Humans are killing the earth. Many people are pushing aside the importance of recycling and the impact it can cause on everyone. If recycling was an applied worldwide method, it would benefit the environment in impacting ways. Take into consideration that each individual person’s carbon footprint has a tremendous importance in the well-being of the earth because of the abuse of greenhouse gases. With this in mind, recycling should be mandatory; it reduces pollution, restores the ozone layer, reduces

We live in a fast paced world, where we want everything now and promptly, without any regard to how it would affect us in the future. As consumers, we do not plan ahead for how our future generations will suffer as a result of our simplest choices. Our ecosystem and climate change are suffering as a result of our careless ways. Consumers have to make sustainable choices for food production and consumption because we have a responsibility to preserve our environment for the generations to come. One

Changes in climate relate to changes in surrondings and often , as an example, temperature, precipitation, and wind over the course of months to several years. More widely, climate refers to changes in atmosphere (gaseous envelope surrounding the earth), layer (water on the surface of the earth), cryosphere (snow, ice, and land on and below the surface of the world and ocean), land surface, and region (ecosystems and organisms living within the atmosphere, land, and oceans).When we point out temperature

The organic movements origin can be scheduled to the beginning of the 20th century (Carolan, 2012; Holt & Reed, 2006). however its broader application and global popularity merely emerged within the past 30 years, which was mainly caused by the gaining awareness about that with increasingly intensified agriculture – which was induced by the ‘Green Revolution’ and necessary due to the continuously growing demand for food – remarkable damage to the environment was caused and despite its intensification

After the Second World War, landfilling was still the principal waste disposal method and rapid growth in consumption from 1960 onwards resulted in a larger municipal waste stream with a higher plastics content (Wolsink, 2010). Finally, the environmental movement of the 1960s and 1970s brought waste disposal onto the political agenda in industrialized countries (Wilson, 2010) which created a significant shift in policymakers’ perspectives on how to approach SWM. New legislation addressing water pollution

Climate change is one of the most severe environmental challenges facing the world at present. It refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural variability or as a result of human activity (Kinyangi et al., 2009). Global warming shows increasing trend and is expected to bring about long term changes in weather conditions (FAO, 2008). Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia

The woolly mammoth lived over half a million years ago, but became extinct 4,000 years ago after a slow decline in numbers. We are able to study the reason for the mass extinction of these beasts through different proxy methods, such as tree rings, pollen and sediment preserves and archaeological evidence, to understand the demise of what was once a highly successful species. Archaeological evidence makes it clear that the woolly mammoth was well adapted to its ice-age environment. Cave paintings

Everyone opinion about climate change is different, especially the methods to fight the changes .The articles, “Fight the climate change with diet change “ by a representative of the PETA organization and “It’s not enough to go vegetarian to fight climate change” by Richard Eckard, the Associate Professor and Director of Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre possesses slightly different opinion about veganism. Both of them agree that Vegan diet can help to fight the climate change but the

rainfall patterns (Urama & Ozor, 2010). Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns affect agriculture, especially in tropical regions. Consequently, rain-fed agriculture is seriously threatened resulting in imminent global food insecurity Although the impacts of climate change is global, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is noted to be the region most vulnerable to many adverse effects of climate change because of her high dependence on rain-fed agriculture for food security, economic growth, coupled with
