The water that I placed activated carbon in actually increased by 2pH rather than decreasing. 3. Based on your data, what effect do you predict coal mining has on the environment? Answer = Coal mining is the removal of coal from the earth which slows the Earth's capability to decrease the acidity of groundwater. If an ideal pH level is 7 than the carbon was able to take our acidic water and make it more neutral.
Another destruction that he talks about is the global warming. Researchers are trying to find expensive ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide as it pours from power plant smokestacks and finally won’t enter the atmosphere. But Mckibben claims that the cars and factories and furnaces will keep belching carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as long as we burn fossil fuels. He also cited what Yale economist William Nordhaus says, “the damage from global warming will be confined to farming and forestry, which represent only 3 percent of the
He insists they would not eat as much if they knew that it was bad for them or if the industry put nutrition labels on their food. My outlook on this topic varied significantly from that of Zinczenko’s. I feel that it is not the fault of the fast food company. Neither would I put blame on the younger children who eat fast food. I would put most of the culpability on the parents who do not teach their kids how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and buy their children unhealthy food. I disagree completely that we as Americans suffer from lack of information about nutrition in fast food.
Oil is a fossil fuel supply which is not being created as fast as it is being drained. It is something that has been the cause of many deaths in two world wars. Hemp could be contributing to our independence in lieu of the government spending money to burn these crops that grow naturally. Some food crop production is being geared toward making a fuel called Ethanol. Ethanol is a healthy alternative to oil.
Politics of Food Essay #1 In Wendell Berry’s essay, “The pleasures of eating”, he goes into great detail about how people have become lazy and very ignorant about where their food comes from or what they are actually eating. He also goes into detail about how we are eating unhealthy foods as well. Even though most of the things that are sold at a supermarket or a store contain unhealthy things. At first glance, my diet may seem more on the healthy side. My mom looks at the ingredients in whatever she is going to but before she buys it.
The use of chemicals in the hydrofracking process and the energy needed to operate the trucks and drills, critics say, offset the low carbon emissions from the burning of natural gas, making it no better than oil or coal. Furthermore, opponents contend, pollutants left behind at hydrofracking drilling sites could seep out from closed pipes and wells, posing a danger to public health for generations. Therefore, critics say, the federal government must step in to institute stricter regulations than the states have already
Instead most people blame the fast food companies. In the article “Its Portion Distortion” by Shannon Brownlee it is portion sizes and the lack of nutritional guides that are the cause of obesity. While some people may believe that is true I have no idea how to read a nutritional guide and I was taught as I was growing up that fast food is bad for your health. For example the movie “Super Size me” was made to warn people about the dangers of eating nothing but fast food. My family eats out only once or twice a week and the other days we eat home cooked meals.
The addictive and yet fattening qualities associated with fast food leave people constantly craving one more bite. However, Schlosser makes a decent point in the epilogue section of his book when he states that under no circumstances is anyone actually forced to purchase and consume fast food products and those who desire change should simply "stop buying it" (Pg. 269). No matter how many excuses the fast food industry or average consumer comes up with, consuming fast food is just not worth the endless list of consequences
ENG-101-W10 May 1, 2015 Less Meat, Yes Please! Imagine a world free from the shackles of human ignorance, simply by not eating meat one day a week. In his article, “A Meat Lover Says Yes to Meatless Monday,” Josh Ozersky points out that eating less meat one day a week not only improves the quality of our meat, it can also recuperate the meat industries. With unremitting population growth, Ozersky claims, the meat industries are struggling to keep up, and if demand cannot be met in a healthy, and responsible way, then maybe we should take a day off from it. That’s why Meat Lovers across the world should join the food movement and eat less meat.
Drugging animals is too costly. The reason why meat is cheap as it is now is because they don’t pay for drugs to give animals painless deaths, but instead the animals are forced dealing with massive pain to keep the consumers happy. Just like how, “Hutu started killing with guns and grenades. But because they were so expensive, they later turned into machetes, clubs and hands for killing”, leaving anyone a brutal, slow and painful death. This is what animals go through, all day every
