This devastation affects a majority of the U.S. being one of our largest sources of fresh water, and will only continue to deplete, as companies carelessly dump their waste into the lake. Consumption of fish from this lake will soon be obsolete if immediate action is not taken. These are all things that need to be considered by industrial businesses, families, merchants, fishermen, and environmentalists. As long as the waters are polluted the economy will experience great loss, and may even see jobs created by the Great Lake, eventually
Quality of life is one of the best; people that live here enjoy the security of knowing that their family will be safe. Canada is a free country, and you are allowed expressing your freedom of speech. Canada has a worldwide reputation with other countries because of its non-violent, non-war reputation. We have a great Health care system; our government and
Even though there are people against fracking, the opposites consider that it could be good because it will create jobs, Americans could have their own energy and the U.S.A will use less coal. People who are against fracking claim that it has negative environmental consequences. The drillers use acids such as Boric Oxide and Hydrochloric that are used to clean swimming pool filters. Moreover, they use detergents one of them is Sodium Hydroxide.pH buffer. It is very corrosive and causes severe burns.
Profits are short lived, with little money staying in the community. Large landowners who have benefited are likely to leave town. While some reap financial benefits, the entire community must pay for damages and to clean up a degraded environment. Runoff and erosion at drilling sites may increase sediment and nutrient loads in streams and rivers. This, in turn, can affect habitat quality for plants and animals that live downstream.
Companies are forced to create safer products for the public to use, and also learn to make better with fewer resources. Corporations must invent new ways to cut down on their waste and work with less to create more. Corporations work diligently to cut down their use of water and electricity and other essential needs. They have educated the public about the importance of recycling used products and keeping their environment clean. Over consumption has led to many cures and medicines being created, and has made the world a better and safer place then it once was.
When we refine or even dig up oil sands we produce harmful chemicals. Since Alberta oil sands are located near major rivers some of those chemicals end up in the rivers. The most famous case is with the Athabasca River, where the water is contaminated by many harmful chemicals. The Athabasca water ecosystem is slowly being poisoned and so are the people that use the water for their water supply. The oil sands maybe a large part of our social and economic structure, but they are slowly ruining our environment.
The extended holding of the waste fluid in the pits could lead to their seepage into the ground, especially if the pits are not lined with plastic. This contaminates the water sources around. In addition, any overflows, for instance caused by heavy rains, allows the fluid to contaminate water in the sources. Large volumes of fluid is required (thousands of gallons of water is used per well) and its disposal is an issue too (Schmidt, 2011). Proper disposal methods should be effected to ensure the water aquifers around do not get contaminated.
When I was doing my research, most of the stuff I found was negative. I only found one site that was tellings the positive side on fracking. The outcome of fracking, which is natural gases, are seen to be better for the environment because the gases burn cleaner. But all of the work done to get these natural gases is harmful. There are 40,000 gallons of chemicals used per fracking.
Their working strategies are also very good. Without proper strategies this cannot be possible. The NHS tries to ensure quality service for all. They give medical services free of costs. This is the most positive sight of govt.
It is also a weed suppresser to prevent other weeds from growing because it grows so fast and densely, it blocks out sunlight to other weeds that are trying to grow. This allows farmers to use hemp as a replacement for herbicides and reducing toxins into the ground and surrounding water sources. Hemp can be used to replace petroleum and plastic products and are still biodegradable so it reduces the amount dumped into landfills. Since hemp can be used to replace gasoline and petroleum essentially replacing oil this reduces the environmental risks and impacts of oil drilling. This is a major environmental impact made when off shore drilling accidents happen made seen to the public by the BP accident in April of 2010 where 200 million gallons of crude oil was “spewed” into the ocean.
