Is anyone concerned with what our world will be like in years to come? With the effects global warming is causing to the environment, it’s hard to say that our planet Earth will be the way it is today. Because we are concerned with our environment and the effects global warming is having on our environment, we should all be inclined to do what we can to help improve the future of our planet Earth. Through extensive research, I have learned what is in store for our environment along with simple things we are able to do to help our environment and our environment’s future. Today I am going to convince you can help to save our environment.
Environmental Values Rebecca Wallace September 25th, 2014 SCI/362SCI/362 Instructor: Gretchen Messier When it comes to the environment there are values individuals have for the ethical point of view for a better living environment. Individuals form their environmental ethics to have the knownledge of the environmental impact. There are methods used for individuals to understand the involvement of environmental issues for reconsideratio of his or her values of the environmental issues. The ethical systems are used and identify for the eenvironmental impacts of the affects on society. To continue to have a better environment it could use some knownledge of improving the environmental problems with solving them.
1). Four main regulatory compliance approaches arise when talking about confined spaces: the risk-based approach, the control-and-command approach, the oxygen deficiency approach, and countries that regulate it loosely or not at all (Enhesa, 2011). This particular scenario involves the risk-based approach and also the control-and-command approach, basically putting the responsibility on the employer and not the employee (Medical News Today, 2011). NewCorp should apologize to Paul and place him in a environmentally safe area as well as taking the control-and-command regulatory approach. This approach forces NewCorp to focus on the safety of the
How can the community reduce the affect of a solid accident incorporating a hazardous material? A single good method is to ensure that the existent regulations are constrained. This point may ask for a significant obligation in human resources. The next community obligation is to assure that the location has an appropriate emergency plan for working with such a type of accident, and that uncertainty concerning jurisdiction (“who’s in charge?” and “who’s in charge of what?”) will not affect or prevent an efficient reaction. Who can help is the situation, when the hazardous material is release?
In document 3, Harry Truman states that the developing countries not only need but also deserve the support of the developed countries to improve living conditions, food supply, disease control, and economic life. The significance of this article is that the author never states that the Green Revolution is the solution, he only points out that there is a problem and that the developed countries are what can solve it. Document 10 states that the nature of the seed the people of Latin America had been growing for thousands of years has lost respect due to the imposition of the Green Revolution. He later says how the revolution contaminated the seeds as well as the over all environment. The significance of this document is that the author is explaining how the Green Revolution has affected small countries and peoples in a bad manner and that the revolution did not help their situation.
This list is used to score a sites potential risk to human health. If a site ranks high on this list it does not necessarily mean immediate action will be taken. After being placed on the National Priorities list, a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study is conducted in order to; “characterize the sites conditions, determine the nature of the waste, assess risk to human health and the environment, and evaluate the potential performance and cost of the treatment technologies that are being considered” (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2011). Following the completion of the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study is the Record of Decision. This is a public document that defines which cleanup methods will be utilized.
We have forgotten “the hard-learned lesson that how you get someplace is as important as getting there” (Berkebile, McLennan, 1999). So, what needs to be done? Well, for one, there is a need to overhaul the entire environmental movement. “Environmentalist can turn things around if they can rethink their priorities and craft more coherent, consistent, morally compelling ways of addressing our environmental plight” (Freyfogle, 2005). Maybe this way more people can understand exactly what the world is facing and what needs to be done about it, to help people to get excited about doing what is morally right in regards to the environment.
But unfortunately, bottled water is wreaking havoc on the Earth’s precious resources. Plus, it is almost definitely not any safer or cleaner than tap water and in fact, sometimes it is worse. Although most of the earth’s surface is covered with water, water shortage is a serious threat to the survival of humanity at present and in future. There is a water crisis which faces many parts of the world and it is a threat to survival of human beings since humans are primarily dependent on water. Shortage in drinking water is a major problem facing developing countries which have not taken drastic steps to harvest water and purify it to make it safe for human consumption.
The forests “breathe” by removing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and giving off oxygen. It is feared that the loss of rain forests will increase CO2 levels in the atmosphere and result in global warming. Tribes Tribes Why are indigenous people in danger? When the first European explorers arrived in Latin America, they brought with them diseases such as small-pox, measles, and even the common cold. Europeans were used to these illnesses so they didn’t get sick, but indigenous peoples had never been exposed to these diseases before so many of them became sick and died They live what is called a sustainable existence, meaning they use the land without doing harm to the plants and animals that also call the rainforest their home.
The type of pesticide that can affect our environment and health are the chemical pesticides. Even though it has been proven dangerous by scientists the government still allows the use of harmful chemicals on many of the foods we eat. The full health risks associated with pesticides are unknown and most pesticides have never been thoroughly studied for their possible long-term health effects on humans. Everyday humans, plants and animals are exposed to a number of different pesticides, which are harmful to their health. Constant exposure can seriously endanger their physical and mental health.
