and their past experiences. I believe the biggest impact on a person’s ethics is how they were raised and this is because of the impact my parents had on me. My mom always told me honesty was one of the most important qualities a human being could have. She believed that honesty was what people use to build any relationship. By being honest you will make those around you feel as if they are exposed to your true self. Thus, making them assured that you truly value their relationship and make a bond long lasting. By her definition a lie will put a relationship, rather it be business or person, in jeopardy. For instance, when I was in high school I lied to my mother about staying after school to study...

...In the novel Bless Me,Ultima written by rudolfo anaya, Antonio's dream in chapter twenty two explains his dream and the different type of things he saw throughout his dream. This helps convey the idea of confusion between antonios religion and the suffering he's been through. We see this through the use of symbolism and imagery. In the beginning of Antonio's dream, antonio sees some type of “parade” passing with all the men Antonio had seen die. Among them was Lupito, narciso, and florence. “Finally i saw the body of florence, floating motionlessly in the dark water.”(243). THis was an example of imagery. The dark water represented sadness and death. I believe this because dark is usually a very sad color and and in funerals people wear black because of their deep sorrow .This is why the water was black instead of clear. This was also an example of imagery because, it gave so much detail it made us feel like we were part of the dream and staring at the same thing antonio was...

...In Paolo Bacigalupi's The Water Knife, a drought has taken over the United States and has left the state of Phoneix hanging by a thread. Throughout the novel, the theme of greed and betrayal is frequently associated with a “rumored” set of water rights found in Phoenix that could change it all. The novel, too often depicted as being a climate fiction story showing the aftermath of a slow apocalypse has been neglected to be perceived as anything else. However, this overlooks the social, human element that dominates the plot of the novel. Therefore, I argue that the root of the deaths in this novel were not from global warming but from others being too greedy. One of the first major deaths of the novel was water attorney Jamie. Due to his cocksure...

...One of the main reasons we should save the wetlands is because we need them. They soak up excess water and help clean up water left behind by floods. wetlands also provide a habitat for animals including 50% of federally listed and endangered animals. wetlands also clean our left over water, the plants filter the the leftover water and convert it to a less harmful substance. Although wetlands are great at filtering water they can't do it all, stuff like industrial waste,sewage and storm water runoff they can't clean it out. One thing that really angers and confuses me is why pepole build over them in the first place. Its’ hard to build over them, the places will sink, its messy and its ruining the environment why?! According to the state of florida wetlands were once thought to be useless...
