The second one is that the amount use of non-reusable materials, such as plastic, causes the waste of earth resources and serious pollution. The next relationship is that people's inconsideration on food resources, including animals and plants, causes their lack of appreciation for food and the nature. Another relationship is that people's unawareness of pouring and dumping wastes and sewers causes serious marine pollution. The last relationship Suzuki tells is that unawareness of energy's limitation of human beings causes some global environmental problems, such as the Energy Crisis, Global Warming, and etc. 2.
About every 3 years they have conferences with EPA to report any problems they may have to report about their drinking water. Currently, EPA is determining better ways to determine and address contaminants to improve drinking water technology and effectively address potential risks to give Americans greater confidence in the quality of our drinking water. “EPA will focus on four principles that will provide greater protection of drinking water. The four principles are: Address contaminants as a groups rather than one at a time so that enhancement of drinking water protection can be achieved cost-effectively. Foster development of new drinking water technologies to address health risks posed by a broad array of contaminants.
In this case the grounds that water flowing past the monitoring site in Los Angles is a discharge of pollution. Meaning that California has the most California has the most complex charter, with millions of pages in detail. The Los Angeles permit set restricts limitations on certain pollutants along with the National Resources Defense Council and the environmental group Los Angeles Water keeper. In which they sued the county after its sites in which they were monitored showed huge and high readings for fecal bacteria, arsenic, cyanide, mercury, copper and zinc. ( articles.latimes.com) In the case they brought up the Clean Water act in which its suppose to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters by preventing point and nonpoint pollution sources, providing assistance to publicly owned treatment works for the improvement of wastewater treatment, and maintaining the integrity of wetlands.
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. Document 8 states essentially that the Green Revolution has been a complete failure based on the fact that it caused water
Unfortunately, Brisbane residents are unable to conserve water without restrictions, which is why the restrictions system is utilized by local government. Brisbane residents have lived with level 6 water restrictions for the past 2 years and as they have been so limited there will undoubtedly be a self indulgent splurge by almost ever house hold. The dams won’t be able to handle the rush and it will only result in short term gain for long term loss. On level 6 water restrictions, the parameters for water use are 140 liters per person per day. At 40 per cent of the reserves, water restrictions will be reduced to level 3 which is 170 liters per person per day.
The Hudson River is polluted in many ways. Some issues affecting the river are accidental sewage discharges, urban surface run-offs, heavy metals, furans, dixons, and pesticides. But the main problem affecting the Hudson River is the discharge of PCB (Polychlorinated biphenyl's). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made claims agains General Electic Corporations claiming that they had discharged 209,000-1.2 billion pounds of PCB from their two manufacturing plants located in Hudson Falls and Fort Edward. They claim that this has been going on for 30 years.
It’s a necessity for living and can not be over looked. There are many regional conflicts involving water in the Middle East. The Jordan River, being a main water source for many years, has become less useful to the people in the region. Increased diversion of the Jordan and its tributary waters for irrigation purposes by Israel and Jordan utilizes most of the river’s water, expect at flood time, before it reaches the Dead Sea. Thus, both the Jordan River and the Dead Sea are shrinking, leading to serious environmental and economic concerns (Held 32).
In the article by O’Rourke she says “Each year, the United States disposes of some 30 billion empty bottled-water containers. Water bottles are filling up our landfills: Two million tons of plastic water bottles a year ultimately end up in them.” These facts are not considering the products used to seal, package, and contain the bottles which may include card board. All this manufacturing can ultimately affect the climate and environment. She also talks about how the people that buy the bottled water rarely recycle them she says “fewer than 15 percent of PET bottles are recycled”. While water bottles are able to be recycled it has been found that the majority are disposed of by trash or being left behind somewhere.
Disposal techniques such as burning and using dumpsites only push the environment further down the drain (Logomasini, 1); since such waste disposal methods bring about environmental concerns as well. Governments have recycling directives in place but companies and individuals are still having the liberty to recycle the waste on their own, and this is where the government directives get overlooked. Disposing biodegradable waste is not as challenging as other waste that naturally decomposes leaving organic benefits to the environment. That being the case, therefore, it means that non-biodegradable waste poses a massive challenge to conservation efforts making it essential to come up with an effective and comprehensive recycling mechanism. This exploratory argumentative paper will delve deep into the case of why recycling the non0biodegradeable waste should be made mandatory by the government for all private individuals and corporate entities to comply with.
