No matter how many flyers would be sent out to residences, nor how many commercials announced that pesticide would be sprayed on a particular day there are still citizens that would have been uninformed to what was taking place. The poor citizens that do have television and the uneducated citizens that would not understand what they were reading and the harmful effects that the pesticide would have on them would be the ones typically to be outdoors when the spraying is taking place. The agricultural workers in the fields would be sprayed or would handle fruit or vegetables with the residue from the pesticide and get very ill. Killing the mosquitoes is a short term fix, when in all actuality the city needs to take the money donated and educate the citizens and tourist on how to avoid contracting the West Niles Virus. Educating people how to take care of themselves is a long term solution that will not cause irreparable damage to the
(You may do more than one opposing view) One viewpoint that differs from mine is reduced effectiveness of pesticides. Just as some populations of mosquitoes developed resistance to the now banned pesticide, many people are concerned that insects will become resistant to other crops that have been genetically-modified to produce their own pesticides. 7. If your viewpoint was followed, what would be the implications and consequences (good and bad) for appropriate stakeholders and all of
Branch infections are not too serious; stem infections are — they are often lethal. However, stem infections usually arise from branch infections. Pruning infected branches can prevent infections near the stem from growing into the stem, where they are likely to girdle and kill the tree. If the branch dies before the fungus reaches the next larger branch or stem, the fungus is done for. If it colonizes the stem, especially when it is small, the tree is done for.
Although the odor is reasonable to expect, the broken pipe that poured manure into Mr. Anxious’s yard caused a trespass. The dairy farm interfered with the use of his land by saturating it with manure. They should repay Mr. Anxious $500 for cleanup and incur some extra fees for the inconvenience. I also concur Northfields took some reasonable precautions to prevent manure overflow by building pipes, but they need to take further measures to prevent flooding onto neighbor private
Another serious threat to the Everglades is the threat of invasive species. With the ecosystem off balance and its life form struggling, allows species from other areas of the world to take advantage and establish themselves in the Everglades. These invasive species are able to spread through out new ecosystem because they have no nature predators from its native land to keep the population in check. If these invasive species get established it is almost impossible to stop the invaders. These
The extinction of animals will cause more of what they eat this can affect humans by more humans being bite by mosquitoes. The mosquitoes population will increase and anything else that they eat. The recovery and preservation of these animals is complicated because many people do not care about these animals and what it does to them when we destroy their homes, places that they feel safe at.
A counter argument to one of the disadvantages of genetically modified food Some antibiotics can be transferred to humans and make it harder for us to fight infections, genetically modifying foods could potentially put farmers out of work, and some important insects could be at risk because of the insecticides in foods. 6. Picture of the
If they were banned, farmers would have to use a different substance, which could also have other damaging effects maybe not on bees, but on other beneficial insects or even humans. Yet, the United States could take steps in order to ensure these pesticides are used more sparingly or push to discover a new, unharmful pesticide. Heather Pilatic of the Pesticide Action Network, recommends a return to pest management strategies used widely through the 1990s, when pesticide-treated seeds and genetically modified crops allowed farmers to modify their growing strategies. This could help ensure less of the pesticides are exposed to the bees and keep them safer and able to coordinate properly. If our nation would work together to cut down on these awful chemicals, the bees would start to
An invasive plant is a non-native plant species that has escaped cultivation, is spreading on its own and causing environmental or economic harm. • Non-native Invasive plants can outgrow, replace, and otherwise destroy our native plants. That's because non-native plants usually do not have their natural enemies -- the diseases, insects and other environmental stresses -- that keep them in check in their native ranges. • The destruction and replacement of our native plants has several significant consequences: • Our natural biodiversity is destroyed; • Our native plants can be eliminated; • Our wildlife have evolved to use native plants are not able to make use of non-native plants. As a result, they leave the area or die off; • invasive plants can completely fill the water column or cover the
The way the vaccination was given in the 1970’s also attributed to this successful intervention. At first mass vaccination was used to help protect people from the disease, but since everyone did not comply, the disease was not completely eliminated. However, in 1967, a plan called ring vaccination was used. The plan consisted of finding people who had been exposed to someone who was infected, then vaccinating not only the exposed individual, but all those they had come into contact with. This strategy was effective in stopping the spread of the disease.
