Hemp could be an easy more efficient and more environmentally friendly alternative to cotton. For hundreds of years hemp was used to make various commercial products like paper, rope, canvas and textiles. Many years ago hemp was unjustly banned. However, hemp has recently been rediscovered as a plant that has enormous environmental, economic, and commercial potential. The major problems with cotton are that the plantations require a lot of herbicides and pesticides, they use a lot fertilizer and they use up massive quantities of water.
These side effects, while perhaps annoying or inconvenient, are nothing compared to the effects of West Nile Virus. Therefore, it recommends itself for use in the eradication of the mosquito population in Genericville (ATSDR, 2003, p. 1.1). When exposed to large doses, Malathion is potentially deadly. However, with education the risks will be kept at a minimum. Public service announcements, newspaper notices, mass mailing and town hall meetings will be employed to teach the citizens about this hazardous but necessary chemical.
The food companies use these additives in their product to enhance the flavor of their products, making them more desirable. These scientists also used this technology to produce coloring additives to enhance the color of the food, using research that showed that looks were as important to consumers as taste. According to Schlosser, “About ninety percent of money that Americans spend on food is used to buy processed foods.” The American flavor industry produces roughly ten thousand new processed food products each year, with annual revenues of $1.4 billion. While most of the new products will fail, the ones that survive have distinct flavors created by a “flavorist” in a
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
The smaller laws affect us like an ecosystem is affect by the extinction of a small species. The idea people continuously fail to understand is that these somewhat small laws are there to protect from the major laws that can be caused by them if everyone is doing

Further regulation is unnecessary and will only prevent an opportunity for the U.S. to develop an alternative energy source and create jobs. * Critics of hydrofracking say: The chemicals used in fracking fluid are toxic and pose a danger to public health if they contaminate drinking
Hydroelectric plants may be able to reshape water flows to more closely match daily and seasonal system energy demands. Hydroelectric plants have many advantages but even though they do sound perfect they still have some disadvantages. One of the main advantages of hydroelectric plants is since no fuel is burned there is minimal pollution. Today pollution is a main argument that is harming our environment. Pollution is causing the atmosphere to decay and is helping generate global warming.
The production of Lead additives causes hazardous short-term and long-term health conditions. However, developed countries like the United States have had time in using these hazardous chemicals to rise to an economical level where it could do without and make the switch to safer and not as hazardous alternatives. These developed nations knew the risks as do those who are currently developing but still used lead additives to advance. Is it ethical to produce and sell harmful materials to developing countries or is it unfair to deny these developing nations the same chance to rise up in their economical levels as did the current developed nations of today? If Great Lakes were to stop producing lead additives for developing countries it would devastate Their profits and strike a hefty financial wound into the heart of their
Some issues that arise about 1080’s uses are;  Is the Department of Conservation, or DOC’s attempts to eradicate New Zealand’s pests futile?  Are there any alternatives?  How much 1080 is poisonous to humans?  And finally, what might happen if DOC stopped poisoning altogether? Although 1080 is bad for the environment, I think that it is working effectively.
