It also have some very harmful effects on humans and nature. It creates large amount of pollution, destroys the nature and also increases the diseases in human societies. As in documentary about “The Ethics of Fracking” by Marleen troy PhD (Environmental Engineer), Bernard Prausak and Rabbi Mordechai Liebling.
A spill in any of the deep sea areas would reduce the biodiversity of that area through reductions of bird populations, fish-stocks and populations of marine mammals. All of which are already under severe threat of over fishing and habitat disturbance without this imposed threat. Furthermore the contamination of coastal and coral ecosystems will all lead to to damage on the livelihoods of fishermen and people involved the local tourism. The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been described as the worst environmental disaster in the United States, releasing about 4.9 million barrels of crude oil making it the largest accidental marine oil spill. Most of the impact of this was experienced by the marine species.
Oil spills have a number of effects on the environment and economy. On a basic level, oil will damage waterways, marine life and plants and animals on the land. An oil spill can also ruin the infrastructure and economy of a particular area with the long-term effects being felt for generations. Cleaning an oil spill is very expensive and the costs get spread to government agencies, non-profits, and the oil transport company itself. There is no set science for an oil spill clean-up.
Independent farmers cannot sell the seeds as it is illegal to do so and would result in Monsanto suing the seller and the buyer of the product. Monsanto paid farmers to report any other fellow farmers that was using their product illegally, since Monsanto patented the product, they held all of the rights to the product. A fellow farmer reported to Monsanto that Percy Schmeiser had used Roundup Ready seeds on his crops. The neighbor quickly concluded that Schmeiser had done this because Schmeiser’s crops had remaining standing well into the next season. Monsanto expeditiously sent employees who had trespassed onto Schmeisers property illegally.
Environmental Hazards a. In the St. Lawrence River, lots of industry has resulted in high levels of toxic chemical such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and heavy metals. b. Because these toxins affect not only one specie but also all of species that are interconnected by food chain. c. These pollution decline beluga’s immune system, get disease easily that linked to low birth rates of belugas which have lived in the St. Lawrence River.
The practice of using confined spaces, hormones to promote rapid growth in livestock, chemical insecticides to protect vegetables and lagoons for storing animal waste are methods that leave much to be desired and are harming our environment. Impact of Corporate Farming On Our Water Chemical insecticides and fertilizers have been leaching into our waterways for years. So has the livestock waste stored in lagoons by corporate farmers, some of which are as large as 200 acres. Once these have entered the ground, they will eventually enter our drinking water and all the streams and rivers that lead to the ocean. Not only is the water unfit for human consumption, it is now destroying the marine ecosystem and this is serious business when you consider how important the ocean's health is to human survival.
Drowning in Plastic It’s hard to imagine life without plastic. It’s everywhere: covering our food, holding our purchases, protecting our loved ones, saving patients in hospitals and floating along our waterways and oceans. The thought of living in a world surrounded by toxic chemicals and pollution is a thought which many would rather not think about. Plastics have revolutionised the world in which we live, but with dire consequences. The production of these toxic-filled substances continues to lead the human race on a path of natural destruction; with thousands of animal sea-life dying annually from plastic consumption.
It can cause kidney failure, broken bone and muscle tissues, wrong behavior, even death and most likely suicide. It also damages the society and the economy. In other words, people who using Bath Salt will feel separated from the society, depressed and end up unemployed. They can’t work anymore to earn a profit and the government has to pay for their medicines and health insurance. As a result, they don’t just affect themselves but their family and their friends also.
Calling it Quits Divorce plays a big role in modern day America, and unfortunately divorce rates have continued to increase over the past decade. Divorce is often perceived as a negative topic for obvious reasons such as causing damage to the family, traumatizing the children in the family and other psychological effects it has on people involved. However, both of the two articles I researched discuss divorce and its negative psychological effects; one of the articles differs in that it focuses on the ecological aspects of divorce instead. Jacob Duchaine wrote “An Argument Against Divorce” making claims against divorce and its negativity using biblical references and the stance that “No one takes anything seriously anymore, even marriage”(1).
Fourteen years ago life in my home country (Equatorial Guinea) was basic. The economy was based on agriculture and fishing and people had a basic life style until the government of Equatorial Guinea decided to form a company named GEPSA (Guinea Equatorial Petroleo and Spain Association) between Equatorial Guinea and Spain to search for oil in Guinea. The operation wasn’t successful because Spaniards said there was no oil in Guinea so they left. Guinea’s government not counting with the means to explore and search for oil in the country got into another partnership with France to search for oil in the country. After several months of exploration and studies, French people said the same thing as Spaniards, “no oil in Equatorial Guinea”.
