According to Everglades.org, they’ve “contributed to nearly 70 percent of extinctions in the United States” and are the “primary cause of species endangerment.” The water itself is a major cause of decline to the area, firstly because of poor water management leading to water levels being too low or too high at the wrong times has caused a decline in many species. Secondly, poor water quality has had devastating consequences. The pollution and an abundance of toxins and nutrients has helped to kill off many living things in the
Environmentally, Appalachia is among the nation’s most biologically diverse areas. All of the blasting and the scarring of the Earth with heavy machinery destroy this diversity for future generations. Through their lack of respect for the land and the people that come with it, a lot of people have died. Deep Down, was a film that featured a community that was directly affected by the coal industry. A main character, Terry, was an older middle aged man who worked for himself and built everything he needed on his families land.
He became primitive because he had to hunt and gather food like Native Americans did hundreds of years ago. The people who lived many years ago used home made weapons such as, bows, spears, and knives. They made weapons very well and they killed animals excellently. When John was in the forest, he had to hunt animals himself like the people that lived a log time ago. “E- yah!
The Cambodian Genocide Imagine you were forced out of your house and were taken to the countryside to do backbreaking, agricultural work. If you were caught conversing without permission, you would’ve been arrested, taken to prison, then executed. Van Nath, a survivor from the Cambodian genocide recalled this event by telling Christiane Amanpour, the Chief International Correspondent of CNN, “I thought that was the end of my life. In my room people kept dying, one or two everyday “ (1). Like Van, the lives of many other people changed drastically because of this genocide as well as the United States because according to the Holocaust Museum of Houston,” The Khmer Rouge used the United States’ actions to recruit followers and as an excuse
If you don’t deserve it then either does the animals of the world. If somebody took something of mine I will take something of theirs because it isn’t fair to anyone or anything.

Companies have deposited their waste in the lake, which has caused the lake to be shut down because humans are getting sick and even dying from the polluted waters. Viruses, pathogens, chemicals and toxins are all part of this pollution, which affects recreation, jobs, and habitats of animals. Fishermen have not spent money fishing for sport due to the drastic reduction of the salmon population at Lake Huron. Recreational hours at the lake have also seen a drastic decrease.

As the land disappears so do the species that inhabit it. These geographically isolated wetlands have over 121 species of animals and 123 species of plants at risk as these marshlands disappear (Comer, 2005). As this ecosystem vanishes what else is it taking with it? What conservation effects are being made? One of America’s most productive and environmentally sensitive ecosystems is facing collapse (America’s Wetland Foundation, 2009).
A Modern Modest Proposal In our world today, we have an ongoing problem with pollution. In the past decades, the pollution caused by our human race has continued to show an impact on our Earth. Every day our beloved planet is getting hurt more and more and this is making it harder for life to be sustained here. Soon, planet Earth could cease to exist and human life as well as all living species could become extinct. I propose that we eat all of the pollution waste, causing all of the waste to disappear from the Earth (logical appeal).

The video then talks about the meat packing industry and how it is the most dangerous job in the world so illegal immigrants have become common. The government has started cracking down on workers not the companies so this is an ongoing process. Jumps back to the honest farmer that does it old fashioned and has him talking about how the whole system of industry will be changed from the excessive demand. The system has become very vicious and consequences for not following regulations have become so severe that the accused farmers are put out of business.
