In his video Ea says that the trees will continue to be mowed down simply to produce paper and money. Moreover, trees possess the ability to provide most living creature with the air they need to survive. In addition, they also provide the key to cures and aid in the fight against pollution, but they can’t do that when they are dead. Ea states that the Native Americans took care of the Earth in behalf of their grandchildren. Not to mention after Columbus came to America this positive mindset changed Europeans infected the natives and took their land.

Though, Atwood have produced many works, not any of her works has this much portrayal of nature and environmental issues as it is done in the novel Oryx and Crake. Atwood believes that the climatic change is something that would cause a huge damage to the world as these climates do not change with the blessing of the Mother Nature but due to the horrid actions that is done by the humans. In the novel, Atwood in many places shows what would be the future like with the abomination of natural

‎ In “The Sky Tree” the speaker’s use of symbolisms shows the importance of the rooting of the ‎tree throughout the myth.

He writes, “God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand straining, leveling tempests and floods; but he cannot save them from fools,-only Uncle Sam can do that.” (Paragraph 16). Muir is saying that the trees have survived by many natural disasters for hundreds of years only to be cut down by humans in a second so he would like if the government to make laws so the trees can be protected from human harm. We can view the trees as how Muir views time and life. In life we age everyday but one day all of a sudden we will be gone whether its from old age, disease, or an

In 1970, he created Earth Day and has helped the earth to be a healthier place for everyone to live in. On April 22, every picks up trash and plant trees but what is forgotten is why we have it. Gaylord grew up with two passions that ignited him to take the stand and help the earth. Nelson grew up in clear lake Wisconsin. His mother was part of the suffrage movement The massive Santa Barbara oil spill and a river so polluted it actually burned, Cleveland's Cuyahoga River.

The protection of environment is crucial to the wellbeing of this planet. The job of government is to protect and preserve the land on which its people live. However, there is a bill being considered that completely goes against this, one that calls for the eradication of the Environmental Protection Agency, a government program created to protect human and environmental wellbeing through their regulation of laws. I urge you to oppose bill H.R. 861 - the termination of the Environmental Protection Agency - because of the ways that the EPA protects air, water, and land.

Even though they were not owned by any rich person, what they did was the same as slaves. They worked for the North American people. The destruction of forest has been issued as an environmental problem for a long time. However, I have never heard about the connection between the fast-food and forest, so this article was really interesting to me. I learn there are a lot of causes of destruction.

In each bit of evidence he brings up, there’s no statement explaining why or how each of these attacks came to be. If all of these attacks were random, and there was no justification for them then it would definitely prove his point much better. He also fails to give statistics. He quotes Aukland mayor Phil Goff to prove his point, saying “Goff pointed to the fact that the number of dog attacks in January this year were double what they were a couple of years ago, saying "every day there's a couple of hospitalisations caused by dog attacks".” But this doesn’t give the reader an amount. Double could mean from one to two, and a couple hospitalizations could be a very small number.

Now, some may compare this to animal testing justifying that, “millions of animals are killed now to save billions of people in the future.” However, this is not at all justified because unlike the trolley dilemma, we have not only a choice, but alternatives. There are many non-animal testing alternatives that have been developed which are less expensive and more

Review of Literature Environmental issues began to be discussed and debated only towards the end of the 20th century. Since then significant amount of literature has been penned down raising awareness about issues of pollution, deforestation, animal rights and several others however it has failed to result in major changes, ideas or even actions to save the environment. Several species of animals have become extinct; pollution level is at an all-time high, global warming is leading to severe climate changes all across the globe but these problems do not seem to alarm the decision makers. Leydier & Martin (2013) also states that, “despite the increasing expression of concern in political and media debates about issues such as climate change, pollution and threats to biodiversity, “political ecology” (operating at the confluence of scientific developments, political engagement and ethical debates) is still trying to find its bearings” (p.7). It is quite evident that environmental issues are not treated in equivalence to political, economic, social or even religious issues.

After seeing the horrific sanitation issues in the meat processing industry, the president decided that the government needed to step in and provide regulation. He also later signed the Pure Foods and Drugs Act, which banned the sale of food and drug which the government deemed unsafe for public consumption. But Roosevelt wasn’t done improving the public welfare. He strongly believed that the preservation of wilderness was crucial to America’s health and economy. He preserved over 230,000,000 acres of land, setting aside 150 protected forests, 51 federal bird reserves, 4 game reserves, and helping build 24 irrigation projects.

I believe historians should left behind the question of how many indigenous people were living in the American continent before Columbus arrival, after all professionals on the subject are not able to reach an agreement after “more than a century debating the question” debating; according to The unfinished Nation document. This not because to know the populations number is not important, but because there are many other interesting question were they can focus their attention. For example if they can study the way that indigenous people were able to manage their natural environment on their favor in such a large scale like the Amazon forest, as stated in chapter 1 of US: A Narrative History by James West. Understanding this management of resources will help us to determine in modern days how to explode our resources in a sustainable manner.

How did the methane get into the water? After even more research, the EPA found that the only probable cause was fracking. This incident is not isolated either. There have been countless reports of different earthquakes, explosions, contaminations, and health issues, all over the country that can be linked back to fracking. Yet there are still very few regulations set on fracking.

There are scientific reports that the flu death numbers are way too high. A pandemic swept through America and killed more people than the deaths associated at the time of WW1. {http://virus.stanford.edu/uda/} The flu virus is designed to help prevent widespread tragedies such as this. Pharmaceutical companies are powerful and use lots of money to push their drugs, called developments. Most cases, the drugs are not really needed, and all side effects are not proven before they are placed for public usage.
