Also science and technology have developed new engines and manufacturing plants that reduce pollution back into the environment. Automobiles produce lower volumes of carbon dioxide then they did thirty years ago because technology was developed because of legislation that set standards that automobile manufactures had to meet by a certain deadline. Science and technology will be relied on to help fix the ozone layer and try to reverse the effects of global warming. • Why is the concept of environmental

we annually release an estimated 20 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through driving to work, the use of heating and cooling appliances, and turning on lights (Ecologic Development Fund, 2010). The increased temperature is depleting our ozone, causing severe hurricanes, major flooding, and intensifying desertification, meaning “reduction or destruction of the biological potential of the earth which can create the conditions analogous to a natural desert" (Desertification and Hazard Assessment

disease. Global development strategies are needed to reduce communicable diseases. In the future, communicable diseases are likely to grow in the United States. For the United States cannot ensure safety for its citizens without noting other diseases in the world. If the United States investigates other outbreaks, they can learn how to best prevent and treat diseases prior to them coming to the country. Numerous agencies are involved in efforts to fight communicable diseases. Just recently, a task

observed in the last 50 years is due to human activities. While climate change is a global issue, it will affect us all. Climate change has the potential to adversely affect our environment, our communities and our economy unless we take action now to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts. Climate change will alter global and local climates. In Victoria, this means a warmer and drier future, with an increasing likelihood of more extreme events such as heatwaves, bushfires and

security, and threaten other basic human needs. Impacts such as: record high temperatures, melting glaciers, and severe flooding and droughts, are becoming increasingly common around the world. In the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore discusses his efforts to make the issue of global warming a recognized problem worldwide. Al Gore, former U.S. Vice President, clearly states the current issues with the planet and explains if no changes are made soon, it will lead to disaster. In the beginning of Al

release carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere. In closing, deforestation is another significant source of greenhouse gases, because fewer trees means less carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen. There are several ways we can reduce greenhouse gases. We the people have to stand up and take full responsibility for our daily actions. One has to

Aluminum Recycling How many times have our parents asked us to take the trash out? Probably more than most of us care to remember. Instead of asking if we took out the trash, parents are now beginning to ask if we sorted the trash. The purpose of my Senior Project was to promote awareness to the benefits of recycling. My community service consisted of promoting, researching and participating in the recycling of aluminum cans. There are many financial and environmental benefits to recycling

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
